Do over.

My posts on here tend to be about CrossFit and the workouts I do. It's largely a mechanism to share what I've done, and I can go back and check to see what I was doing (I am terrible at tracking my WOD times/weights).

Anyway, today is about how much I suck. Over the Holidays, I was sick a few days, and took some rest and didn't do much. I thought I was playing it safe and easing back into some WODs, in fact, I know that's what I was doing. I haven't pushed any heavy weights that I normally would, or done any WODs where I really pushed it. And, up until last week, things were fine.

This past Sunday, I am running down the snow covered sidewalk, pulling my daughter in the sled. I was sprinting or anything like that, and I pull my left hamstring a bit at the ham/glute tie in. OK, well that stinks. I do some weighted pullups on Monday. On Tuesday, hamstring feels better and decide to test the waters with some weighted lunges, hamstring is doing fine, cool. However, on the 5th round of the WOD, I pull something in my right quad, on the inside, from the tear drop up to my groin. OK, well that double stinks. I guess my right leg was feeling lonely.

These aren't what I would call bad pulls, but it's keeping me from pushing it. So, today, we line up a WOD 'Juggernaut' which is 400m runs, deadlifts, and GHDs. I warm up, try some deads, things feel 'OK' staying at 225. I do one round, no problem running or with the other moves. Hop on for my second round and pull my right hamstring a bit down at my knee. OK, this is getting ridiculous. What am I doing here? Self destructing is what.

Not sure what is going on, I don't recall ever having 3 slight pulls in 3 different muscles. It's almost funny, but I am not laughing.....

I want a do over.

Burp Lateral

Today's happy time WOD:

15 pushups - Games style (chest to floor, hands off the floor at bottom)
15 back extensions
10 toes to bar
10 burpee - lateral jump over a bench - burpee (10 total burpees)

3 rounds, Mr RJOCHEMS3 came in around 12 min, he kicked it off first so we wouldn't get jammed up on the pullup bar...so guessing I was about the same time.

This thing turned out to be a good one, after pre-exhausting your chest, back, and abs, the burpee and lateral jump used the components you just exhausted from the previous movements....Cool stuff.
