6AM CrossFit HURTS....

Once again I am pleased that I was able to get my butt out of bed and get to CrossFit for 6am. I also got my 35 burpees done before I left for the workout. I am really dreading days of 50 on the 100 days of burpees.


The BUY IN for the WOD was 1 REP Thruster.


I did 85lbs...:) Now if I could rack it then I could go higher but I was only able to clean 85lbs. THAT was my MAX for cleans as well. :) That made the 65lbs for the workout seem light.

WOD

12 Thrusters

12 SDLHP

12 Toes to Bar (mine are more like knees to elbows...or close to elbows anyways)

300 Meter Run

4 Rounds

Time: 25:16

BUY OUT: 25 PERFECT pushups.


Yup - another hard workout. I was sweating part way through the first round with the puddle starting to form...the puddle only got bigger...and bigger....


Glad that is done for the day...


Off to update my Marathon Training Blog...

Dumbell Fun?!?!?!?

This was just mean and insane....and that was with me not doing it up to par...go figure.

I'm also on day 2 of my taking control of the eating dept. I have gone back to counting calories...I get LOTS of food as I am making much better natural choices but my body is screaming for some chips or chocolate but I am going to get over that hump and lose more weight.

So - that with the following workout - yeah - it was a glorious day. haha.

WOD
300M Run
20 Hanging Squat Cleans - 25lb dumbbells

300M Run
20 Steps Overhead Lunge (used a 25lb plate - could not keep the 20lb DBs up)

300M Run
20 Sit-ups with 25lbs dumbbell (1)

300M Run
20 Man Makers - (used 20lbs dumbbells).

Time: 21:32 (I think) (still to check)


I am also caught up on my burpees for the 100 day burpee challenge. - yesterday (Day 7) I had to do 28 to catch up. this morning I did my 8 before work. I gotta keep on track or it could get ugly!!

Running behind...again

This week I haven't been good at recording my workouts but at least I have been good about going to my workouts. :)

Monday:
Ran at lunch with a girl who is a new runner. SLOW pace but nice to be outside in the sunshine. It also got the legs moving.

WOD
Deadlift - 125lbs (prescribed weight was 135 so I am almost there)
Push-ups
Toes to Bar (really?!?!? I did knees to waist in my attempts at knees to elbows - haha)
Reps of 21,15,12,9,6,3

Time: 12:40 (I think)



Wednesday:
Another run at lunch in the beautiful sunshine and heat. Slow pace but not as slow as Monday. Made the afternoon that much better.


WOD
10 KB Swings 24 kg / 16 kg
10 Chest to Bar Jumping Pull ups
8 Wall Ball 20 lbs / 12 lbs

Complete as many rounds as possible in 3 minutes

REST 2 Minutes

4 Rounds

COMPLTED REPS: 2, 2, 2, 2 ( 3 of those 2 had 9 KBs on the end - just couldn't finish it for the 1/3 to be added on).

I did the prescribed weight on it too!! Woo hoo!

Workout was tougher than it looks


Thursday:

I was excited when I looked at the website on Thursday. Hold a handstand for 1 minute ...woo hoo!! Former gymnastic days were going to pay off. I went into the gym at work and tried one against the wall (that is what you would do for the workout). I could NOT do it. I can honestly say I never feel old - age doesn't bother me - but not only did I feel FAT and out of shape but I really felt OLD. What do you mean I could not do a handstand...against a wall....Holy Crap. My good mood disappeared right away.

So off to CF I went and the fundamentals class was changed.

I was tired after our warm up:

300m Run
15 Thrusters
15 Sit-ups

300m Run
15 SDLHP
15 Push-ups

300m run
10 - Samson Stretch
10 - Back Extensions

I had time so I found a wall and DID my handstand. It felt comfortable and I was able to hold it no problem. Only problem now was it put the little bug of gymnastics in my head. I managed a kart wheel (on a line) without falling over or pulling anything) and mucked around with more handstands. I'm going to practise more at home and get better. :)

WOD

TABATA (20 seconds on - 10 seconds rest)

Thursters (65lbs)
Box Jumps (16"...one day I will move up to 20")
SDLHP (65lbs)
Sit-ups

2 rounds than 1 minute rest

Repeat 4 times.

Okay - so that is the week so far and I have to get my butt out for a tempo run this week and a 10K run this weekend - and I have to push myself on that. My race is next week and I am hoping to go sub 1 hour for my 10K. THAT is MY GOAL.
