Finally not sick!

So apparently, we all had the cold! Yeah, I knew I was coming down with something! I'm surprised it took this long to get me sick! Oh well, at least I got to stay home and get better!

Tonight, I had to fight myself to go in! Since the clock struck 3, I was debating in wether or not to go. Once on the road I was still debating! I do hate being gone for awhile! So as I was coming up to my exit, I finally decided I'm going in!!!

I'm glad I did too! I felt a lot better being there.... of course AFTER the warm-up.... haha!!! Did some cleans and some snatch grip dead lift. Finally getting better at the cleans... but I think next time I'll see if I can be video taped just do that I can see what I need to improve on. 

Then on to the workout!!! Freaking brutal!! Well, actually not too bad except for when my knee started hurting during the dead lift part. So instead of full range, I did about 3/4 range to help ease the pain. It was 5 rounds of 25 jump rope(heavy), 20 sumo dead lifts, 15 kb swings, 10 weighted sit ups(10 lbs), 5 back extensions... Went in hard and finished hard... so round 1 and 5 I pushed hard. Haha, I think I do that with every workout! If only I can stay consistent throughout the whole workout!

2 week hiatus

I haven't been in, in two weeks. Mostly excuses... but also trying to help Greg get situated with his classes this semester... it was a headache to stay the least!

Anyway, went in to the gym today.  I was going to go in on Monday, but unfortunately I had one Hell of a headache I could not kick! I was planning to go to the 4 pm class, but I completely slept through it and still woke up with a headache... yeah... suck! Today I wasn't feeling it at all. I was falling asleep at work and I had busy today. I never feel that tired when I'm that busy. Got to the gym, barely talked to anyone... just wasn't in the talking mood like usual... I looked on the board and saw burpees! Oh dear God... burpees!!! I knew it was because u haven't been in in awhile. I was telling my friend earlier "with my luck, there's burpees today!" Yup... it was taunting me as I was doing my warm-up and strength... then torturing me during the workout.

But!!! As I was dying and ready to just give up, here comes one of the coaches to help give me that push to finish.  As I'm going through the workout, I hear my capitol friends cheering me on, encouraging me to keep pushing and finish the wod. It was brutal... but I finished!

Then I feel like crap... damn it, I think I'm coming down with a cold.

During strength, we did push presses.  I grabbed the women's bar and wanted to add more weight. Funny thing though, I thought I grabbed the 5 lbs weights to add 10 lbs... when actually I grabbed the 10 lbs weight!! And I was doing just fine. So when I wanted to add more, I checked the weights, which I think I should have not.

All in all, a good night. Let's just hope that I don't come down with a child
