Morning weight: 283#

A
HBBS - 2x5 WU + 3x5 @ 315#

A little rough on the lower body, this was. Left leg started cramping up on the 2nd set of 315#. I chose to do this rep scheme because I want to get something going before I move out to FL, now that I am almost fully recovered from the stomach flu. This didn't feel very heavy, but I'm going to be very sore in my hammies, ass, and quads tomorrow...but it's been a while since I've done anything, so I'm going to hurt quite a bit for the next month, which I am perfectly fine with.

B
[Every 5 min] x 4
200m jog
2 MU
200m jog
5 kHSPU

MU: 8 for 8 (1 rep at a time, none UB)
kHSPU: 20 for 20 (UB every round)
Jogs: UB + UB / UB + UB / (100m walk + 100m jog) x 2 / (100m walk + 100m job) x 2
 
I kept this VERY smooth and I was still pretty wrecked afterward. Coming off of being very sick, losing almost 10# in bodyweight in 36 hours, and eating very, very little, I felt completely depleted once this session was done. Which tells me that I am either NOT ready to begin training or this was a touch too much. However, it DID feel good to do something. I have been wanting to WOD with the class since I got back from Utah, but I got sick almost instantly. Best news, the MU felt great and the kHSPU were absolute cake. 

Kyle,
Sorry for putting up the fail video over the weekend. Reason I did it was because I found it to be very funny and wanted others to find a laugh as well. Lesson learned. Won't do it again. 
Other news, health is improving but I'm having to force myself to eat in order to workout. Today was exhausting and the effort level was low. I would like to get back to developing the skill and confidence to string together ring MU. 

Final thought: 
Steve and I are putting together GRID-specific programming for the current athletes and for others looking to wanting to excel in GRID or other sports. Is this something you'd be willing or want to overlook/assist with? If so, I can send you the template that we have so far.
