22:28 As Rx'd. Sit-ups were done on an incline sit-up bench and I got a brush burn on my backside that still stings. I also have a couple of nice lash marks on my shins from failed double-under attempts. I figured walking lunge was 50 steps with each leg so that's what I did.

Putting Burpees after the double-unders and lunges was pretty sneaky.

120 pull-ups isn't so bad, and 120 Burpees aren't stomch-churning, but put them together and it's a sweat inducing workout. I did this outside this morning, just as it started getting nice and hot and humid with the sun shining right in my face. I finished the first 5 rounds in 12:30 so I didn't lose to much steam over the second half.

Crossfit: Michael

"Michael"

Three rounds for time of:
Run 800 meters
50 Back Extensions
50 Sit-ups

Last time I did Michael, I subbed supermans for back extensions. Total workout time was 24:13. Today was cold and rainy and I didn't feel like running 800m outside so I decided to sub Burpees for the 800m run. Since my best 800m so far was 3:20, and since I can do about 50 burpees in about 5 minutes, I figured about 35 Burpees per round would be a fair substitute. I also subbed "Good Mornings" for Back Extensions. I used a 1-pood kettlebell held behind my head for the good mornings.

Round 1: 7:40
Round 2: 9:18
Round 3: 9:59

Total Time: 26:58

That's a little disappointing because I've done 100 Burpees in slightly less than 10 minutes before. But I've never done them so soon after Murph or yesterday's shoulder workout. Murph really taxed my cardio-pulmonary system, I could tell. I was breathing hard for 51 minutes and my breathing muscles got sore.
