5 rounds 3 minutes each:
200m run
box jumps 24″

count total box jumps: 146

3x max l-sits: 0:35s on boxes

I was glad to have this kind of workout because my shoulders still feel funky.

We actually had a bit of rest between rounds (maybe 30 seconds) as we updated our totals and reset outside the gym for the next round. It was not as exhausting as I thought it would be, but that might be because it is hard to go all out on the box jumps without risking wiping out. Which I did during one round. After the runs RB would be saying how great I was doing by getting back after 50 seconds, and I was thinking, “damn, I used to be able to run 400m in that time”.

The l-sits were painful as always, especially after 15 minutes of running and jumping. I did the first on the rings, and failed after only 10 seconds. Although I could have gone longer had I just kept my knees up (which was allowed) … I had my legs straight and perpendicular to the ground. The other two I did on boxes. Eh, I should’ve done better.

I used my new shoes for the first time: New Balance MT10v2 Minimus Trail Running Shoe. I had wanted to get another pair of shoes I could use in the gym that would also be good for running. My Nike Free’s are wearing out and I believe I tweaked my knee while wearing them as they aren’t built for laternal stability. The more popular cross training shoes aren’t really all that great in the running department. These guys I can also use lifting, but I already have lifting shoes for serious weight. They are perfectly fine, even though I got 2E width shoes they still seem narrow. My FiveFingers are still much better overall, but they were less than ideal at jumping rope, box jumps, etc. I think the New Balance ones will be better for longer runs (over a mile), especially since I can wear socks or not with them, but we will see.
