  We started the run with the intent of doing an "easy 5-miler" to recover from the weekend, but ended up running the last 2.5 miles in 16 minutes.  Oops.
  Shoulder still feels a little iffy from the TGUs a few weeks ago.  It makes me laugh a little bit, because my legs have no problem with the weight on OHS, but my shoulders don't feel like holding it.  Either way, the thrusters afterwards felt laughably easy.

  I'm fortunate because I have a workout partner for the second workouts now.  Before I was just kinda doing cardio/recovery on my own or leading people on a run... now I have a coworker who does the cardio with me but then also adds some muscular endurance stuff before and after.  I have to work on my pushups anyway, so it doesn't bother me... I just limit how much of a chest focus I have in the morning lifts.  Because I signed up for another 70.3 race in September, my lift schedule will be M-W-F, with Mondays focusing on legs and shoulders, Wednesdays focusing on hips and lower back, and Friday being whatever I feel like hitting that day.

  Also, starting to really enjoy thrusters.  I have an idea for a nasty set that I'd do Friday, but I'll be out in the field the night prior so it might have to wait until next week.

  Jumping Pistols -  tried to do the pistol, finishing with enough power to jump and land plyometrically into another pistol.  Didn't always quite work (I need to work on balance), so when I lost my balance I'd just reset and start the pistol over.
  Weighted Pistols - I alternated keeping the bar in a front and back rack position.  Front honestly felt a little more comfortable.
  Clean and Jerk set was just a finisher to see how much weight I could push at the end of a workout.

  With the track work, the intent was to rest the length of time it took to finish that interval + 1 min.  Quads felt pretty wasted but weren't required all that much to run fast on a flat surface.

  I was pretty unhappy with the snatch complexes.  I don't know what happened... maybe I just needed to warm up more... but my form was pretty ugly.  Second set I did straight through (would have been for time if I had remembered my watch).  Good smoker. 
  Pushup ladder... like a breathing ladder, but done with a buddy.  Remain in the front leaning rest position while the other person does their pushups.  You do one, he does one, you do two, he does two, etc.
