Yes Ma’am!
June 27, 2008
So, not daring to challenge the powers that be, I got off my back side and put in the work again tonight. I’ve decided to go for a Crossfit-ish approach in that I will do the Wods, adapted to my level and available equipment. This means most barbell stuff will be replaced with dumbbells, etc. I will stay four days behind, to give me some flexibility, and some time to figure out subs and adaptions. I am aware that this makes it not-crossfit, but nuts to that, I’m doing something.
So, today – 4 days is 080623, Run 5K. I absolutely abhor running anything more than 400m, so I’ll sub either cycling or rowing for these ones. Tonight was a nice warm night, so cycling appealed the most. Did a different route tonight than usual, a slight elevation for the first 5K’s then turn around and roll back down. Pushed it a bit uphill, but felt both the ankle and the dodgy knee, so took it easy on the way back. 10Ks altogether in 28:38.
So tomorrow is Snatch 1-1-1-1-1-1-1. Will do dumbbell snatches and concentrate mainly on proper form. Haven’t done DB snatches in ages, so need the practice. Have also secured a suitable length of pvc pipe to practice similar barbell moves.
Boring stats for future reference
