So Good You Almost Puke

Made it back for the first workout since last week Wednesday, which in Crossfit Years is the equivalent of not working out for two months. I think the ratio is for every day you miss of Crossfit it equals two weeks of not going to the regular gym.

Seriously.

So the workout was 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 reps of KB swings while going in the other direction for burpee box jumps.

Holy. Crap.

It starts out pretty easy because 10 KB swings ain't nothin. But then those burpee box jumps start adding up real fast.

In total we did 55 BBJ's and at the end of the WOD I felt like throwing up. In fact everyone did.

Pretty sure no one actually yacked but it sure felt like it.

Also it didn't help that it's August and the box is like an oven. Swear to God we're cooking in there.

I was squatting yesterday and I couldn't see anything as I was going down with the weight because sweat was in my eyes the whole time.

In other news, went to Kaiser for my first round of physical therapy and the doc seemed to know what she was doing. Did some shoulder bending movements and it actually felt better. Just gotta remember to do those same movements again during my lunch break.

Today we've got four rounds of running 400 meters and toes to bar. I think I'll do okay if I can keep my grip on the bar.

Best of luck to everyone, cheehoo.
