Okay - today was decided about on Saturday. Sunday I logged in and registered for Today's Fundamentals class.
Yup - no turning back - so there I was after work. Dawn was there with Owen already and warming up - Ruth had a welcoming hug and I was thinking - yeah - it's nice to be back...I should leave.
Today's workout was good - which means could do the moves...haha - they have been introducing crazy crap to the workouts over the 4 months I have been missing and there is no way I can do some of that sh*t. Maybe one day...or not.
Today's WOD
Squat Cleans
Pull-ups
21-15-9 for time
Time: 11:30
I used 50lbs - not bad and it was tough. LIght headed tough but I kept going.
The pull ups are a joke. I used the bands but so would anyone else who had to pull up me.
All was good and I was pleased with myself.
It was funny - I realized I missed CrossFit while I was prepping my bar for the workout. I could have gone lighter (yes 50lbs is light compared to what I was lifting before) but I picked a weight that was going to be challenging at it was. The second round was the worst.
So - I survived and I will see how sore I am tomorrow.

It's been a week....
Okay - so I have sucked lately and did not go to CrossFit. I have officially started training for my Marathon which really means - I am running now. With that and teaching the 5K clinic I am doing LOTS of running even thought the clinic runs are slower than my usual pace. I try to keep intervals in by running between the first and the last person every so often so that changes it up.
Friday morning I was way too tired (from the fun day of golf) to get up for the 6am workout. Good thing since people were having issues walking a few days later.
I have to figure out how to make crossfit stay a benefit to my running without falling into over-training and potentially causing injury. Right now is good since the long runs are only 10K, 12K etc. Mid July they start picking up and I will have to continue to do my Sunday morning 3-6K runs so it does add up.
This morning I thought about staying in bed a little longer but got my butt out of bed instead. Last night's tempo run beat me up and my hams and butt were actually tight this morning.
6Am is early and you defiantly can't go in and lift the weights you do in the evenings. I have to remember that and not get discouraged when I feel I am lifting light but deep down know i would have trouble at higher weights.
WOD
10 Squat Cleans
15 Box Jumps (16")
10 Ring Rows
4 Rounds
Time: 12:43...(I think)
(I wimped at 55lbs - I was tired and also protecting my knees)
It was a nice short workout and dthat was a good thing today.
maybe I will make it Thursday or Friday morning....
Running again tonight.....
Check out my blog that I am doing for my Journey to Marathon #5!! It will bore you to tears but it will be a nice record for me to go back and read.

Hump Day....
WOD
At the start of every minute complete 10 sit-ups.
For the remainder of the minute complete:
25 Squat Cleans (65lbs)
25 Pull-ups (purple band and thin black band)
25 Push Jerks
Time: 11:43
That was one tough workout. I was able to lift the weight for the squat cleans but they were slow. On the positive side - I did get good squats with the weight.
The pull-ups were a disaster but I used less bands and had to work harder.
Push Jerks are my favorite thing so far and I find them easy to do. I was feeling the weight by the end though.
I felt great after - well - after the wanting to puke feeling left me. Tough, fast workouts with heavy weights are my favorite. :)
Gotta go for my run...
I finally made it to the gym around 7:40pm. I really didn't want to run but I know I need to get my mileage in if I am going to succeed at ATB.
I figured I would do 6K easy as that is what my schedule called for but then once I started running I felt good and started to crank up the speed. Always on the treadmill it is at 1% incline. That is to make it more like the grade of a flat road.
I didn't do 10 and 1s but just ran it straight and picked up the speed. I did 3.1miles (5K) in 29:13 mintues. Sub 30!! Woo Hoo!
My workout day is complete!
Hump Day wasn't so bad afterall....
