Went to CF tonight a little fearful that I wasn't going to make it through the WOD.

Seems the last 3-4 times I've went I still get that pesky migraine.

Anyway, it was a nice beating as always.

I must be a glutton for punishment becasue I really just pushed my way through without a thought of giving up.

We worked on a complex of olympic moves which I really liked.

The WOD itself was simple, but don't let that fool you. I used a band for assistance on the dips, and ended up dropping the weight on the d-bell thrusters. Seemed everytime I did the d-bell thrusters the pressure in my head increased making it miserable. The drop in weight was a good idea.

Even though I did less resistance, I was still feeling it and loved every minute of it.

Getting a few Strange Looks today.....

Okay, I know you all have been on the edge of your seats waiting for an update, well, it is here.
I have been incredibly sick, but seem to push through it when and where I can.
Today I went out for a run and ended up getting 3.5 miles out and had to stop and walk back home. I ended up getting a migraine again. Next time I think I'm just gonna hop on the treadmill to warm up before I go out for a real run.

I decided to go back out to the gym and run on the treadmill since I felt better. I was incredibly nauseated, but I thought to myself, hey this is good Ultra training.

I was getting a lot of strange looks tonight because I was running and had a bottle of pop in my hand and drinking it while running. I stopped at the store to pick up a bottle of Ginger Ale to sip on while I ran. What did they know anyway.

I must be a glutton for punishment because after the initial run of 3.5 mile run, not counting the 3.5 mile walk back, I ended up doing another 7.5 miles plus a CF workout: "Cindy".
Again I was getting strange looks while doing this workout. Maybe it was deserved, but again, what did they know?

Totals:
11 miles total
CF WOD: "Cindy"

Cindy my Love

I have been debating for quite some time whether or not I would post about any Crossfit workouts that I do at home or anywhere else..
I have done a few on my own since joining Rogue but never posted them.
Well, I am still sick and since I pushed through this I thought it was warranted. I will from now on post the workouts I do at home.

Tonight was my favorite CF WOD: Cindy. Actually the jury is still out on that one, but it seemed to be one I repeated a lot when I started CF on my own.

What made tonight a little different was that I did "Cindy" at my other gym I go to.
I was getting a few strange looks, but I didn't care. Those losers stand around gawkin at girls and grabbing each other on the behind while people like me could care less and want to workout.
Anyway, I ran a total of 11 miles today plus Cindy.

Cindy:
5 Pull Ups
10 Push Ups
15 Squats
AMRAP in 20 minutes.

My score: 11 rounds. I wasn't feeling well and wasn't pushing it at all.

Sick, Twisted, Fun

This picture was actually taken a little while back when we were doing Rowing Relays. I was laying on the floor as noted by the arrow. This is what I can't wait to get back to.



This past week or so has left me unbeleivably sick from some medicine my doctor has me on. I've since stopped taking it and will see if it helps. I was feeling as if I was poisoned. Constant headache, severe nausea. Insane pain for sure. Nothing good at all.
The past three CF sessions left me with a severe migraine, but I was able to push through at my own pace to finish it out.
Regardless of what it is, I hope it stops real soon.

Today's WOD was a real treat as always. For the Skill we focused a little on something that I suck so bad at:

Kipping Pull Ups.

I was actually looking forward to the day that we could get some instruction on this and today, it finally came.

When I first started doing CF on my own, I thought I was going to rip my arm out of it's socket. I can barely do pull ups because of this, but so far it felt really good and I had no issues doing these today.
With the instruction I got today from Troy, I think I will have enough to work on these.


Warm Up: (Standard Pre-Beating)

20 Push ups
30 Squats
1000m Row

Skill: (Insight into the "The Beating")
Kipping Pull Ups


WOD: (Main Beating)
B 2 B Squats
Push Ups
Pull Ups
Flutter Kicks

8 Rounds of Tabata for each group.
We all finished in 17:00.


Warm Down: 100 abmat sit ups ( I couldn't do these as my head was pounding.)
