My version of a rest day

Great day so far. Went to Crossfit and did deadlifts. I'm pretty sure I reached my one-rep max. I couldn't have done two, but the workout only called for one and so I was good.

Then we did an AMRAP (As Many Rounds As Possible) in fifteen minutes (I only did ten minutes because I needed to be to work a little early - truthfully, I needed to be to work on time) of ten kettlebell swings, ten box jumps and ten dips. I got in five rounds, which seemed like enough for anyone.

Time has passed since I wrote the above paragraph this morning.

I thought DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) showed up the day following the exercise. I can feel those fifty box jumps and fifty KBS and fifty dips. Oh, yes, I can.

I still went for my minimum run this still-hot evening. I didn't warm up in advance, but I did go on a route that begins downhill slightly. It was an OK run. Maybe I am past the dead leg interlude. Tomorrow will tell as my Thursday route is pretty tough. I'm not sure whether I will do it 3-1. I've done this run many, many times just running it. We'll see how I feel after my first swim in a while.
