The ability to run the extra mile lies in between your ears. Keep going.
I really need to remember this today because...yep...it's a run day. Again! I think Jenni is trying to kill me. Maybe I should put Kanye in my I-Pod today - what doesn't kill me, only makes me stronger! Well, I shouldn't complain too much, I mean - I wanted to be a runner, right?
Today's CrossFit workout:
3 rounds -
Run 800 meters (.497/mile)
20 situps
12 thrusters w/20 lbs
March Madness workout:
15 squats
11 burpees
*extra for me* 11 situps
My plan is to start my run doing the 5k training exercise thing - run 1 minute/walk 1 minute. I'm hoping to do this every round, but I will definitely do it on the first round. I discovered yesterday that doing it this way makes me run 6 blocks and walk 3 blocks and I can get 2 of these done in 1/4 mile, so 4 in a 1/2 mile. It's just WAY harder running, but like I said earlier, I will definitely do this for the first round. For the 5k training, you're supposed to do this 8 times, so it would be awesome if I could do this for at least 2 rounds. I'm going to try, so y'all wish me luck!
I'm not worried about doing the situps and thrusters - it's not too many of both and I know I can handle that! March Madness doesn't look too bad either, except for the burpees and those are ALWAYS hard after running, but...oh well...I'll get over that as well!
******************************
32:07 - Not bad (for me anyway), but I had set a personal goal of 30 minutes, so...I missed it, obviously! But! I DID IT!!! Honey-Buns said my face was red after doing my workout on Tuesday, well, it's even redder today! Oh my goodness, am I tired!!
I did not do the run 1 minute/walk 1 minute, but this is what I did instead: run 8/walk 8, run 6/walk 6, run 4 - then I was at the 1/2 mile point. I did the same thing on round 2. I was ready to give up by the 3rd round, but I forced myself to get back on that DAMN TREADMILL! I ran 5/walked 5, ran 4/walked 2, ran 4/walked 4, ran 4/walked 4 on that last round. All in all, I ran more than I walked (53 blocks out of 96) and that is a goal of mine, so I did accomplish something! I would hurry up to get in situp position, but I was so winded I would just lay there for a minute or two (not nearly long enough!) to catch my breath before doing my situps. I had no trouble doing 20 situps or thrusters each round. That's a good thing!n I used 24# on thrusters and did not have any problems. So, yay!
I am so proud that I completed this workout today, but I hope like hell we do NOT run tomorrow! I was sweating so much that even my knees were sweating! My workout pants were so wet - and it wasn't from tinkling myself either! lol
I also completed the March Madness workout. I debated whether or not to count the squatting from doing thrusters against today's Madness, but chose not to. Very proud I made myself do 15 more squats and thought how bad can 11 burpees be? Well, all I can say is thank goodness I wasn't timing myself on those! I am D-O-N-E for the day! DONE! ;)
