Making Time

Wow it's been what seems like a year since I last posted anything. Between work and snow and working out and life in general all my blogging time seemed to just fade away. I know that if I am going to make this work I have to make the time to do it. Just like anything else that is important to me. If it matters then I make the time.

Last night the workout at CrossFit Swift kicked my tail. It's amazing how much your mental state as well as your diet matter in doing these workouts. I did not eat terribly yesterday but my mental state was not where it needed to be in order to have a great workout. You could see it on my face that my energy level was low. The good and the bad news was that there were only two of us there. Myself and Deborah. The good part was that it was going to be a laid back low energy workout. The bad part was that it was going to be a laid back low energy workout. And this one was not one that needed to be low energy or laid back.

However it was what it was. One thing I have learned so far in this life is that you need to be able to take things as they come and positively accept them and work with what they offer. Just like people, if you try to make a situation something it is not then it probably won't work out too well. But if you take it as it comes and learn from it then you at least take something away that you can use later.

So the workout was this:

5 rounds for time of:

10 "Curtis P Complex" 65#
15 Knees to Elbows
20 KB Swings 55#

Note: Curtis P Complex - With a barbell, execute Hang Squat Clean followed by a Racked Lunge (1 ea leg) (racked meaning the barbell is at shoulder level in a front squat position), followed by a Push Press.

It took me a total of 62minutes to complete all of this. After round 1 I kept looking at the board and the clock and thinking - I have how many of these to do????? But I kept on going. One by one I did them all. The hardest part for me was the knees to elbows. That is so taxing on my shoulders.

All I can say is I am glad that is over. My legs are sore and it takes a lot to get them that way. But as my girl Mai would say - ''It's a good sore''.
Another night gone, another workout done.
