Notes:
Had a hard time getting into this one this morning. Not sure what the deal was, but I felt like I was just surviving it...moving through the motions. The first set of 285 was pretty tough on the 3rd rep. Went to do it again and when I dropped into the hole on the first rep I did not have the mental or physical fortitude to drive out of it. Dropped to 275 and got it twice and started to do the 3rd rep and decided to rack it. Hips were tight, mind wasn't right, decided to cut my losses and do some lighter work sets and focus on staying tight and getting into the hole.

Burpees and SDLHPs were rushed due to the fact that we drug our feet and got started pretty late. Only recovered about 1:30 between the first 3-4 sets and then 60 sec for the rest.

Looking forward to a rest day today. Going 5 days on with an extra 3-4 mile run in there has me feeling pretty ran down. Need to stretch and get my hips loosened up again before next week.
