Cross Fit ~ Week 5 ~ Day 2
Ah, that sore feeling when you wake up the day after the "Murph"- I didn't expect to be that sore today, but I was. Sigh. But I got up, and out the door for another punishing workout. Jeff was back from Israel today - so that was a plus!
We did our stretching as always- basic warm-up drills and then off for the 400m warm up run...not bad- just hard to get the legs to wake up and perform...

Let me just say that Burpees are the work of the devil!!! I can't stand them and I especially hated them on the 1st round with 21 reps! Still hated them when I had 15 to do...and yes still hated them when I had 9 to do- but 9 felt so much like the home stretch!!
This was a timed workout and my time today was 21:20
I did each of the 400m runs and my leg wasn't bothering me- there is still a sore spot on my left upper shin, but I'm not entirely sure it's the start of shin splints...almost feels more like a bruise. Still have to get inserts for my running shoes- the store I went to yesterday was out of my size. Will try another store today!
Not sure if I will make it for tomorrow's WOD- celebrating 3 years of wonderful marriage with my husband Bill and we are both taking the day off of work...plan to get my manicure and pedicure, go out to lunch, take a walk or hike, evening massages and then pick up dinner from our favorite Italian place and enjoy a bottle of wine while watching "So You Think You Can Dance". No phones, no computers...just together time!
