In sickness and in health, for richer and for poorer

I will continue to post for this blog.  I'm #committed.

The list of stuff that I need to work on just continues to grow.  It's part of what keeps me coming back.  Yesterday, we continued to progress to handstand walks.  Nothing much to report there except that I need to practice moving my hips to change my center of gravity.  It didn't feel natural and is going to take some getting used to.

Then we moved on to the L-sits (I used that video because I'm going to build those pvc parallettes (#vocabulary))  That is incredibly difficult and has proven to me that core is weak. Okay, added to the GOAT list.

I finished the WOD in 13:07.  It was 100 walking lunges, 800m run, 100 air squats, 800m run.  I didn't time the individual portions of this, and I wish that I would have.  I did the lunges at a deliberate pace, and I definitely could've done those and the 800m runs faster than I did.  I couldn't have done the air squats much faster.

It was a beautiful night to WOD outside.

Then Jay tempted me with a second WOD of 5 rounds of weighted lunges, chest to bar pull-ups, and handstand pushups.  I wanted to do it, and I was happy that I was up for it.  The lunges would've been tough.  I don't know how I would've held up, but I was down for the push-ups and pull-ups.  I take that as a positive sign of my fitness progression.  I'm recovering and am ready for more.

  2. Thank Jeff! Yeah, it wasn't long ago that your workout would have been gibberish to me. Now that you have posted it, I'm going to have to do it on some Sunday.
