There was close to 4 feet of snow on the ground this morning, but we somehow made it to CrossFit. I shoveled for about 20 minutes before Dave came and picked me up, so I was already a little worn out. I just wanted to get my excuses in early to help explain my poor performance at the gym. Also, I was really tired from a 13 mile run on Saturday, I shoveled for two hours on Sunday, I think I may be coming down with a cold, my hands still have blisters all over them, I didn't sleep very well, I forgot to eat anything before going to the gym, and at least 10 others that I can't think of right now. Considering all I overcame this morning, I actually think I kicked some serious butt on today's WOD. We did max reps for 3 minutes of 6 exercises. Pull ups, double unders, Sumo Dead-lift High-pull, push ups, knees to elbows, and 24" box jumps. I did somewhere between 5 and a million of each exercise. Did I mention that I felt a little dehydrated? Add that to the list.
During the run on Saturday, at about mile 3, there was an old lady who was stuck in the middle of the road and her car wouldn't start. Being the good Samaritans that we are, Dave and I pushed her into a parking lot and were just about to ask if we could call her a tow truck when her truck started and she took off without as much as a wave. I figure the energy required to push her truck was worth at least another mile or so. Pushing that truck kind of hurt my back, now that I think about it and that made today's workout even more difficult. OK, I'm done now.
