I almost got in a fight, and then the walls came tumbling down...

Sorry it's taken me so long to get caught up, but Saturday's workout took a lot out of me, and I ended up taking 2 straight rest days. Thank God I did because yesterday's workout was another killer.

Saturday:
WU - Cindy 2 rounds
5 Ring Rows
10 Push-ups
15 Squats
500 M Row 2:35

WOD: "Not Quite a Fight"
SDHP 33lb bar
Box Jump - 2 45lb Bumper Plates stacked (6.5 inches)
Push Press 33lb bar
KB Swing 12 kg
1 minute each, 1 minute rest in between each round - 3 rounds
-We were to count the total number of reps - 161


SDHP 18,20, 15
BJ 17, 10, 15
PP 9, 10, 7
KBS 13, 12, 15

So after being so well rested yesterday, I figured I was up for a challenge. Here's how the night actually turned out.

WU - Cindy 2 rounds - I was still able able to breathe at this point.
Strength: Push Press 5x5 53 lbs - I could breathe but by the end of it, I couldn't feel my arms or shoulders
WOD: Karen - 150 Wall Balls TIME: 17:04

I knew I would hate this workout immediately once I found out what it actually was. And I was right. Squatting with a 6 lb medicine ball in your hand so your butt touches yet another medicine ball, and then you throw said 6lb medicine ball up to a specific spot on the wall marked by stickers. Of course the sticker I was supposed to hit was of Pukey, the Crossfit Mascot (a clown that vomits), and by toss # 20, that's exactly what I wanted to do. It took me way longer to complete this than everybody else, but I finished!!!!! I then proceeded to lay in the floor for 15 minutes trying to figure out where my lungs had gone. (And trying not to cry) All in all, at least I finished and I can say that while it kicked my butt, I am a greater person for it.

Cool-Down: 50 Abmats & Stretch
