   I've run a handful of times recently, all right around 4.5 miles and I was determined to get over 5 today. What an odd statement considering what I used to do. Anyway, I did 5.32 and it was great. I went slow and steady to not konk out. The one thing I've noticed since running again is that my feet and ankles aren't used to the pounding. They get pretty sore by the end.

     Nice run... maybe try playing around with different shoes to deal with the pounding on the feet and ankles?

     I was thinking that today. I've had my current shoes about a year and even though I haven't done a lot of miles in them, they are pretty old. Plus, running in my minimalist shoes at CrossFit then switching to running shoes probably doesn't help.

   Holy crap! First run since January 1st. It wasn't as slow as I thought it would be, especially considering I went to CrossFit this morning (and had a snatch pr @ 90lbs!). I weigh 8 more lbs since starting CF, which feels like is all in my booty and shoulders, and my stride felt different.

   This weeks workout is 12 minute AMRAP 150 wall balls (14lb ball), 90 double unders and 30 muscle ups. I struggled through the wall balls, but got them done and busted out 90 double unders in about 90 seconds...and then twiddled my thumbs for the remaining time bc I haven't learned double unders yet. Ugh.

   So poooped after doing 13.2 again on Sunday. Lift was 2 position cleans- one from above the knee and one from below. I got to 110lbs, which I was happy with considering my 1rm squat clean is 115lbs. The WOD was 2 6 min AMRAPS- 50 double unders and 10 burpees, then 10 dumb bell thrusters and 1 rope climb. I killed it on the double unders and was pretty slow on the thrusters and I didn't even do it RX (used 20lbs, instead of 30lb) bc my shoulders and arms were so tired.

    2nd attempt @ 13.2 (10 min AMRAP 5 shoulders to overhead, 10 deadlift- both at 75lbs- and 15 box jumps). Upped my score from 214 to 231. I was more efficient w/ the lifts but I did slow down more on the box jumps (I actually did step ups). My hips were tight from doing the workout on Thurs and it was excruciating the last couple minutes.

    2nd attempt at 13.1. I improved my score (128 up from 122) but didn't make my goal of 130 (finishing the 2nd round of snatches). My biggest challenge in CF workouts is pushing the pace/intensity in workouts w/ a lot of weight. Hopefully this will come w/ time and experience. And just sucking it up and pushing.

    Lift was 2 push press OTM for 6 minutes. My arms are worked from yesterday so I only went to 78lbs. WOD was 10 cal row, 20 push-ups, 30 sit-ups, 4 bear crawls. Thank god there wasn't weight in the workout bc I am pooped after yesterday. Apparently I'm a super fast bear crawler. Who knew? Too bad this skill can't be applied elsewhere.

But of course I'm doing it one more time and split snatching to see how many more reps I can get.

    My body was really tired today. Lift was 1rm dead lift. I was hoping to get 200lbs, but I haven't done this lift since December and my form got iffy once it started getting heavy so the trainer had me stop at 195. Going for 200 plus next time! The WOD had clapping push-ups, something I hadn't done before. I got 60 of them done. Phew!

I was the only one to finish the OHS and I got 6 pull-ups done. Then we worked on double unders and stringing together kipping toes to bar. Nap time!

    Lift was 5 x 2 OTM push press @ 105lbs. It felt pretty easy but the trainer said to stay at that weight. The WOD had a lot of double unders and I was pumped for it, but then couldn't get more than 2 in a row. So frustrating! I stayed after class to unfunk w/ my jump rope and finally did and got 70 DUs in a row. Take that jump rope!!
