Yesterday I really wanted to workout. But for the wrong reason. I often feel like I should be working out every day. Some crossfit athletes do. What I want when I work out is total commitment. Just going in because I think I should isn’t conducive to getting that total commitment.
I had worked out on Friday and Saturday, resting on Sunday. So I decided not to go in on Monday, and enforced a rule that I need at least one two-day rest during a week. A four day schedule is enough for me, as long as I get 100% of the workout.
So I went in today rested and in a good mood. I ran an 800 in 3:30. Theoretically it means I can run a 7 minute mile. Which is huge improvement over the 10 minute mile I started with a year ago. A 7 minute mile is a good goal for me. I was also able to whip out 30 pullups, 30 pushups, and 30 ghd situps. The pullups and pushups were in unbroken sets (of 10.)
The WOD was 3x 400m row, 10 air squats, and 5 hang power cleans for time. It took me 12:55, but I was committed. I figure I got about 95% of the workout. The HPC’s were really sloppy though. Something to improve on. Next week!
Cheers.
