WOD: CrossFit + Running 07.05.2012

Today’s workout specifically targeted my injuries, so I took it “easy”. I want to push so hard! It’s difficult to hold myself back. If I don’t, though — bad news!

Strength: Front Squat

These grab me by the hip flexor and check to see if I’m awake.

4 sets x8 reps:

  • 53#
  • 63#
  • 73#
  • 83#

I want to load that bar so bad, but won’t until I’m 110% cured.

MetCon:

I used 35# on the kettlebell and only a 10# ball. I need work on the wallballs — can barely hit the line. I’d blame being short, but the chick next to me used the 53# kettlebell and a 20# wallball, and she was hitting it just fine … we’re about the exact same height. She also finished 40 seconds before me. What an inspiration!

  • 21 KB swings
  • 42 wallballs
  • 15 KB swings
  • 30 wallballs
  • 9 KB swings
  • 18 wallballs

Time was 9:00 even. Wish I could string together more wallballs without getting punched in the face and falling on my butt … I was super graceful this morning. :-)

Next up was jogging by the river. My goal was for 3 miles, but I hit the wall — IRL. There was a fence set up around the perimeter of where I was running, probably for a 4th of July party that you had to pay to get into or something, so I couldn’t go as far as I intended. Sure there were other directions I could go, but meh. I was sweaty enough already.

So I just cut it short today. Not something I do often, and I’ve never ran only 2 miles before! That was weird.

SoS: 134.8

Hitting the grocery today so I can fix this problem. I’ve been so burned out on deciding what to feed the humans in the house to keep them alive. Finally sat down yesterday and planned out the week. Can’t lose weight without planning. It’s the biggest piece of the puzzle for me. Sometimes I just get sick of doing it, but when I “wing it” I start eating crap.

  3. stephintolife said: It’s been a slow process learning how to do a wall ball correctly… the key is catching it all the way before going into the next squat, keeping it pressed into your chin in a front rack and powering with your legs to throw the ball, not a press
