Week 10

Day 1: Monday-

Today's WOD 4 rounds of 400m Run and 10 ring rows, 10 burpees for time. It was brutal tonight. I walked most of the 400m each time. I finished at 37:17...under 40 minutes...not bad for this girl. Those dang burpees though...

Day 2: Tuesday-
Today was good, but I did not want to go. After I finished the WOD, I was glad to have finished. Of course, I was glad I went. 

I increased my power clean weight to 85# which was the Rx for the day for the women. 

Seriously, that's me ^. 

The WOD today was 11 Power cleans, 22 sit ups, and 33 box squats x5. I finished in 40 min and 8 sec. Here's to another successful day at the box. 


Day 3: Thursday-

That's the face I made today walking into Crossfit. Wednesday was a rest day for me and my shoulder. Apparently, power cleaning those 85#s was rough on me Tuesday. My shoulder hurt pretty bad, so it was much needed time off from the lifting anyway. I did week 4 day 2 of my running program, C25k. 

The WOD today was pretty good though. 15 box step ups, 15 sit ups, 30 lunges, and 15 air squats. AMRAP in 20 minutes. Pretty pleased to say I got in 3 full rounds for this WOD. My breaks are shorter these days, which is good. I am constantly trying to work on my breathing during the WOD. I seem to breath too heavy and hard sometimes. When I do that I think it slows me down even more, but today, my breathing seemed to be better and more under control. 

Day 4: Friday-

Last workout for the week was a good one. 3 clean & jerks, 11 wall balls x3, 6 squat cleans 11 wall balls x2, and 9 power cleans, 11 wall balls x 1. I finished in 15 min and 30 seconds with 75# and a 15# ball. I was hesitate to go into the box today because my shoulder is stilling hurting me. Surprisingly, my shoulder didn't hurt as much after the WOD as it did before. I'll be taking the next two days off, so it will have more time to heal. 

_____________________

Positives from this week: I did increase my weights on Tuesday. I noticed that my "rests" are getting shorter. This makes me super happy to know that I can keep going during a tough workout. Speaking of rests, I'm able to do 15 sit ups without stopping. 

One of things I have really like about this whole experience is seeing how far I have come. Not just since March, but every week, I increase in my weights, hang from the bar a few seconds longer than the week before, or whip out 15 sit ups at a time. All of this is proof how much CrossFit is working for me. Only because I have been consistent with going. It also helps that I am seeing the results sooner rather than later. 

Memorial Day is Monday. Check back next week for details on the Hero WOD we will do. I'm excited to be able to participate in this. Stay safe everyone, and as always, thanks for reading my blog and for the support.
