Yes...I'm still alive!

It's been a while...between getting a sinus infection that lasted a whole month and the row challenge I have been M.I.A.

Today I started my strength cycle...

Here's what my workout looked like:

SP: 55 (x5), 60 (x5), 65 (x3)

BS: 85 (x5), 115 (x5), 125 (x5)

Then I did 8 intervals of 30 sec on/30 sec off on the rower...something I thought I wouldn't say for a while after the row challenge.

Wonder how sore I'll be tomorrow after a month hiatus?!

Deadlift 5x5

WOD

Deadlift 5x5

135,145,155,165,175

Decided to do sets of 5 rather than singles since I haven't been in the gym in 2 weeks. Didn't want to try for a PR when I knew it most likely wasn't going to happen. It felt good to do the sets of 5.

Not too bad of a workout for first day back...now I'm scared to see what tomorrow brings.

Snatch & Pull-ups

WOD

Complete as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:

65# Snatch, 12 reps
10 Push-ups

Used 21# and completed 12 rounds. I think the 21# might have been a little light but Trey and Oak assured me I'd start feeling it after a couple rounds. I did feel it, but I think I could have still gone up a little bit in weight.

My brother and his wife were in town so we brought them with us. They both did really good for 1st time Crossfitters. I'm going to call them later on today to see how sore they are...:)

Pull-up Ladder

WOD

With a continuously running clock do one pull-up the first minute, two the second minute, three the third minute...continuing as long as you are able.

Post minutes.

Did 9 pull-ups/minutes. I always get confused in what to post on this one. Ended up ripping my hands in exact same place as a few days ago...so now I have sores on top of sores. Going to take a break from pull-ups for a little while.

Also, for some strange reason I can't just copy and paste anymore in my blog. Before I would copy the WOD from the CF Clarksville Blog and paste it into mine...not working anymore. Won't paste! Anyone else having this problem?

CF Football

WOD

12 Deadlifts, 135#
50 yard sprint
9 DL
100 yard sprint
6 DL
150 yard sprint

My time - 6:42

Did CF Football today because I wasn't feeling CF total or Helen. Overall pretty good workout, but I think I could have gone heavier on DL. Next time maybe 155#.

More sprints...more pain

WOD

Five rounds for time:
95# Snatch, 3 reps
95# OHS, 15 reps
400 m sprint

Used 42# and my time was 22:00. I think I could have done more on Snatch, but OHS was killing by round 3.

So glad tomorrow is a rest day!!

2 days of "beatdown"...

WOD

Four rounds, each for time:

Run 800 m

Rest as needed between sprints.

Post times for each round.

My times were 4:03, 4:07, 4:07, 4:21. Between today's WOD and yesterday's (below) I am completely beat and sore.

Yesterday's WOD

25 squats
25 push-ups
25 pull-ups
25 sit-ups
50 squats
50 push-ups
50 pull-ups
50 sit-ups
75 squats
75 push-ups
75 pull-ups
75 sit-ups

Not sure of my time because on #5 of 75 pull-ups I ripped my left hand open in 3 spots. I stopped the clock to tape my hand and forgot to restart it...noticed that halfway through 75 sit-ups. No matter because my time would have been HORRIBLE, but I am completely sore from that workout.

Did guy push-ups for 25 & 50, but went to girl push-ups for the 75. Also did kips for 25 & 50 pull-ups (plus first 5 of 75), but had to switch to 3 bands because hand was on fire and could barely grip the bar.
