My body felt beat up after this weekend, which was a beautiful Easter weekend with family. I feel like I haven't been training as much as I want, but looking back the burpees were relentless and my legs felt like jello. I quit the burpee war, which is unfortunate since I was really enjoying it, but I need to put the focus on running right now. The other thing I did this weekend was swing, carry, lift, and otherwise play with four 30-40 pound kids clamoring for more. So I overdid it in general, and felt it on Monday. At some point the goal will be to be able to do the burpees and swinging of children without feeling like I overdid it, but I'm clearly not there yet. Another goal!
This is actually a good week to take it easy, since I am working a lot and wouldn't have been able to work out properly anyways. So, I'll do some stretching and yoga, and come back strong the following week.
3 days ago: 20 burpees, run 4.5 miles
2 days ago: 21 burpees, run 4 miles
yesterday: rest
today: rest / stretch

Don't beat yourself up over it. Kick some ass @ the marathon and we'll burpee war again ... err ... maybe in a year. Actually, maybe never. The burpee war kinda' sucks.
