GRIND

Today was a grind...but as usual it felt good to get a Monday WOD in especially with some of the Garage Games competitors!

ENDURANCE

5 X 300 M ROWS (1:12 / 1:08 / 1:06 / 1:07 / 1:06)

25 SLAM BALLS (30 LBS)

15 PUSHUPS

WOD

AMRAP 20 MINUTES

30 HAND TO HAND KB SWINGS (20KG)

20 WALLBALLS (20)

20 ABMAT SIT UPS

Complete 3 rounds + 38 reps in the alotted time. I thought that wall balls were the killer of the WOD. Could somewhat catch my breath during the abmat sit ups. Finished up the WOD with some lower back stretching.

Tomorrow will be fun as long as the weather holds up. I can't make the 6 am WOD at the Box due to a 7:30 work meeting and will be in Philadelphia all afternoon from lunch on so I'm going to do a WOD on the first floor of my office building. Thinking something along the lines of 10 - 9 - 8...3 - 2 - 1 BURPEES, SIT UPS, JUMPING LUNGES with a CASHOUT OF 200 FLUTTER KICKS. Thoughts?

DOG FIGHT...LITERALLY

Much to my chagrin, 4 months and counting and I still don't appeal to Stryker. Who knows why but we have our fights and then pet sessions once she warms up throughout the warmup. I use the term "dog fight" sparingly though as I don't want anyone to think I attacked her...I mean she attacked me. Fun and games always hoping nobody ever gets hurt with the precious pup!

Fran was quite a dog fight too! I keep telling myself as I check out the WOD during the day "oh...nothing too bad here". I'll quote Karen on this one..."no WOD is EVER EASY so stop thinking that!!".

Good warmup to get me moving and I got there a little earlier just cause I knew that with the 15 back squats and 75 overhead squats completed yesterday...oh yeah...how could I forget to mention the running, my legs would need some good stretching before Fran.

ENDURANCE
20 Burpees
20 Pushups
10 Jumping Pullups
20 Double Unders...still ever so frustrating
200M Row

WOD"FRAN"
21-15-9 reps

THRUSTER (95 lbs)
PULLUPS (jumping)

Completed in 10:50. PR (only because I've never attempted Fran before but who cares...still a PR). Big ups to Tony for the PR today on Fran. Watching Tony out of the corner of my eye finish in 2:56 was jaw-dropping...he was almost done with 21 and 15 reps before I was done with my 21 Thrusters!

LET'S START TRACKING

So the time has come...time to start tracking what my PR's are at CrossFit. It's been since September now that I've truly recognized what I've been doing there and unfortunately I can't always remember what my weights are at the designated lifts. So tracking it is...

ENDURANCE
3 x 300M rows for time
3 x 5 reps back squat

Completed the rows in 1:14 , 1:07 , 1:02.
Completed all of the back squats at a comfortable 185lbs.

WOD"NANCY"

5 ROUNDS
400 M RUN
15 OVERHEAD SQUATS (95/65)
This could have been a "cherry picked" WOD on my end as I HATE running WOD's, non the less, I completed it in 27:15. Thanks for the support from everyone in helping me finish the Overhead Squats as they cheered me on.
