Today is a holiday, but I'm glad that didn't stop us from working out this morning.  We were able to sleep in a little and go in at 6:30, which was a nice feeling!

10 pull ups
10 thrusters
10 bar over burpees
200m run

3 rounds

Cool Down:
10 tricep dips
8 push ups
15 mountain climbers
55 sit ups
65 crunches
33 leg raises
42 sec. plank
100 squats

I'm not sure what it was about today...if it was the fact that I was getting over being sick, the nature of the day or what, but today was a rough WOD for me.  The frustrating part about that is that in truth it wasn't a difficult WOD.  One that I have covered many times.  Anyway, by the end of the WOD today I felt like I was going to pass out and my lungs were burning.  I coughed for a good 30 minutes after the workout because my lungs felt burnt.  Thank goodness there's always tomorrow to try again! :)
