I Just Got Beat By A Girl

Another good week of training (I think).  On Wednesday I did my weekly track workout with Cathy.  This week we switched it up doing a bit more anaerobic training - 16 x 200 meters with a 60 second rest.    We quickly settled in to 32 seconds per 200 meters. I felt pretty uncomfortable after only a few reps, but held tough because I wasn't going to let a girl beat me.  Cathy and I have been training together since the age of 15, even back then she could beat me at sprints!   By the 8th rep I was hurting pretty bad I told her I was about to quit.  Cathy told me to suck it up, I held on for another 4 reps before calling it a day.  Cathy did an extra two reps for a total of 14 x 200 meters.  

Monday
CrossFit  5 x 5 reps of back squat.
I had completed this workout the previous week.  I increased my weight to 115LB.  I feel I can  do a lot more but I'm not sure the trade off of being sore is worth it.
