7/11-13

Monday's WOD
BS 4×3 @86% (150#)
Metcon: 11:25 with a 25# DB.
Post: DB floor press with 15# DBs 12-10-8-9

The back squats were tough but happy to get them all done. 25# DB was too light... all the KBs were taken as were the mats for the sit ups at the packed class! I wish I had a heavier DB since my limiting factor was the sit ups.
Today is Thursday and my body does not like 150 sit ups. My abs still hurt when I sneeze/cough and my hip flexors had some serious DOMS yesterday; I had trouble lifting my legs to put on pants! I think when I do a sit up, I'm using my hip flexors to hold my legs and pull myself in a bit. Wow, were they sore and I'm sure it wasn't the BSes or DB swings given how they hurt.

Yesterday, I played on my work softball team again and it was fun. This time I had shoes instead of sport sandals! I had some pretty good hits but throwing the ball a few times resulted in a sore right delt. Maybe I pulled a tendon... either way, it needs rest.

Soooo I really wanted to make up Wednesday's WOD today but my new rule for me is that I can't let myself work out if my body isn't ready and my hip flexors are definitely not ready. Hopefully only need some ice tonight and one more day of rest so I can make it in for tomorrow's WOD.

6/25-7/4

I can't believe it's July already!!
A little catch up...

Only got in one WOD last week:
Clean: shrug a little more in rack position to avoid hitting collar bone.

Metcon: 6 rounds. Max 33. Min 15 (1st round). 1 min of DUs in warm-up: 80 (64 consecutive = new PR). Hallway cement really got to my head… metal rope pairs better with rubber mats. Rope malfunction again! >:(

Post: 12 TTBs but cut it when elbow felt weird. String of 4. Then Monday's BS: 4x5 at 77% (135#).

The collar bone is fine but there is a bruise just below the bone that is tender and still feels bruisy after a week! Not sure what's going on here :(


Wednesday, I was asked to sub on my coworker's softball team. I've never played softball before but have been to the batting cages... many years ago. Anyway, I ended up subbing and it was fun but they had me play first base and a guy from the other team ran into me... it almost felt like a concussion but I was fine.


Two weekends in a row of bad eating: one was for a wedding in South Bend and the other was a camping road trip to the UP. UP was nice but seriously, too many mosquitoes and not too much to see. It's a relaxing place but I wished the food was better.
