I decided it was time to start seriously training again. I had enough time to rest and I feel that I'm in need of some heart pounding CrossFit work outs and some long slow trail runs.
I went to CrossFit tonight and knew it would be bad. I was hoping no one would show up and it would just be me. Turns out one other showed up. Oh well.
The work out was going to be a good one. It involved running and a nasty CrossFit move that always makes people stomachs churn when they hear the word: Burpees.

I needed this workout, I needed to suck it up and just do it. This will be the first of many ass kicking, fight for survival, near death experience type workouts I am always after.
This is what makes you the best you can be. All I need to do is convince my brain to get on board and just Suck it Up.

ReplyDeletePathFinder: Click on the Burpee Demonstration link I just reposted in the Blog Post. -They suck. Especially 50 of them....after running a mile, then another.
ReplyDeleteA burpee? Sounds like a fun way to exercise. I hope they're not too painful!
ReplyDeleteHome brew.... just read your earlier post. you are the master but what a mess :)
ReplyDeleteBurpees... who comes up with names like that?
Looks like you could get pretty creative with the burpees. I assume you added the back flip off the rings into your routine. ;-)
