Short easy run with Stanley after crossfit, since I was already in exercise clothes and he's been looking sad. Neither of us has been running lately, so he misses it. I feel bad for the poor pup.

boo inchworms! Bench presses, interesting. We've never done those. Do they try to get you to run Pose method? Great job on a long WOD!

The coach told everyone: "Figure out your bench press 3-rep max, so when we do these again like four months from now you'll know." Apparently they don't come up much! They don't really care what the running form is, as long as you go fast. I was out there doing my Slow Runners Club thing when everybody else was booking it

Dang, I'm impressed you can do wall climbs! Have never had rope climb come up in a WOD yet. Good job getting through a tough WOD!

Mom: this is how wall climbs work ... it's not as impressive as scaling a wall! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxlPxr6h_yE I can't get all the way up yet. I get to about a 45 degree angle and stall out there.
Mimi: I dunno if I can climb a rope until I'm much further along. Plus being up there would make me a-scared

Hey, I think you may be my CrossFit twin. I also hate inchworms and have zero body awareness. When the coach says to tighten this or that my internal response is usually "huh" or "wtf?" Well done, new guy!

I usually give up on the inchworms halfway across the room, because everyone else is already done and the coach is already moving on to the next thing.

Getting low with squats is something you develop. You can't get low because you haven't gotten low... the more you do it, the more your flexibility will improve. When I started Crossfit, my injury was full force and I could barely squat at ALL. Yesterday the trainer had to get onto me for not squatting deep because he caught me doing it accidentally. That's a good thing, because it means the only reason I'm not getting low now is habit, not injury. You'll get there.

those box jumps are surprisingly more of a mental challenge than a physical one. I know you can jump 12", a little practice and you'll do it.

lol @ "I am a jerk who works for the press"! I can completely relate to the "felt tired but immediately better afterward". That often happens to me with strength training type of stuff. Nice workout.

Burpees, wall balls, box jumps, that's a tough workout! I think the on ramp program would be even more fun for you. I think then you will learn the basic barbell stuff. Barbell = fun.
