2009 08 25 WOD: Karen-ish

warmup: 400m run then 3 rounds of
•10 pushups
•10 pullups
•10 back extensions
•5 pass throughs
•10 overhead squats

MetCon: 50-40-30-20-10 reps (given my rather annoying (and rage producing) injured IT band, I scaled my WOD: 40-30-20-10 reps)
- Wall ball @ 8lb
- Double-unders

i was done under 18:00 (17:40)

first week doing xFit Chicago WODs, they’re good – wish i could afford going every day. such nice folks too

also wish my bodyfat was lower so that my runs didn’t thrash my joints so much. the drills bryce taught me helped – wow, the video showed me how much my running SUCKS! (and i was running a 9:40 avg like that?!)

dragged myself in … my IT band streaked pain, but i got through it. i actually started crying (more emotional relief than pain).

excited about tomorrow … if my sore body let’s me outta bed.

2009 08 21: Karen ... my very first Crossfit Workout

150 wallballs @ 14lbs

55:37
holy crap . . . talk about declining output . . . it just got tougher and tougher.

i cried. i actually cried. after 50, i was slowing down to a slow crawl. after 75, i was doing only 2 at a time. by 125, i was doing them 1 at a time and sobbing in between. it was brutal.

... did a standard rx’ed warm up

I could barely move afterwards ... for 3 days ... this is CrossFit? Holy shit this is a whole new world of training pain. I may like it.
