No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress, you are still way ahead of everyone who isn't trying. I tell myself this...a LOT! I get so discouraged sometimes when I see what my time was, or like yesterday - if I can't complete a run. I just keep going and try not to quit altogether. I figure it's good to keep walking instead of just stopping, but man - I was so disappointed yesterday. The only good thing was the sweating - yes, I said sweating. I'm not sure why, but whenever I get a good sweat going, I feel like I accomplished something! Even though I didn't run all of my 400 meters yesterday, I was sweating like a mad man and that made me feel okay. Good news (I think) is that I can try to do better today because...yup, the Mamas are doing "Nancy"! Wait...that just sounds wrong, doesn't it? lol :)
CrossFit Mamas:
"Nancy"
5 Rounds for Time -
- Run 400 meters
- 15 Front squats w/40 lbs
Brand X:
Puppy Dawgs -
15-12-9
Hand release push-ups
Pull-ups (assisted as needed)
I had to look up a video for hand-release push-ups. I have to say, they're not what I thought they were, so I'm glad I looked it up. I thought they were where you did a push-up and then while "up" you picked up your hands, but no...you do a push-up, then when you go all the way down to the floor (like a burpee) and pick your hands up while laying on the floor, then put your hands back onto the floor and go back into a push-up. These are also called CrossFit push-ups - who knew? I did not see any variations for "girl" push-ups, however, but I'm going to try these anyway. Who knows? Maybe I can do them and just didn't know because I don't ever try 'em!!
I plan on doing "Nancy" Mamas-style today, and according to how I feel afterwards, I may or may not do Brand X as well. Wish me luck - I'm gonna need it!!! ;)
