Back to a much needed routine...

It was great to get back to work today - I need to get back to a routine - even if it means not lounging around at home watching TV instead of working.


I am trying to get back in the ZONE today but we went out for lunch for someone's birthday and I blew it. I enjoyed myself but hey - last time. Tomorrow I am totally in the ZONE for the rest of the week. (now it is in writing!!)

The workout was hard today but I thought I would try doing 80 lbs for the push presses but Jason said with the number of reps I should lower to 75lbs. Imagine that - HE is telling me to reduce the weight. THAT never happens. But he was right. 75lbs was tough and I had to break up the last two sets of push presses for a little break. 5 and 5 and then 6and 4. But I got it done and not too bad of a time either. Woo Hoo!

WOD

5 Ring Dips

10 Push Press (75lbs)

15 Box Jumps (16")

20 Sit ups

4 Rounds

Time: 12:43

The following is what Jason posted on the Crossfit Website about the updcoming New Years Day workout...

I was getting lots of question this year about our annual SEASONS BEATINGS workout. Is it a partner workout like last year? Is it 2010 reps this year? , etc. Well this year it is all about TABATA. Tabata is the interval workout where the work interval is 20 seconds and the rest interval is 10 seconds, for a total of 8 rounds or 4 minutes. 20-10 perfect!!! Now a normal TABATA workout is 4 or 5 seperate moves put together in a 15 or 20 minute workout. This workout is anything but normal!!!!

Whe we arrived we found out what the WOD was going to be:
