Too Many Burpees

Monday's Workout

Ran 440 yds @ 6.0 mph (~2:30)

7 circuits of:
Burpees x 7 in one minute (sort of)
(49 total)

3 circuits of:
Long Crunch x 20
Russian Twists x 20 @ 15#
Plank x 30 secs.
Cat Vomit x 30 sec.

Ran 440 yds @ 6.0 mph (~2:30)

As close as I have come to not finishing a workout. The Burpees took about 7 1/2 to 8 minutes to finally finish. Finishing the last run took a little willpower as well. I got a little wobbly on the treadmill, but I managed not to go down.
