400meter march

today's workout sounded pretty simple but it was a great challenge in many subtle ways.

400M lunge walk with 25db in each hand stopping to do 5 push presses after every 10 lunges. Shoulders hurt from push presses, forearms hurt from holding 25lbs for half an hour in each hand. Legs hurt from lunging. Mind hurt from wondering if i'd get through it. I'm really curious to see how i feel tomorrow. It wasn't heavy weight so it may be one of those where i'm surprised about how sore i am. We'll see. i think i'll do FGB tomorrow with adjusted expectations that i might be worthless. i'm mainly looking at FGB as a chance to burn some cupcake and burger calories. A good buddy of mine told me that his wife asked if he had a thyroid problem and said she was worried about him. He said it almost made him cry since he thinks she was trying to imply that he got fat. If she framed it as genuine concern for a possible medical condition, it doesnt sound as bad as telling him he eats too much. I told Melissa that if I start getting fat from my new burger addiction or my competitive cupcake eating just to stop me and say "Sean, you're fat" and not to ask if i have a thyroid problem. Ever since i've been doing these intense workouts, i can't seem to satisfy my hunger and protein craving. I'd love to do a few day cleanse some time before the marathon. i may have to take a burger and burrito sabatical soon to lose some weight before the marathon. we'll see. i could do the lettuce burgers that crossfit portland was talking about. that doesnt sound so bad.
