And then I stopped b/c: 1- was at 10:00 mark & 2- thought I was going to die.
Next time I'll try to get 8 in before 10:00 and eventually (hopefully) I can build up to 10 w/breaks. I had no idea how slow I've become! Need to gain increase speed & endurance incase somebody tries to ride my bike into the pool.

 

WOD today:

warmup:
50 24" box jumps
50 walking lunges

WOD:
10 minute Burpee AMRAP = 104

Cooldown:
3x 15 Knees to Elbows

 

Today we had a nice little date with Nicole.

We did 5x3 weighted push ups, I maxed out at 101.25 finally got to use the
1 1/4lb plate. Then we did Nicole:

20 mins of as many rounds as possible
400m run
as many pull ups as possible

I got 8 rounds with 41 strict pullups.

 

Made up a complex
WOD 7rds @ 135#: 20:26
Complex goes;
5 wide grip DL
4 Power Snatch
3 High Back Squat
2 Push press
1 Thruster
+50 burpees at the end for penalty assessment (5 everytime bar is set down for rest)

 

Instead of taking the day completely off, I had a mini-workout. 100 sit-ups. Not much at all, but better than nothing.

 

how long did it take?

 

Around 6 minutes I guess. Didn't bother timing since it wasn't much.

EDIT: Ok, on second thought, that sounds like way too long. I did 4 sets of 25 at an easy pace with about 20 seconds rest in between.

 

Don't know about anyone else, but whenever I take a day or two off, I get excited to get back into it! Mondays are always the most exciting since I take Sat and Sun off.

 

I just feel fat and out of shape when I don't go. But one of our fire breathers bdays is on Tuesday so I forsee murph or some hell wod. He's the one who did murph with a 40lb vest

 

good luck with that. we'll be doing murph in the next month or two

 

I've been excited to get back into it, but then 2 minutes in it hurts like hell and I know if I'd have done something over the time off it wouldn't hurt as badly.

 

Then mine is the 20th so I know we'll be doing OHS

 

the pain is good for you, it builds character

you don't have a say as to the workout for your b-day?

 

Nope, its always a surprise. They take what you like and incorporate it and I am always bitching when we do ohs so I just forsee it lol

 

I went to a CF gym for 4 months last year.
Then, had to move to the other side of town.
I really miss it!

I am an active guy (bike, hike, run etc.), but have never been a gym rat.
Being in the gym bored me to tears.
CrossFit always challenged me and NEVER bored me.

If you are in Chandler, AZ go to Crossfit Forever Strong - it's the best, wish I did not live 20 miles away.

 

There are 3 crossfit gyms in Chandler. Don't know if you are close to the other 2.

Well.... I'm in Phoenix now - near 40th St. and Baseline.
So Chandler is kinda out of the question.
I am inspired though - gonna do a search for something near me.

 

Here's a link to do the search: http://www.crossfit.com/cf-affiliates/

On the left under the initial menu you'll see Affiliates and a list of states. Click on AZ and there you go!

 

Try getting in touch w/ Ben or Trish at Scottsdale Healthcare Crossfit (www.shccrossfit.com). Its a pretty basic gym, but they do a really great job. I was going there for a few months. Really great group of people.
If you go, tell them I said hi!!!

 

Got a new PR on front squat during the o-lift Decided to give it a go and see if I had improved
Use to be 175, got 190 today
