CrossFit Journal Year 2 Week 6

No Comments

This was my first week at CrossFit after going Paleo (for thirty days). Have you seen what I’ve been eating the past week, in yesterdays post?

Have I noticed a difference in my abilities? Well, no not quite yet but I think it’s too early to judge any of that at the moment.

The short:

Monday — CrossFit
Tuesday —  Climbing
Wednesday — CrossFit
Thursday —  Climbing
Friday — rest (I planned on going to XFit but the power was out there!)
Saturday — rest
Sunday — rest

The long:

______________________________________________


year 2, week 6, day one

SWOD:
3 x 10 Front Rack Lunges
What I completed: 55lbs – 60lbs – 65lbs
WOD: AMRAP 15
5 deadlifts
39 double unders
* 30 second rest
What I completed: I ended up doing Rx’ed!! I can’t believe I deadlifted 135lbs, that’s MORE than my body weight!! I also got double unders for the first time. It was Paleo Day 2, so that’s my reasoning behind it all. However I did manage to mangle my elbows in the process. I can’t get all fifty double unders in at once, so I trip over the skipping rope and this is what happens (they’re still bruised): double under wounds

I didn’t go climbing this week. I don’t really know why. Maybe prepping myself to go all out for thirty days coming up? (technically speaking, 28 more days…)

CrossFit Journal Year 2 Week 4

2 Comments

I’ve been really enjoying climbing this month and it’s only going to get better from here on out. I’m already scoping out a new pair of climbing shoes as the La Sportiva Miura’s I have right now are 9 years old and have never been resoled. Can you believe that? Now, I’ve stopped climbing for about 5 years in between that time frame, but still! They’re old. I’m not sure whether to replace them with the same type of shoe (that are now the MENS version – they came out with a women’s version but different color. That’s how old they are), or get a less aggressive shoe. The Katana’s, which I’ve been eying for years. Ho-hum, we’ll see.

On Saturday I sat down to a 3 hour paleo seminar. My paleo challenge starts on April 7th, so YES I did get to enjoy some Easter chocolate, and no I didn’t “fail already”, because it didn’t even START. Now that that ramble is out of the way, onto my workouts from last week.

The short:

Sunday — rest
Monday — CrossFit
Tuesday — sick day :(
Wednesday — rest
Thursday — Bouldering
Friday — rest
Saturday — paleo seminar? (Not really working out)

The long:

year 2, week 4, day one

I wasn’t bouldering this time, but I ended up doing a lot of top rope on Thursday night which was fun. My friend took a few pictures of me, too! Yay!
