Catching Up

This has been a weird week for working out.  My schedule has been all over the place, as has been the schedule of my workout partner so things have been a little sporadic.  Here's what went on this week:

Monday: Tried to do the "Barbara" WOD and gave up during the third round.  This was the first workout that didn't complete the entire time I've been doing CrossFit.  I went out the night before, got home at 4 in the morning and James was up before 6.  I now know that I cannot do CrossFit on less than two hours of sleep.  I can do it on 4 hours but not 2.  "Barbara", by the way, was 5 rounds for time of: 20 pullups, 30 pushups, 40 situps, 50 squats.

Tuesday: I honestly can't remember what I did this day.

Wednesday: The WOD was three rounds for time of 10 overhead squats (OHS) and 50 doubleunders.  I subbed 100 regular jumps for the doubleunders.  By the time I had gotten through the second hundred, I had completely peed myself.  How I love the long-term effects of childbirth!  I used the bare 45-pound bar so that I could really focus on balance and OHS technique.  Finished the workout in 4:45.

Thursday: Company event in DC.  My only exercise was trying to balance myself standing on a moving metro train for an hour while drunk.

Friday: Went to Zumba for the first time in a long time.  It felt amazing to be back.  From there, I went to the gym at work and did some snatch practice with a 9 pound pole and then did deadlifts.  I managed to lift 175 pounds using the horrible barbell that they have there and I didn't even use chalk!  That barbell has knurling that seems to have been designed specifically to rip all the skin off your palms.  I guess that barbell and I have made peace.  My callouses do hurt a little today though.

Other stuff: I got my weightlifting shoes this week and I love them!  I need to get to Bally's on a day when I've rested well the day before and try them out by lifting heavy.  Also, I ordered a women's 15kg barbell yesterday from Rogue Fitness.  I'm hoping I can get my hands around it better since the bar diameter is a little smaller.  It's a used one from one of the CrossFit Regionals games so I feel like it's going to come with some awesome energy since it's been lifted by some of the strongest, badass women in the world.
