Amazing things rarely happen in your comfort zone. True! Here's to something amazing happening today because I am definitely NOT in my comfort zone with today's workout! lol Can you guess? Burpees or running? Hmmm....looks like running. And not a little running, but a LOT of running! I guess it could be worse - Jenni could have made us run a 10k like we had to do in January, so I'm not going to complain. Much! :)
Today's CrossFit:
Run 2 miles (!)
Rest 2 minutes
20 squat cleans w/20-30 lbs
20 box jumps, 18" box
20 walking lunges
20 box jumps, 18" box
20 squat cleans w/20-30 lbs
Rest 2 minutes
Run 2 miles (!)
Today's March Madness:
25 squats
10 burpees
*extra for me* 25 sit-ups
Right now, I don't think I'll do the March Madness, but who knows? I might change my mind by the time I get upstairs - or I might do it this morning. I don't know. I hate to say I'm NOT going to do something, so I take it all back. ;) Hey! It's my prerogative to change my mind!
I will say that I have discovered it's the burpees that are making me so sore in my ribcage area. I'm not as sore as I was last week, but I can definitely feel that part of my body! And, can someone tell me if I'll EVER have a day of no sore thighs? It seems like they are ALWAYS sore!! Not when I'm walking, but whenever I go to stand up from a sitting position I can feel them. It's worse at night (of course, after sitting for a bit after working out) and in the mornings. Oh, and going upstairs at ANY time throughout the day. Always sore. Oh well, I guess I'll just live with it. It doesn't keep me from doing anything and usually goes away the more I move around - but dang! It's just nervy.
Well, y'all wish me luck today! I'm going to try to keep Jenni's picture/quote in mind today - It's not how good you are, but how bad you want it. Well, I'm not going to stop now - I've put in too much work and it's part of my routine now. :)
******************************
Wow! I am sweating like crazy right now! 24:51 total - BUT let me just start off by saying - I MAJORLY modified this today. My meeting with my company's accountant went longer than I thought it would, so I did not have a lot time for this today. I was going to cut the runs in half, but actually only did one running segment.
:(
I did my run 8/walk 8, 6/6, 4/4, 2/2. I was at .62/mile at that point. I then ran 4/walked 4 until I reached the 1 mile mark. My treadmill time was 14:19.
I then did the exercises, except I did hang squat cleans with 31 lbs. since I use dumbbells. I tried doing just squat cleans, but that was very awkward - so that's why I switched it to the hang squat cleans. Box jumps were with an 11" box - no troubles. As much as I've said I need to invest in a taller box, I am so glad I didn't have one today! Lunges were okay - I actually went deeper than I ever have before. I can go at a diagonal in my "gym" and take 4 walking lunge steps across the room. It's very boring just going back and forth, but that's how I do it. My time for these exercises was 10:32 - not bad!
I just could not/did not/would not get back on the treadmill today. I'm glad I ran out of time - that sounds bad, doesn't it? Hopefully I will make up the missed mile sometime this week. I have noticed an improvement in my running though and I actually bumped up to 5.3 speed (from 5.2), so that's a good thing! I kinda felt like I was running slow, but didn't want to get too crazy and kick it up too far!!
No March Madness today - no time.
