The day after leg day...yep, that's what it feels like!  lol  I thought this would be SO appropriate today!  I admit my thighs are not as sore this morning as they were last night - they throbbed forEVER last night!  And, to top it all off - my monthly visitor arrived, but guess what?  Midol works great for throbbing thighs as well as cramps - YAY, Midol!  ha

I knew we were going to finish this week out with a bang - which for me means "run"!!!!!  Oh well, at least I was expecting it, right?  ;)

Today's CrossFit is 5 rounds of:

   Run 400 meters (1/4 mile)

   30 Box jumps, 18" box

   30 Wall ball shots, 10 lb ball

I really want to run the entire thing today (no, really...I do), so I'm going to split this in half to make sure I can do that whole running thang!  Here's how I plan to do it:

   10 rounds of:

      Run 200 meters (1/8 mile) - I know I can run this without walking or stopping

      15 Box jumps, 11" box - it's all I have

      15 wall ball shots, 4 lb ball - again...it's all I have!

I'm doing it this way because I know I can run 1/8 mile without having to walk or stop.  I know Jenni likes for us to do these as they are written, but isn't it better to run the entire thing than to walk half?  I think so!!  Now, let's just hope my legs hold up!  I'll make sure I take an aspirin (or even some Midol) beforehand!  lol

March Madness:

   40 Squats

   17 Burpees

In all honesty, I don't know that I will be able to do 40 squats or 17 burpees after today's CrossFit.  Maybe I can eke out those squats throughout the day.  I mean, they really don't take any time at all to do, right?  Y'all wish me luck with today's CrossFit....I'm gonna need it!  I got this.  I got this.  I got this.  :)

******************************
Oh...my...am I still alive?  I must be, I'm fighting for air!!!  lol  WHAT a workout!  I did not get this one in yesterday (Friday) - I'm sure those of you who read my blog already noticed that, but I did it today (Saturday)!  I am VERY proud, tired, sore - you name it, I'm there!

So, like I mentioned already, I decided to break this up into 10 segments and I also decided to run the entire thing - no walking allowed!  Which means, I stopped...a LOT...but I ran, and ran, and ran, and ran, and ran - well, you get the picture!  This was entirely a mental game for me today.  While doing the running part of round 5, I decided to get on my bike for the last 5 rounds.  However, after doing the boxjumps and wall ball for that round, I thought one more round on the treadmill.  Then, after 6 full rounds, I thought one more round then I'll get on the bike.  Well, after the 7th round, I thought "You only have two more rounds - get on the damn treadmill!"  So, that's what I did - it wasn't pretty, but I did it.  I stopped to catch my breath - a LOT - did I mention that I stopped a LOT?  lol

I'm almost embarrassed to say what my time was, but I will.  I'm not posting it on CrossFit Mamas though - it really is a terrible time, but I DID IT!!!  Are you ready?   Ya sure?  Okay...my time was 59:03.  Pretty sucky, huh?  Oh well - I did it.  I not only did it, but I ran it.  So..yay me!!  :)

My treadmill time was 15:04 - which isn't too bad and I'm sure all of you runners out there are laughing, but it really is a struggle for me to run.  I did all rounds of box jumps and wall ball shots without stopping, except for the two times I almost busted it on the box jumps.  Box jumps are SO much better than before.  I still remember only being able to do 4 or 5 before I'd have to stop and catch my breath, so doing 15 each round without stopping is a big deal.  However, it really makes my total time look bad.  Oh well - it is what it is.  The important thing is I did it - I didn't walk ANY!  I would have had a much better time if I had walked, though.  Oh well - it's done and I'm happy.  :)  Tired, but happy!
