Yesterday I just could not get out of bed! I fell back to sleep while reading the posted WOD. I must have needed the rest - it's abnormal for me to sleep so soundly after waking up. I still didn't want to get up at 6:00, but I kinda need my job.
Today I was ready to get back at it! Of course, my back has other ideas. It's getting better, slowly. Our strength today was Front Squats (how I hurt my back to begin with!). I started with just the 35# bar for the warm up, several sets with that. Then I did 5 ea @ 45-55-65. Still feeling a bit of strain at that weight so I stopped and got on a rower for 1000m. That really helps loosen my back up.
The posted WOD:
21-15-9 Rep rounds for time of:
Power snatch (Men 95 lbs, Women 65 lbs)
Burpees
What I did:
21-15-9 Rep rounds for time of:
Power Snatch (65#)
Push ups
My time: 10:18
The push ups, which hurt just a few days ago, did not hurt my back today. So, things are progressing nicely. The power snatches felt pretty darn good, and I felt great afterward. Breck reminded me "you're gonna feel great all day", and of course he's right. A good workout makes all the difference in my day!
