Hi!! 
I went to Crossfit on Monday and Tuesday. Monday we ran 300 meters, did a variety of stretches, a clean/squat/jerk as our skill, front squats (my 3 rep max was 85#) and the WOD, which consisted of 2 rounds of the following: 25 deadlifts (85# bar), 30 pullups (band assisted, of course), and 200 jump ropes. Overall, a good class. Tuesday wasn't that great for me. We ran 400 meters, stretched, and then did a "snatch" which basically consists of cleaning up the bar, and pushing it straight up over your head while you squat low. Let's just say I fell on my azz, and embarrased the crap out of myself. Anyway, the WOD yesterday consisted of 5 rounds. Each round was 3 minutes long (1 minute break in between) and you did as many sets of the following as you could during that 3 minutes: 3 overhead squats, 6 box jumps (20 inch box), and 9 situps. I could usually get 3 sets done per round. I HATED the overhead squats. HATED them. I could barely use any weight (I think I did 25# and it was too much for me). Anyway, I was so upset with myself for crappy performance at Crossfit that after class I ran 1 mile, did the 72 push-up drop set from Gym Styles, and did 4, 1 minute side planks.
This morning I decided I needed a Cathe day, so I did HiiT Pyramid, 2 side planks (1 minute each), XTrain Shoulders (just 6 exercises - leaning lateral raises, overhead press, shoulder circles, rear delt drop sets with a really light weight, double arm upright row, and W press), and 4 rounds of XTrain Bis and Tris. Feeling much better now.
Wendy: How are you feeling?!?! Better, I hope. Germs really need to stay out of your way for awhile. You've had your fair share already this fall! I LOL at your "last minute" workout because it still sounds so intense. Nice job getting it done! I also noticed you worked out this morning. Still going to the gym with your hubby this evening??
Wiggie: Nice job with JNL's Lean Legs!! Making it harder - spoken like a true Cathlete! I'm determined to get better at jumping rope, so i'm definitely going to check out ZRopes!! Jumping rope is hard. I'm glad you found a way to use your new "toy". Crossfit went...okay. I thought about quitting after yesterday's debacle, but my sister talked me into finishing out the month. I enjoy some workouts more than others. We'll see!
