Handstand Wall Runs Suck..

This picture is from last summer on the beach in California, trying to learn the macaco (a capoeira move).

GB WOD + Stairs:

Perform:
10 minutes of HS Wall Runs (5 minutes total, sets of 30-38 seconds, SUPER HARD)
rest 5 minutes
2x6 Wall Pike Press HS (2x6 Straddle Negatives)

Finish the workout with 2x10 Wrist Pushups

notes:
1) Spend 10 minutes performing HS Wall runs. Time spent resting DOES NOT count toward the 10 minute total. Ideally the 10 minutes of HS Wall Runs should be performed in a single set. (UM, YEAH RIGHT..)
2) Rest as necessary, but strive to keep rest to an absolute minimum. (HAD TO REST A LOT.)
3) Alternate one straight arm repetition and one 90 degree bent arm repetition during the Wall Pike Press HS sets.

ALSO:
Ran 5 sets of stairs = 1,010 steps
Stretch

Tomorrow we are having some friends over for dinner so today I made this chocolate cake (awesome website, btw) for them (of course we had some tonight with Coconut Bliss, vanilla flavor= YUM). It's not paleo, it has whole wheat pastry flour in it. I thought about changing the recipe myself and substituting almond flour instead, but I didn't want to risk messing up anything involving chocolate and real maple syrup, so I said screw it, we're cheating. It is UNREAL delicious. Instead of the frosting recipe she uses, which I'm sure is equally amazing, I opted for a non-dairy chocolate frosting (another awesome website) and subbed maple syrup for the agave nectar just to keep it consistent with the cake. HEAVEN. Good thing I ran stairs today.
