3, 2, 1...oh wait.

So last Monday (the 26th), I headed off to crossfit.  It was really the first work out I haven't hurt at in the last, oh, 7 or so months.  It was so freaking sweet!  This was the WOD:

Strength: Backsquat 3 RM…how much can you squat 3 times?
WOD: 12:00 AMRAP
10 Push Ups
10 Supine Ring Rows
20 Sledge Hammer Swings (10 each hand) (8-50lbs)
275M Run (the building loop…no garage door action :) )

I worked on Backsquat with some chicas...did 3s up to 115, where I only got 1 (but yay!).  I did 3 rounds (+15 hammer swings) of knee pushups, 10 ring rows, 20 hammer swings (8#) and the 275m run.  Gotta start somewhere!

Before my awesome workout, I thought I would go to crossfit twice during the week.  Starting small.  Afterward, I thought, "there's no way you could keep me away from this. I'm going 3 times this week."  Then some weird stuff happened.  I burned out my sinuses and couldn't breathe without pain.  I didn't sleep much on Monday night, less than 2 hours to be exact.  Then I didn't sleep at all Tuesday night.  Zero sleep.  Wednesday was a bad day for attitude.  By that night, I was exhausted for sure, and got a long night of sleep in.  Since I wasn't feeling particularly well-rested, I skipped crossfit the rest of the week.  I did do some walking in the mornings with the dogs.  With a new week and a little better handle on the allergies, my goal is 2 or 3 crossfit workouts this week.  And maybe getting back to regular duty.
