Another intense cardio day

Today was cardio day, and I decided to do the Crossfit workout named Michael...thanks to Kelly for the idea! The CF WOD was all heavy shoulder work, and with a bum shoulder and having done an UBWO yesterday, I was sticking with my cardio.

Michael is three rounds for time of:

Run 800m
50 Sit ups
50 Back extensions

My time came it at a bit disappointing 23:42. The runs were good. I lose time on the back extensions and a little bit on the sit ups. I also lose time moving from the treadmill area of the gym to where I can do sit ups and back extensions.

I'm not completely displeased, because my last Michael my time was 24:44, and the time before that was 25:51. I shave a minute from last time, and that time was a minute less than the previous time. That is certainly progress. I finished with some mountain climbers with the knee going to the opposite elbow for good measure. I was wiped out by the time I finished.

Michael might not seem like much but when you are doing it he isnt nice !

You time is great! It is always a nightmare trying to do it in the gym where things are far apart. Im lucky with this one as i can leave a mat and the swiss ball in the stretching area while i run the track, the only downside to the track is that i have to run further than 800m , its only about 840m, but it still adds up.
