Not a big fan of the WOD today. The last two times we have done Burpees I had really made progress. Today my hips were uncased in cement and I had a really hard time moving. This is the type of morning where I would really just like to walk out the door but I just keep moving to get the WOD done.

This morning I tried working on a new movement to loosen up my hips but could not even do the movement that was suppose to help me loosen them up.

The good news was that yesterdays deadlifts did not hurt my back. My back has been feeling great for several months.

I did find a video that is helping me with my Turkish Get Up. This guy loves them so much he does them on his beer run. He really sticks to it and never gives up.

Turkish Get Up Modification from KettleBell Guy on Vimeo.

Watching this guy makes me feel much better about my own Turkish Get Ups.

Eating—On track

What hurts today—Right elbow was much worse this morning. I am out of the pull up business for a while. Hips were really tight. With the elbow and hips I hardly noticed my heel hurting at all.
