The Gimp and Taper Wod

First... Tim and I headed out last night to Cafe Berlin, only to be reminded by the sign when we got there that they are closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. After a quick u-turn, we headed off to Plan B, Vienna Cafe. And that actually turned out to be the better choice!

For some reason, all of the food was especially tasty today. While Tim had the usual salad, I opted for the delicious potato leek soup. For dinner, we both had the wiener schnitzel. I know... not low fat, not necessarily healthy, but incredibly delicious! The roasted carrots were perfect - not too soft, not too hard. The lyonnaise potatoes were crispy. The weiner schnitzel also had a nice crispness to it. Top that off with Tim's weiss beer (I had a sip), and all was wonderful!

Today, Dawn and I headed to the Dammit Gym not knowing what our workout was going to be. I'm still limited with my healing knee and Dawn is tapering for her half ironman next weekend. DL came up with a nice wod for us, which I have named the "Gimp/Taper WOD".

4 rounds for time of

400m run

30x push press @35#

20x pull-ups

Dawn did jumping pull-ups. I had to use the blue band because jumping just wasn't an option with the knee, until DL took away my box for someone else and replaced it with the tall box. Then, I did my last 10 pull-ups jumping style. I finished in 20:32. Dawn was 20:20.

I've got another massage today during which Travis will also do his "lymph drainage" to get rid of some of the fluid. I expect to be pretty much as good as new after that... if only I can keep it that way.
