I hadn't seen my trainer in over a week, due to me being sick, and him being paranoid about me being sick. I probably could have worked out (I did run last week, after all), but my body sure enjoyed the rest.
That said, it was good to be back. The garage had a new spiffy machine, with a pull up bar, so I got to show off one wicked pull up (followed by one really shitty pull up, and then lots of shame).
My trainer wasted no time setting me up to get my ass kicked again. He called this "run fran run" which I can only assume is some crossfit thing, but I'm too lazy to look it up, because fran-kly I don't give a shit.
x10
10 thrusters
0.25 mile sprint
I did the first 6 thruster sets with a 45lb bar, and the last 4 sets with two 20lb dumbbells because my wrists ached way too bad. My trainer says the wrist part gets easier, and that my wrists will be pretty sore today. Fun!
The sprints were more like "sprints." I was having some pretty ugly cramps on my leg side, so I spent most of the sprints doing 7.5mph. Ug.
x3
60 second plank
15 per side raised leg toe touch crunches
Just to be clear, that's not a gang sign. That's scissors. As in
Rock.
Paper.
Scissors.
Because I really don't like clothes near my neck. Ug.
Today is my tempo run, which means I'll spend the day reading over the comments from my tempo run two weeks ago, and try not to fuck it up this time.
They need to make more V-neck shirts for working out. Problem being, I have a snotty nose so when I go to wipe it, a v-neck means I have to reach farther down :) to wipe the snot. Hmmm.
ReplyDeleteThose arms of yours be ripped!!
So true, Coy!
DeleteHowever, I'm thinking the scissors are going to have to come out and do some damage in my closet as well!
Damn you are still rocking the guns!
ReplyDeleteI hate clothing by my neck also! Love that you gave it your own style.
ReplyDeleteI have wrist issue too. I've switched to using a hook grip, it seems to help a little.
ReplyDelete+1 for Crossfit puns! This is totally random but I've been doing a sad pull-up workout because of what you suggested to me ages ago and I have finally progressed to 2 in a row. I feel like superwoman now!
ReplyDeleteYou look awesome.
ReplyDeleteHurray for being back in training, and good luck on the tempo run. And really, as long as you're running and pushing yourself, how bad can you screw it up? That's my theory, anyway.
Thank you for not listing out entire Crossfit workouts and posting pictures of white boards and calling that content :)
ReplyDeleteI was thinking your shirt looked "altered". I'm glad you clarified and I'm not crazy.
ReplyDeleteI always giggle when my trainer says we are going to do thrusters. I giggled just now, and I giggled when I read your blog. I swear I'm a 12 year old boy trapped in a 50 year old woman's body.
