    Woke up at 11:15 got about 9 hours of sleep. Definitely loved having this 4 day weekend. Back to work tomorrow though.

    Over all this was a good workout. I was pretty happy with my Deadlift pulls, I probably could have gone a little heavier at for my last set, but I didn't really space out my jumps well enough, and didn't want to jump more than 20#. For the WOD, the Power Cleans were tough for me, was having trouble with wrist flexibility, and actually caught somewhere between 8 & 10 with either 1 or no hands on the bar in the rack position, definitely was an experience.

Overall I felt good today. There were times when I felt like my energy was low, specifically around midmorning about 9-10 and also around 2:30, the end of the school day. I think that this low energy level could be attributed to 7 hours of sleep last night. I will aim to get more tonight. Food went well, and I am looking forward to eating Paleo again and seeing the changes in my body.
