Just another day at the bar. :) Kinda says it all, doesn't it? Well, I knew it was too good to be true, but my thighs are sore again. I at least had a couple of days of non-soreness, so I should be good to go! lol My shoulders are ridiculously sore today as well. Whenever I raise my arms, my shoulders are screaming at me to stop! I am surprised my abs aren't very sore considering how I felt them with every movement I made last night, but that's okay. I can only take so much soreness. I did not need any aspirin last night, but I did wake up in the middle of the night with throbbing thighs, but lucky for me I went right back to sleep without having to get up.
Today's CrossFit is for time, 10 rounds of:
15 Deadlifts w/40-60 lbs
15 CrossFit sit-ups
April Challenge:
Wallsit for 40 seconds
I will do something on the treadmill as well. It all depends on how long it takes me to do today's workout on what exactly I will do - whether it's a pre-programmed workout (which always takes 30 minutes) or just a run/walk combo kinda deal. I'll figure it out when I go upstairs. :)
******************************
16:28 as RX'D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was shooting for 15 minutes, but I'm happy with my time. I was doing really well until the 8th round of deadlifts - those got to me - as well as the 9th and 10th rounds. I used 50 lbs for the deadlifts (it's the most weight I have). I thought about dropping it to 44 lbs while doing the 8th round, but told myself to suck it up and get over myself! My sit-ups were great! What slowed me down was laying down to do sit-ups after the 8th round of deadlifts and I just kind of laid there to recover! Same thing with the 9th round of sit-ups - but the I just got with it on the 10th round since it was the last one! Note to self - NOT a good idea to lay in the floor while doing a tough workout - even if it IS for sit-ups! I would have made my goal if not for that. Oh well...I did it...as RX'D!! Woot-woot!!
I didn't want to get on the "damn" treadmill, but forced myself. And, let me tell you, it was pretty funny. I got all tangled up in the mat I lay on for sit-ups, then I got my feet out from under that only to get tangled in the towel I lay down on top of the mat! I use a towel because my back is so sweaty and it just feels icky to lay on the mat without a towel. I usually just wear an exercise bra when working out. Oh, and shorts or yoga pants - I do wear pants! ;) Anyway, I got on the treadmill and covered up the display and ran at 4.2 speed until I was at my "can't catch my breath, am I turning blue?" point. I stopped the treadmill and uncovered the display. I had only ran 12 blocks which in itself isn't too impressive, but then I looked at the time and was EXTREMELY glad to see my time! Before, when I would run at 5.3 speed, I could only go 8 blocks - so 12 IS an improvement - and it would take me 1:34 to run those 8 blocks at that speed. Well, I ran for 2:07! So THAT is a good thing - I ran 33 seconds longer than before! YAY improvement! :) I started walking at 3.0 speed for 2 blocks, then went back to 4.2 speed and ran until I hit 1/4 mile. My total treadmill time was 3:48. I'm going to try to get on my treadmill a little bit every day (except the weekends). I know I've said it before, but I really, really, really mean it this time! lol
No wall-sitting today. I was going to. I even got into the position to do it, but my thighs said "Nope! No way!" So, I stood up and let them have their way today. :)
