I am not working out today for I am still quite sore from this week's endeavors. Plus we're doing yard work this weekend - that counts as my workout, right?
Monday was a holiday so I didn't go to the gym. I fit in a couple workouts over the long weekend but I mostly spent it relaxing with my husband.
Tuesday I did a great 35 min yoga session from doyogawithme.com. It was a good challenge for how short it was!
Wednesday - because I missed the gym on Monday and I wasn't sure what Crossfit had in store for me, I hit every muscle group - not too intense, but it ended up being a great total body workout that left me feeling like I worked hard.
Thursday - RWB Crossfit! The warm up was enough to get me sweating.
Run 200m
10 Squats
10 Lunges
10 Inchworms - these suck!!!
10 Spidermans
x2
Then we did 5 sets of 5 pull ups. I did almost this EXACT same thing the day before!!! Why did I do that!!! So - I can do pull ups but I tire out quickly and can't get my chin up to the bar after about the 4th pull up. And as I moved on to each set I just got more and more tired. So they had me use a very stretchy resistance band so I could get a better range of motion as I started to tire out.
The WOD was 21-15-9 deadlifts and hand raise push ups (at the bottom of the push up, put your chest on the ground and raise your hands slightly off the ground and pinch your shoulder blades) Ok - I do not do enough deadlifts. I've done them maybe 3 times and that was a month ago. These literally whupped my butt. I couldn't use a very high weight but at least I had good form as I'm familiar with deadlifts.

And of course we got our post workout group picture! I'm the goofball in the middle!
Everywhere just hurts today. Maybe Wednesday's workout was a mistake because it ended up being way similar to what I did at Crossfit the next day! But you know what, I'll be stronger for it. It's preparing me for the SuperBeast. I do kind of feel like I just ran an obstacle race. Simulating that feeling in training? That's a good thing!
