from Blaa ... to great!!



Man today's workout started out horrible. I was such a whinny girl. I walked in there not wanting to work out. First of all it took all the strength I had not to stop at the gas station on the way there to get some candy. I was craving sweetarts in the worst way.

When i get there I just whined and complained for awhile. I picked up the bar to do a warm up push jerk and the damn bar felt too heavy. So I whined some more. Then I decided I needed to warm up first, it took me over 5 minutes to row 600m. Man I was sucking.

Than I just decided to man up and get the damn work out over with. So I started with the bar x3, then when up to 50x3. Then I felt warm. The more I lifted the better I felt. D and I realized that I had never set a push jerk PR. So after the last round of 85X3 I started singles to find my max.

I was so excited!! By that time I was pumped and my 1st ever push jerk PR is 105!!!!!!!!!!
I was so pumped that after that I started trying double unders again. I just learned how to do them last week. And the most I have ever got in a row was 5. Today I got 7. Man I was so excited.

D suggested that i time myself and see how long it takes me to get 50 DU. I don't know if i'm ready for that. But that sounds like a new goal to add to the list.

Later!!!! Hurray for a great workout!!!
I tied Dymphna's PR, I know she is gonna try and outdo me tonight. But that's half the fun of crossfitting with other girls!!
