Class!

I joined in for a small outside class run by Josh and Kate Bridges who have recently started running some outside classes a few days a week on campus. It was good to meet them.

8 rounds

10 55lb kettlebell thrusters
100 yard run
10 burps
100 yard run

I bagged out after 6 rounds deciding it was a good enough re-entry after 6-8 weeks of slothdom and no exercise. Based on today I'm glad I made that call.

forgot my time 18: and change I think

Slacker...

Sad to say that the school work combo has had the best of me and I've not worked out in over a month. And I sure feel like it.
Got back at it today with a scaled down workout to get my body back into the routine.

50 pullups
50 push ups
50 situps
50 squats

Looking forward to ramping back up as school wraps up...

Also glad to hear some crossfit classes are starting to happen around town from the sound of things.

Booo...

Well, its injury healing time. I decided to try and focus on pullups and dips, but then my back started spasming. Turns out that I have been overarching my back when lifting and bending forward from my back instead of my hips for most of my daily activities. So, time to heal, which means no load or shock bearing activities on my back or leg. This basically means no CF in much of a meaningful way. So, for awhile now, unless Ken gets motivated, this blog will be a little sad.

I am swimming slowly with a foam belt to hold my hips up and doing yoga. Hopefully I can get this all to heal and get back to it!

back at it...

Injuries are no fun. I am really ready for this IT band to stop giving me grief. In the mean time, I am going to follow some guidance given by the Crossfit Journal article called "Working Wounded." This is my chance to get much better at pullups, dips, and actually try to get a muscle up.

As of now, my official goal is one muscle-up by December. And hopefully me knee will be better by then so I can get back on squats, running, and heck, simply walking and biking. Grrr.

From the main site, Ken and I did (I subbed 21, 15,etc dips for lunges):

We had about 20 minutes to warm up and workout. This is what we did:

1 minute interval, no rest for 12 minutes
cycle through:
rowing
pushpress (50 lbs)
weighted situps (15 lbs)

Could have gone another round and thrown a heavy weight lift in to make it better.

Deadlift Machine!

Becka and I did some deadlift training. She is a stellar DLer (though I am not a coach, as she knows). Fun stuff though. Happy Birthday Becka! Next time, pictures.
