Running and Push ups and other stuff

So, last night was 100 push up for time. I didn't even try to keep time. I haven't done a solid push up in years and last night was no exception. I did well, I started out with my knees down and my body in the plank position. That lasted for about 20, then it was the hand and knees on and off for the rest. I'm glad I finished it out. My arms were on fire when I was finished.
The other day we had to run 400m then do 50 lunges, then do it again. This was probably the toughest on the legs so far. 50 lunges doesn't seem like a lot but followed by running 400m is a different story. We went to the track for this one since its easier to measure distance. Again, I can't say enough how grateful I am for Carlas support and her participating with me. It gives me the extra push I need sometimes.
Carla and I were talking, in general, about this particular cycle that we are doing. I am impressed how well its sets up and how well its seems to work with my body and proper healing. They exercises are set up so you aren't putting too much on any particular muscle group. As soon as that body part seems to be over worked, it switches and focuses on another body part. The rest days are set up well enough and are timed just right so you feel that you had a proper amount of rest before you start the next cycle. Over all I couldn't be happier with this workout and crossfit in general.
Today is 4 rounds for time for 15burpees, 25 squats, 35 situps. Giddy up!
