So, haven't been to Crossfit in 4 days. MRI results...Degenerative changes to my hip! Translate, I'm actually older than I already knew I was! Anyway, 1 week of Steroids, and I am going to just push through. Back today:
CALS: routine, and no problem. Feel pretty good. Squats were OK, despite the hip issue.
ANTE: frog jumps/ lunge walks around the gym. No biggy.
WOD:1 mile timed run. WTH! I can't even run an untimed mile, but I digress... I ran half, and rowed half. Still feel pretty good. I'm HORRIFIED to say, that my total time for the 1/2 run 1/2 row mile was 9.45! Yikes. AND, it almost killed me. THEN... as many pull ups as possible in 3 minutes. THEN...as many push ups as possible in 3 minutes. I have made some progress. I was using a fat green band, AND a small red band to assist my pull ups. My last ones using those 2 bands yeilded 41 pull ups. REally. I was proud, until my coach said "really Vic, time to lose a band". I was REALLY attached to both of those bands. How could I possibly give one up. There like my children, I can't pick, or give one up. But, forced to, I lost the red one. Gave it a nice farewell, and did a humiliating 11 pull ups. Follwed by my pitiful pushups, 22, not quite worm like pushups. I can push my self up from the ground, but it's not something anyone wants to watch, or listen to for that matter.
STATS:
Starting Crossfit, @ 160 #, size 12-14.
One month of Crossfit, @ 165 #, clothes are looser. SHOCKED!!!! I'm stuck on the scale, and am told repeatedly, don't look at it. Coach Brenda, said " Oh, bummer, you had to buy bigger clothes?"... I said no, actually, they fit looser, and she said, " then so what?" LOVE Brenda!!! Jessa told me to get rid of the scale. So, I will jsut try to focus on how I feel, and it is better, and it is stronger. Am starting to get some random comments from people, so will forge on, as long as the hip holds out.
Another note, my kids came this weekend, for the "Prickly Pear" run. Jessica finished 3rd in her age group of 25-29 year olds for 10 miles!!!!! My inspiration continues.
Six weeks in, @ 160#, and clothes still looser. I can feel things "moving around".
