I'm feeling pretty accomplished right now. I had another workout, I learned how to do dead lifts and sumo dead lifts. I was dead lifting 53 lbs! That is something I never thought I would do, absolutely amazes and thrills me.
I warmed up with 500 meters on the rowing machine, some leg kicks, lunges and stretches. Then I learned how to properly do the lifts, we practiced those for a bit, then I did my WOD.
It was 12 reps/9 reps/6 reps dead lifting (53 lbs) and step ups (I used one of the 1" weights stacked on a thicker weight 2.5" maybe?). My time for that was 6.42 minutes. After resting for a bit and catching my breath I finished off with 500 more meters on the rowing machine as fast as I could without stopping.
Reading it, I know it doesn't sound like much, but I have to tell you I have never worked so hard in my life as I do at each crossfit workout. Never so hard, never get my heart pounding so much, never felt so accomplished. I wonder if what I feel at the end of a workout is a little taste of like a runner's high? It is a really good feeling, I can't wait till I can do more to get more of that good feeling. It is hard, and it is painful, but I love that it is short!
Okay, time to go, my arms are burning from holding them up to type...not even exaggerating here.
