Fran, Box Jump, & Angie

The question isn't "Where am I sore?", it's "Where am I not sore?" And the answer is: my feet?


"Fran"

WOD: 9:40 (Rx'd)

First time getting this workout in as Rx'd. Happy about the time since the weight for the thrusters is pretty heavy for me. For next time, should do more pullups in each set (only stop twice for first two rounds and try going last round all the way through).


Max Height Box Jump: 29.5" (HUGE mental game) My strategy was to sort of fake out a first attempt at a jump, and then go right into a real try. This pic is of Brittney doing a jump. She did awesome!


"Angie"

WOD: 25:04 (1:45 PR)

Really happy with the PR. Did pullups in sets of 5, though many of the sets were actually one at a time very quickly =) Also started out with pushups at sets of 5, but eventually went down to sets of 3. I think I could have definitely shaved off some time with the situps and squats (still feeling the effects of the past couple of days of Fran and tabata situps/pushups). By my 25th squat, I actually had to stop! Usually can get to at least 50 without stopping. I want at least a 2-3 minute PR next time!


Extra Practice: I haven't been adding sprints after workouts like I've wanted to, and that needs to change. I'll start adding those to my calendar again, and going to start taking at least 10 minutes everyday to stretch. My pre-class warmup is still the same: 3 rounds of dips, handstand pushups, and KTB swings. I also want to make it a priority to work on my flat feet with towel curls, calf stretches, and whatever else anyone recommends.

Zone Challenge: 16.5

With the party leading up to the Steeler game and other events during the week, wasn't completely on the Zone.

What's amazing is how much I'm starting to feel the effects of off days. Before, I could eat lots of junk and not notice anything, but since I've been strict on the Zone the cheat days make me feel horrible!!
