When your legs ache, your body burns, and there's sweat all over - you know you're doing something right. Don't give up! This will be my mantra today! Well, this and "You ran 2 miles on Monday, you can do 1.25 today!" :) Yes, I said it - that nasty, nasty word...run. I knew it was coming, so I'm prepared to do it!
Today's CrossFit:
5 Rounds of:
Run 400 meters (1/4 mile)
30 Box Jumps w/18" box
30 Wall Ball Shots w/10# ball
Can't wait to get this one over with! I don't know about you guys, but I am SO glad it's Friday!!! We had a lot of rain/storms come through last night, so our pollen count won't be so bad today. It was 8000+ yesterday!! You could see the pollen blowing in the air - it was crazy. Next week is Spring Break for Hayley, so that will be fun!
Y'all wish me luck with today's run.
******************************
Sorry - I had the WORST headache yesterday. Between the pollen and the PMS, I was in so much pain yesterday. If I'm not able to fit this in today, I'll do it tomorrow. :)
So...someone at CrossFit Mamas asked if we just did this workout, so I looked through my "journal" and sure enough - we did this on March 22nd. Apparently it took me 59:03 to complete on March 22nd because I didn't walk at all - just ran and stopped for breaks when I was tired. My total treadmill time then was 15:04. Well - I chose to do short walking breaks today instead of completely stopping. My time today was 46:09 (13 minutes faster!) and my total treadmill time was 19:42. BUT! Good, awesome, GREAT news!! I decided to run as long as I could during my first round and told myself I was not stopping until the song on my Ipod was finished and guess what? I ran 17 blocks!! That's a quarter of a mile, plus 1 block! I couldn't believe it! I came running out of my exercise room to tell Honey-Buns I ran an entire 1/4 mile withOUT stopping!! So, I would have had a better time if not for my mini celebration, but it's okay! I was just thrilled with myself!! :) I covered up the display every run segment and just ran as long as I could, then I'd walk for a couple of blocks and start running some more. My running got worse (consecutive blocks running), but my box jumps got better. Go figure. I started off doing 6-8 box jumps at a time, then I'd have to stop and breathe a couple of deep breaths up until the third round. For the third, fourth, and fifth rounds I was doing 10 box jumps at a time before having to stop to catch my breath. Normally I love wall-ball shots, but today I just wasn't feeling it. I was so ready for those to be done! Anyway - I didn't want to workout but made myself because I knew it was a hard workout (for some reason those are the easiest ones to talk yourself out of doing!), but I'm really glad I did it. :)
Treadmill breakdown:
Round 1 - ran 16, walked 0 - time 3:37 :)
Round 2 - ran 11, walked 2, ran 3 - time on treadmil 7:32 (3:55)
Round 3 - walked 2, ran 6, walked 2, ran 6 - time on treadmill 11:29 (3:57)
Round 4 - walked 2, ran 8, walked 3, ran 3 - time on treadmill 15:27 (3:58)
Round 5 - ran 5, walked 3, ran 5, walked 2, ran 1 - time on treadmill 19:42 (4:15)
SO hard! :)
