I clean, I jerk, and I have a nice snatch! This is funny to me! Wrong, but funny!! I admit...I would NEVER wear this shirt, but it's still kinda cute!
Well, I'm not sore from yesterday - that's a good thing! There's no running today - that's a better thing! I am going to run today, though. It's not going to get better by itself, is it? I don't know how far I will run, but I'm throwing in some kind of running. I will also cover up the display - that actually seemed to work. I'm not just staring at the blinking blocks waiting for more to light up, nor am I staring at the time thinking "almost done". I will be a happy, happy, happy little girl when I can run 1/4 mile without stopping! Then I'll have to change my goal to something farther. Don't get me wrong - I'm happy that I've done the running segments without walking, I'm just not happy that I have to stop so much. Why can't I breathe while I run???? Weirdness - that's why. I'll get there - slowly, but surely - I'll get there.
Today's CrossFit is from the Challenge, but with a modification for us Mamas:
As many rounds as possible in 12 minutes of:
150 Wall ball shots w/10# ball
90 Jump rope
30 Pull-ups (assisted are okay)
Your score is the total number of reps. Looks fun - hard, but fun! Just the way I like it!! lol
March Madness:
55 Squats
25 Burpees
*extra for me* 55 Sit-ups
******************************
255 - total score - WOOOOOO-HOOOOOO!! SO surprised by this! lol Wall ball shots KILLED my arms and thighs!! I didn't think I'd be able to "turn" the jump rope and am even more surprised I finished the jump rope segment! I kicked off my shoes and just had on footies for jumping rope. That helps tremendously and am happy with my improvement jumping - I actually jumped 20 times without tripping! That's a new high for me!! I had 48 seconds left after jumping rope, so I went ahead and started on pull-ups, but I chose to do reverse pull-ups using my treadmill. I was able to get 15 pull-ups in before the timer went off. VERY happy with today's workout!!
150 Wall ball shots w/4 lb ball - I canNOT imagine doing this many with a heavier ball. These got VERY hard around 80. lol
90 Jump rope
15 reverse pull-ups
I did 55 sit-ups and was hoping (really hard) my son would have been here so I could convince myself to leave the room so he could use the treadmill and I would not have to do burpees, but...that didn't happen. I started on burpees - here's a tip - you cannot do burpees wearing footies, at least not on carpet. I went down and it felt like I was doing the Fred Flintstone movement with my feet trying to get a grip to get back up! I had to stop and take off my footies so I could continue. I even did the burpees the correct way - with the little hop on the end - and I have to say my burpees have even improved! Doing 25 burpees today seemed WAY easier than when I struggled through 17 the last time I did them. I love progress!!! :) I chose not to do 55 squats from the Madness workout because I felt like I squatted 150 times with wall ball shots! THAT was plenty for me! :)

It's a hard one. I did it on Sunday with a 14 lb ball aimed at a 9 ft target and only managed to get 100 in 10 mins. In my defense, my ball is homemade, from a soccer. It was all I could do to squeeze enough sand in to make it 14 lbs and it was like throwing and catching a rock!! It was awful. I wish I had the proper medicine ball that the other people used... Oh well, it was really pretty funny!
ReplyDeleteI doubt I'd have done a lot better but I think I could have at least finished the 150 wall balls... :)
Next year!
Have a great day!
On a side note... Gina and I and two other friends are going to Boston tomorrow to see PINK in concert on Thursday night! A 4 day road trip... we are soooo frickin excited!! It's kind of a once in a lifetime thing for us! We'll have a drink for you while we are there ;)
