WOD
"Angie"
For time:
100 Pull-ups
100 Push-ups
100 Sit-ups
100 Squats
Post time to comments.
Not going to even post my time. Today was such a discouraging day. I wasn't even going to post anything for today's WOD, but I'm hoping it will help to eleviate my frustration.
I tried a few kips before I started the timer and something didn't feel right. I couldn't tell if it was my grip or if I couldn't get the momentum down. Tried doing bands, but my pride wouldn't let me.
About 3 minutes into the pullups I wanted to quit. In fact, I did. But Trey and Rick got me back into it by getting me to do jumping pullups. Needless to say, I wasn't feeling the rest of the workout. I was embarrased for quitting and throwing a temper tantrum. No excuses, really. Actually I can come up with plenty, but none worth typing.
Needless to say, everyday there will be kips at the end of each workout. Here's to hoping Saturday is a better day for me.
By the way, sorry for the downer post! :)

PJ 65, 70, 75, 80, 85 (only x3-PR)
Tanya and I had the luxury have working out this morning with no kids. It's nice when you can concentrate and take your time. She is super strong so I did my best to try and keep up (no luck though because she kicked my butt on every lift!).
Afterwards did yesterday's Crossfit Endurance workout of 4x375m sprints. My times were:

Squat Clean
WOD
Squat clean 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps
My loads were 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95(f), 92, 95
Was a little worried when I went in this morning because I was feeling very lethargic and weak. It was my own fault of course. Last night my neck was bothering me...again! So I took out my Rx of muscle relaxers and took not one, but two. The last couple times I've had to take one it hasn't helped much so I thought "why not two?!"
Won't be doing that again...paid for it all day. My poor husband had to deal with my grouchy butt on his day off, too.
Not looking forward to tomorrow's workout...don't care too much for upper body lifts.

"Elizabeth" and then some...
WOD
"Elizabeth"
21-15-9 reps of:
Clean 135 pounds
Ring dips
I think my time was 8:38 (or somewhere near that)
Didn't do females' weight of 85#...75# was hard enough. I was sucking big time. By the end I had that hard lump in my throat that makes you think you are going to blow chunks at any moment. I think sinus drainage (sorry for too much info) was a big factor in that lump. Then I did Crossfit Endurance workout with Michelle...thanks for the motivation, Michelle! :) I'm glad I did it, even though I was a zombie the rest of the day. And it wasn't even a Monday.
Crossfit Endurance WOD
All out efforts:
3 rounds, 2 min total rest between rounds
30 sec on,30 off
30 sec on, 25 off
30 sec on, 20 off
30 sec on, 15 off
30 sec on, 10 off
30 sec on, 5 off
30 sec on
Rest 2 minutes
I think we ended up rowing for about 20 minutes. Talk about tough.

CROSSFIT TOTAL
WOD
Back squat, 1 rep
Shoulder Press, 1 rep
Deadlift, 1 rep
My totals for today were:
Back squat - 160 (PR)
Shoulder Press - 67 (PR)
Deadlift - 190
Crossfit Total: 417
I always like Crossfit Total days. Since starting Crossfit I have done 3 Crossfit Totals. On July 28 my Crossfit Total was 315 (BS-115; SP-55; DL-145). Then on August 13 my total went up to 365 (BS-140; SP-60; DL-165). And now today it is 417.
I can tell I'm getting stronger, but I do feel that I need to add more cardio into my regiment. Michelle has mentioned Crossfit Endurance and I know it would help a lot, but it's just getting myself to actually start that is the hard part. Maybe Monday...LOL!

Sprints
WOD
Four rounds for time:
Run 400 meters
Rest 2 minutes
My first two rounds were 2:05 and the last two were 2:10. Of course, I wouldn't have been able to get anywhere near that if I hadn't been running on a treadmill. I cranked that baby up until I thought my legs were going to fall off and told myself "you better not trip!" Still, it's probably not very fast compared to most runners'standards.
I made myself do the running instead of rowing since I dislike it so much. It was raining this morning so instead of going up to the CF gym I dragged my butt into the CAC. Man, how I didn't miss that place! The minute I walked in the door it was like going from a bright and colorful world to a gray, dull one. One good thing was that Em did really well in the daycare, which is a rarity. I think her going to school is helping a lot.
Until tomorrow...wonder if the next couple of days are going to be cardio?!

Double duty
WOD
Run 5k
or
Front Squat 3-3-3-3-3-3-3 reps
Did both, except did rowing instead of running.
Rowed 5k in 26:45.
Front squat 65, 75, 85, 95, 105, 110, 115, x1 120, x1 125 (PR), x1 130 (PR), x1 135 (f)
Today was a good day for me. You know how some days you come in and you just feel weak. Today wasn't one of those days. In fact, it was the opposite. I'm anxious to see how much Nat kicks my butt tonight. Just so you know, Nat, I was just giving you some motivation to go in and get a new PR. :) You too, Jess! LOL!
On a different note, for anyone who needs a good chuckle, Em pointed at the huge zit forming between my eyes tonight and said "Mommy, boo-boo." Then preceded to try and pinch it off...ouch!
