Thanksgiving 5k
-20:33 (6:35 mile pace) watch time ... don't have the chip time yet, but the clock was right around 20:30 as I rolled through the finish line. Overall a great race, didn't push anything too hard, this is the second run I've been on since the marathon, overall enjoyed myself. My time last year on this course was 22:05 (7:07 mile pace). Much less perceived effort and ran much faster this year ... Great way to start the day. I've been very consistent over the last few years ... most of my 5ks have been around 20:30 with the exception of last year (when I was just Olympic weightlifting at the time).

Today was an okay workout... didn't have much energy or desire to get in the gym, forced myself and knocked out what I could. Life/work stress has been 10/10. In retrospect I am glad to have gotten at least something in ... I cut out the conditioning piece, which was part D... maybe will get it in another day.

400m Run
20 Burpee Box Jumps (24/20")
150 Foot Handstand Walk (6 increments of 25')
5 Ring Muscle-ups
*25:00 Cap
-Result = 2 Rounds + 20 BBJ ... 300 feet of handstand walking was a ton... getting this done in under 25:00 was just not a possibility for me. Everything else done at a consistent pace and the muscle-ups easily unbroken ... just getting through that much distance on my hands was difficult ... this is the third time I've handstand walked since February ... overall this is good training for me, despite not performing well (i.e. not finishing within the time cap)
E) Turkish Get Up
3/arm - unbroken; rest as needed x 4sets/arm
-Complete, used a 35# across

Active Recovery Day
6 Mile Hike with a 20# pack ... this was the easiest Marine Corps Hike I've ever been on ... in previous trainings I would use a 100#+ pack and carry a machine gun ... today's hike was chill as hell ... fun way to get out of the office and spend some time with my fellow Marines... albeit a bit embarrassing, out of an entire Battalion doing this hike no one fell out... which tells me this was not nearly challenging enough and this BN CO needs to push his people more the next time we do anything like this. Anyway, fun morning, looking forward to lifting tomorrow.

Today was a decent workout... got to sleep in today, which was awesome. Worked out over lunch and had a good time. Tempo work continues to kick my ass ... overall enjoyed this, got a big pump out of this, especially the last little conditioning piece, the tempo ring push-ups coupled with the bear crawl gave me a massive chest/shoulder/tricep pump, fun stuff.
