I have to say, CrossFitting without an affiliate is harder than I thought it would be. Today I was trying to do the WOD from the main site, and I was looking forward to it, but it's so hard to keep going when you're doing it alone and timing it on your cell phone. I may sound whiny, but I really miss the trainers and encouragement and camaraderie. To make a long story short, I stopped mid-WOD today. Sucks.
Then I decided to not completely waste my gym trip, so I was going to do overhead squats 3-3-3-3-3. Well, after round 3, my wrists gave out (and I don't have tape), so I couldn't even finish that.
Today feels like such a failure. I am going to try and hang up my pull up bar tonight. Hopefully it works and today won't be a complete waste.
I am going strict Paleo starting tomorrow--no cheat days or anything since I still feel subpar--and I will stick to CF HQ's 3-on, 1-off schedule. We'll see how that works. I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving, when I will have a whole week at the affiliate.

Hey, I think it's great that you are doing the workouts with the equipment and the facilities available to you. Keep up the good work, and it will be like a party when you get back to CF Atlanta!
ReplyDeleteYou were out there, you were doing it, so it's not a loss; it's natural and would be for anyone. Some days are good, some days suck. Good days, bad days, but at least you got there and tried rather than not going. It's also part, I think, of learning to listen to your body, which you have to do in order to stay at it long term. And when it really sucks, just scale back and do one at a time. That's what Dan was doing on pushups today, one at a time and resting. Sounds like you need to pack a gym bag and put some tape in it, along with some Red Hot, some hand balm, couple smelly sox, other good shit like that.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I have one of those analog stop watches from back in the Navy, with a stop and start button - want me to fedex it to you? Or better yet order one on Amazon and put it in your gymbag along with all the other good shit. All the ladies be carrying them at CFA if you watch when they walk in.
ReplyDeleteI meant all the ladies be carrying a gym bag, not necessarily a stop watch.
ReplyDeleteAlso and I swear I will stop usurping bandwidth, did the interview with the school paper go well? Maybe that will pull some badasses out of the woodwork to train with you
