Have you ever been stuck in traffic, and thought “ugh… life is too short for this”? I started writing this post in my head, during one of those lovely bumper-to-bumper afternoons…
life is too short...
to be stuck in traffic
to work through lunch
to drive automatic transmission
to watch sports
to take the elevator
to have bad sex
to wear tight underwear, ill-fitting bra and uncomfortable shoes
to eat cheap cheese, Wonder bread, store-bought cupcakes, stale cookies, canned vegetables and low fat ice cream
to drink instant coffee, and bottled beer
to use dull knives and dark towels, small mugs
to give half-assed hugs and weak handshakes
What am I forgetting? Add it in comments!
P.S. Last week during a quiz I told my students not to stir after they finished, but find their happy place instead… Here’s one student’s interpretation…
and a week worth of training…
WOD:
5-7min jumping rope
easy 5k run on a treadmill
45min, teaching hatha yoga
150min, teaching hot yoga
WOD – SUNDAY:
75min, restorative yoga
WOD – SATURDAY:
150min, teaching hatha yoga
2h 48min – long run [~20.4km –> first and last km through knee deep snow]
WOD – FRIDAY:
CrossFit:
front squat 5-5-5-5-5 warm-up: 10(35) / 8(65) / 5(85) / 5(105) 5(115) – 5(125) – 5(135) – 5(145) – 5(150)
8min AMRAP: 8 knee-to-elbow + 8 kettlebell swing + 16 air squat 6 rounds + 6 knee-to-elbow
WOD – THURSDAY:

I’m still pretty clueless about all these running workouts and paces. So until I figure that out, tempo run = pace that makes me want to stop. Like… right away… Then stay there for the duration of the run. Brutal.
WOD – WEDNESDAY:
CrossFit: 6 x 250m Row Immediately following each interval – Set of max effort hand release push-ups Rest ~ 4 minutes after each interval set 1: 58sec / 45 push-ups set 2: 57sec / 46 push-ups set 3: 55sec / 32 push-ups set 4: 57sec / 35 push-ups set 5: 57sec / 37 push-ups set 6: 51sec / 40 push-ups Was pretty happy with my rowing times.
60min, hot yoga
WOD – TUESDAY:
6km easy run on treadmill

45 min, teaching hatha yoga
