A beautiful fall day in Ohio required a run at the park tonight. It was all I thought about while I traveled from appointment to appointment at work today. I ran 3 miles through wooded trails as my warm up to a CrossFit class tonight. I attended a class that my husband was training. It took him believing in me and pushing me to an uncomfortable level to get through the workout with a PR.
Today's PR (personal record) back squat of 105lbs tonight! I was so excited that it really didn't matter that the workout was. Well until I got a round into it...
WOD
15 pistols (squat with one leg, scaled by holding a bar)
30 toes to bar (I scaled this to knees to chest while hanging on the pull up bar)
60 double unders (scaled to 200 single jump ropes)
15 minutes AMRAP (As Many Rounds As Possible)
I completed 3 rounds with 8 additional pistols.
By my last round of jump rope I was getting tangled up because I couldn't jump my legs high enough off the ground anymore. I could only complete 3 knees to chest at a time because my hands burned and my pistols turned to an ugly mess. When I heard the word "time", I was so relieved and dropped to the floor. I DID IT! With my lungs burning I stretched out and thought about how the body is an incredible machine when pushed to its limits. I love the feeling I have when I get done with any workout or run. It is an accomplishment that nobody can take from me. It was a beautiful sweaty end to the day.
