Call me crazy, but I'm starting to like exercising on Mondays. Today was stressful, I spent most of my day sitting at my desk working on the summer schedule. So, the fact that I got to go relieve some stress this evening was really good.
A few great things happened today:
1. The WOD included running 2 400m laps. I ran at least one full lap each of the 5 rounds. There was one round, I killed it...running all but few feet (if I guessed, I would say 50ft.) Anyway, I am seeing some improvment in my running (jogging)...whatever you call it, it's improving.
2. Situps are getting easier for me. I pumped out 15 situps each round with not problem.
3. I hung from the bar for 2 seconds (3 times). That's a big deal for me. When I started in March, I couldn't even do that. Shoot...last week, I couldn't even do what I did today.
Progress...I continue to make progress in many areas. I'm actually looking forward to breaking a few PRs, whenever that happens.
Today's WOD was a challenge for me for sure. Not because it involved any crazy lifts or moves, but because I have been sick for the past two days. After Monday's WOD, I came home and everything was normal. However, in the middle of the night, I woke up with a fever, chills, sore throat, and just general pains and aches. I recently went on a different HBP medicine and these are all side effects of the medicine. I have since stopped that medicine, and taking something else the doctor prescribed.
I spent Tuesday in bed with the exception of when I was giving my staff instructions for move-out, and to eat (when I did eat). Wednesday, I knew it was too soon to go back, so I took the day off. Today, I felt better, but not 100%. I wanted to see if I could do any of the WOD, because I knew I needed to try at least for 2 days this week.
It went pretty well considering I have been sick. I went up to 35# kettlebell for those exercises today. I have been using a 25#, so that's progress for sure. I did not run as much today. I just did not have it in me.
Overall, I did pretty great considering. I won't be going again for this week. We have graduation here at MC Friday, and move-out/move-in for my hall this weekend. As usual, I will try my best to get in a few laps around the school circle. Also happening this weekend, my two month mark attending CF is coming up. Be on the look out for a special post about what I've learned in the two months.
