Calluses are cute, right? ...Right?

It's been a while, probably because I had a lousy dark, sad weekend and end of last week. I'm still not recovered. School makes me want to either punch an infant or jump off a bridge most days. Thank goodness for my friends. Seriously, they lift me up.

At Lakeside for the Cedar Point trip last week. 

I spent 8 hours at the lab doing Master's work yesterday and managed to get my buns to CrossFit this morning though, so I think this week is off to a better start than last week.

Warm Up:
Repeat 2x
100 Single Unders
10 Good Mornings (22lb bar)
10 Dead Lifts (22lb bar)
10 Shoulder Press (22lb bar)
20 Lateral Jumps
Lunge walk the length of the gym 2x

Skill:
Shoulder Press: because I'm such a beginner and could only do 32 pounds, I cleaned it up instead of using a stand for the shoulder press. 4x 5 reps at that weight after 10 reps with the 22lb bar. Nothing fancy or impressive.

WOD:
100 Knees to Elbows (Or knees up over hips in my case)
-Any time I stopped for any reason, I had to do 10 shoulder presses (22lb bar).
I began with 15 Arms to Elbows hanging from the pull-up bar, but soon had to graduate to the floor. Note to self: wear gloves and also work to improve hand strength.

Finisher:
3x 250 Meter Rowing Sprints with 30 second rests in between
AMRAP Sit-Ups in 2 Minutes. (I did 42).

I did not feel like I was going to die during the workout today. I think that means I didn't push myself hard enough! I feel kinda crazy for wanting to go back and push myself to exhaustion. If my hands were stronger, I would have loved to have gotten in more hanging knees to elbows!

I still look pretty ridiculous when attempting to jump rope. Today I managed to get the rope stuck in my hair and also failed to manage any decent SINGLE unders. I am practically skipping rope like an elementary school girl. This is something I need to work on. (Along with my pull-ups, push-ups, and squats.)

Do I ever!

Today's Reason: Because working out makes me feel like I can DO ALL THE THINGS, and unfortunately, that's the only way I will make it through the next two months. (Also, booze.)
