Running.

My first inclination in a lot of situations is to run away. Money problems? Quit everything. Boy problems? Run back to Single Town. Today I was faced with a conundrum though... 400 Meter Runs.

Rowing 400 Meters is a piece of cake. A walk in the park. No big deal.

Running it is approximately my worst nightmare.

Warm Up:
-50 Single Unders
-15 PVC Pass-Throughs
-4 Lengths Waiter's Carry (35lb plate held overhead)
-50 Mountain Climbers
-50 Flutter Kicks

Skill:
Snatch Work Every Minute on the Minute (7 Minutes)
-Power Snatch
-Overhead Squat
-Something I don't recall the name of where you do  another overhead squat, starting with the bar on shoulders a 'la back squat

All of these to be done without releasing the bar. Utilizing a hook grip.

WOD:
AMRAP 20 Minutes
-15 Snatch (I started at 32lbs, and dropped down to 22lbs for the last round)
-400 Meter Run (8 indoor laps)
-21 Hand Release Push Ups (from my knees)

Rounds: I got three whole rounds plus 13 Snatches.


I talked to Coach J this morning too, and he insured me yet again that I belong at CrossFit, and is going to cut me a deal on my dues so that way I don't have to quit with my new upcoming spending fast. (Beginning April Fool's Day, of course!)

I was successfully stopped from running away again.

Sadly, I'm running right now. Writing my blog and working on various things that are decidedly NOT my manuscript tonight is going to make me more stressed out in the long run, I know. I don't understand how I operate with this graduate school stuff. How can I keep doing this to myself?

The only thing I've been doing right lately is eating salads that are actually delicious. (I'm not a salad fan, typically.)

So good!
