21-15-9
I kept my promise to be in the gym 4-5X last week. The commitment to eating clean will commence when I return from Synod Youth Workshop next week. I refuse to endure a shopping trip for food that I will not have the opportunity to consume. This week I've worked out once, logged below, I have plans for today, tomorrow, and Saturday before I leave for SYW. I have plans for 3-4 "home WODs" while at SYW to stay on schedule. :) Now on to yesterday's torture!
Wednesday's WOD at CrossFitFTW was brutal. When I saw it posted on the website (along with my before and after pics :-) ) I knew it was going to be brutal.
800 meter run
21-15-9
push press (RX 125m/75f)-65#
pull ups -blue band
800 meter run
Now the 21-15-9 was a shoulder burnout like nothing I've felt before. It alone would have been a great workout. But adding the running made it especially challenging. Especially for me. Running is my nemesis. I hate everything about it. I lack that mental....thing necessary to keep pushing, to keep moving. In 18months of crossfitting, my running has only improved slightly simply because I hate it so much. I hate it so much that I don't care to improve it. At all. Period. I'll do it in a WOD if programmed as such, but I VERY rarely ever do it on my own. Running is not my idea of fun. That's why I crossfit for fitness. Anyway, back to the WOD. My goal was to not be dead last... and if I was dead last (seeing as how the WOD ended with a run) my goal was to finish in less that 25min. I did it! I wasn't last...I was next to last, and my time was 23 something! Pete beat me by almost 10min which is just a testament to his beastliness and not my suckiness. I was pretty proud of my self. I might have been able to do the RX'd weight of 75# but then I definitely would have been last and over MY 25min deadline. D said I didn't seem as winded as I have in the past. He seems to think that my aerobic capacity is improving. Maybe it is. I don't know. It's slow going in that department. My arms, shoulders, traps, and lats are very, very sore today. Thursday's WOD is up. Cleans! My favorite...when I'm not sore. My traps hate me already! It hurts so good!
On an unrelated note... as soon as the hubs and I buy some more storage for our hard drive, I will try to start adding pics to the blog. Our memory is maxed out so I haven't been taking any new pics since I have no place to save them.
