Back In Action

So I kind of took a hiatus from working out and blogging. Bill and Jennie took a little weekend getaway, so I coached all the evening classes on Friday and the morning classes on Saturday. That left no time for me to workout. But I think it came at the right time. I think with how not-so-great my performances were last week, my body was telling me it needed a rest. So I took full advantage of it. Going back to the gym felt great today, and I was ready to get after it! It was a hot one, which I think took away from how well I could've done, but I liked it. Even though I ended in a puddle of my own sweat...

Strength: Push Press 5-5-5 34-39-45

My shoulder felt good today. I'm hoping that means the 30 minutes of torture from Heather last week paid off! It got kind of tight/sore on the last set, but it didn't bother me as much as it normally does overhead. Bill commented I need to open up my hips more when I finish overhead, so that's something to work on next time.

WOD:
15:00 AMRAP Of:
10 push-ups
15 wall ball shots (20/14)
20 KB Swings (24/16)

5+30

Looking at the other girl's scores I was hoping to come in around the 5-6 round mark and I did just that. There were many times I stopped to wipe of my hands because I almost threw the kettle bell over my head, or I stopped to shake out my arms to make sure each and every one of my push ups were chest to deck, no worming, no hips touching the ground. I think I only did that on one and I made it up to make sure it was legit. For some reason my wall balls haven't been as good as usual, I had to break those up a bit. But overall I'm pretty happy with this wod and how I held up. But it does sometimes amaze me the scores other people get.

FOOOOD
