Contrary to popular belief, not all slippers are created equal.
Slippers, or "thongs" as the non-local calls them, can be of various sizes, thickness, and snugness.
Today I wore my "running slippers." They were thick enough so that they cushioned my feet from the impact and tight enough that they didn't slip of my feet.
Seriously.
Okay so it wasn't on purpose. I forgot to pack my gym bag today and had to stop at K-Mart to buy some workout clothes. But I wasn't about to throw down for a cheap pair of workout shoes.
I was lucky though that I had my Island Magic Surf slippers. They are soft and comfortable and tight.
Perfect for today's workout.
First we busted out some shoulder presses and strict pullups superset style. Cranked out a max of 150 and could have gone heavier. Did reps of 8 - 8 and 4 for those strict pullups. Turned my grip around and used those biceps which was a big help.
Then we did three rounds of 10 handstand pushups and running 400 meters with a minute rest in between each round. I have no problem with handstand pushups but running with my slippers worried me small kine. I shouldn't have worried at all though, because I swear it was actually easier than running in shoes.
My feet felt lighter and it was a comfortable run for sure. Derek was in front (of course) and Rusty was right behind him. She's been kicking ass in high gear that girl. And I came in third.
A good workout, and it feels good to be back at Crossfit. I hope I can stick to my workout schedule like I used to. I want to be at the gym 4 to 5 days a week again.
This time with shoes though.
