Last day at MP CrossFit and Health Zone

A great workout today. Did HSPU with a yoga block for the first time. Granted that's not anywhere near a full HSPU, but it's a far cry from raking your shins on the wooden box jump boxes!! So...progress!!

Deadlifts (135 lbs)

My time: 10:00 w/ yoga block

So, I'll do a little blogging on my blog. Imagine that!

Tomorrow I'll begin my new adventure at CrossFit Jenks. I'm happy with my decision, and ready to move on.

Saying goodbye to Danny, Robert, Ben & John was tough this morning. Even harder to say goodbye to Rusty. He signed me up at HZ almost 10 years ago. I never thought I'd leave Health Zone, but then I never had any idea I'd be doing CrossFit! Amazing how we can become attached to people and places. But, times change, things change, and we move on when it's necessary.

I'm looking forward to some new challenges and being back with B and Clint.

So, let the games begin!!

The Crippler

400m Walking Lunges

My time: 17:43

*******

Erin finally pushed me over the edge this morning - can't take her mouth anymore. I went ove to the main gym and did the workout alone. Erin is a poor excuse for a coach. She is neither helpful nor encouraging. She is critical, bitter, hateful and rude. She talks down other affiliates, perhaps out of envy or jealousy. She rarely is complimentary about successes. She's just not a motivator at all, which a coach should be!! I cannot see myself improving under her "guidance". I know Jimmy was in a bad spot when he was deployed and she was his only option, but she will run his business into the ground.

12# wall ball

I'm convinced that jump rope and box jumps are horrible for my shins.

Little discouraged this morning, realizing that B is gone for good, and I really enjoyed working out with her. I'm not ready to make the move to Jenks, not ready to give up on MP CrossFit just yet. There are a lot of negatives about it, but I'm still getting a good workout. I don't know what the answer is...so until I do, I'll stay put.

Ring dips - knee in 1" band for assist

(The band on the ring dips beats the hell out of 3:1 bench dips as a sub!!)

Jimmy had posted "Murph" last night, and I actually dreamed about it...for no good reason. When I got up this morning the WOD was posted as:

Running "Josh"

21 OHS (95/65)
42 pull ups
run 400m
15 OHS (95/65)
30 Pull ups
run 400m
9 OHS (95/65)
18 Pull ups
Run 400m

My time: 26:22 Rx

(This is my first time to do this Rx. Last time we did it was in August and I was still nursing my rotator cuff injury, and I used a band and a lighter weight on the OHS. Previous to that, I had done it, but wasn't doing Kipping pull ups yet.)

*****
This was my first workout doing double unders. Finally just made up my mind I could do them. I can only do one and have to re-set and do another, but I CAN DO DOUBLE UNDERS. :-D

The 5:30 a.m. class today, everyone did Rx on the workout. Everyone being, Jim, Danny, Robert, Ben, John and myself. Class is pretty small these days. And I was slow on the workout because I was working on strict form on every move, so I felt good about my time.
