Butterfinger Returns

This month so far is looking a lot like the beginning of last month--I've been to Crossfit 3 times. It's pretty disgraceful in my opinion, but at least I know I've got some excellent reasons for my truancy. Anyway, I hit the box last Thursday (it was the only day I had an opening) and as my first day back after the epic fall I took on the 3rd, I found the WOD to be particularly ironic. 

Thursday 4/11/13 WOD:

-Death by Toes to Bar (I did a few, but my shoulder protested and I switched to lunges. I didn't manage to keep track of the rounds I succeeded.) 

-Death by 10  Meter. (I did this WOD wayyyy back when I started at Crossfit sometime in the fall. I managed to get 8 rounds that time. This time I made it to 11!)


The weekend was full of wedding stuff, and many nights living out of my duffel bag and sleeping in places other than my bed. (My roommate forgot what I looked like.) I did manage to make it in to the box this morning though, with some really adorable help from the boy. He sent me a text at 5 AM saying that I should go to CF and have a wonderful day. I like him. 

Here's what we did:

Warm Up:
Tabata x3
:20 Jumping Jacks
:10 Squat Bottom
:20 Ball Slams (20lb)
:10 PVC Pass Throughs
:20 Butt Kicks
:10 Good Mornings
:20 Squats
:10 Rest

Skill:
Back Squats
-5x Practice (42lbs and a 20 inch box. I haven't squatted in ages and didn't want to screw things up, so this was just me warming up, and not part of the Skill work officially.)
-3x 70% (52lbs and box)
-3x 80% (62lbs and box)
-3x 90% (72lbs and box)

We were also supposed to do 50% with explosive upward movement until near failure, but I ran out of time working with adorable Miss N. 

WOD:
-100 Double Unders (300 Single)
Then
5 Rounds
-200 Meter Run (These runs killed me. It was nice to be outside this morning as it was lovely out, but my collarbone on the injured shoulder side was very sore.)
-12 Weighted Lunges (15lbs, modified with hand rail so I didn't fall over. I'm still so shakey)
Then
-100 Double Unders (300 Single)

Time: 21:15


So, "I" told me I needed to have a Crossfit nickname, and came up with "Big Butterfinger" in light of my crash boom the other day. I signed the board accordingly and I wonder if anyone will figure out it's me!


Miss N is always so sweet to me in the mornings, and she insists that I turn up more often now that the papers are all out for editing and my injuries are doing better. I think she's right. With support from sweethearts like her, and helpful pre-dawn texts from "A", I feel like I'll be back on schedule at the box in no time. 

Happy <3.
