This took me a lot longer than it should. I have never really been good at training in the AM. It's not because I don't want to, its just that my schedule for the past years has logistically made it easier for me to train in the evening. That is a gap in my fitness that I need to remedy. The 400m sprint in the beginning took a lot more out of me than I expected. Surprisingly, the hardest part was the air squats. I will progress this one and reduce the time for sure. My nutrition for the morning was pretty good. I tried a new meal that I am still experimenting with for breakfast. Egg Beaters with salsa and lentils, all mixed in a bowl. It was good but I'm not sure how it will work for training purposes.

1730:

Snatches w/ 24kg Kettlebell

5+5 at top of minute for 15 minutes

I did this one with Kris. He did 15 swings at the top while I did snatches. It was a pretty good session. For the first ten sets my rep speed was off the chart. I was getting the 10 snatches with a hand switch in about 22 seconds. The last five sets the speed slowed to about 30 seconds per, but I was happy with the initial rep speed. Overall, a good training session. My nutrition prior was a turkey bacon sandwich from Starbucks a few hours after lunch of a bagel sandwich. Followed this up with dinner of shredded beef cheesesteak sandwiches (the quality beef, not SteakUmms). I will work to increase the number of minutes and then the number of reps per minute with this workout.

After class at about 1415:

Run 500m - 2:06

Deadlift
3x335/3, 1x345/1

That's it. The gym was crowded and for whatever reason I wasn't feeling it. Maybe it was the early morning to class and the 5 hours of sleep. Nutrition for the day was OK, but not awesome because I got hungry more than I should have. Went out at night and had two beers, which is OK but overall not conducive to training goals.
