Today's strength work was the kettlebell snatch. We were to snatch amrap without putting the bell down, I started with a 25# weight and only got to 9 because it was owie on my hands. The next two sets I did 17, better, but not that many, I have a hard time going to that scary place.
The wod was 6 rounds, 20 swings, rest 30 seconds, 15 box jumps. The box jumps reminded me that my legs hurt from the weekend. The swings let me know that my form is terrible. I had been avoiding them the past little bit due to back pain, but today discovered (what Ashley had been telling me all along) that the back pain was a result of poor form when swinging. So I worked on form, with a light kettlebell. It was still hard.

mia
I have been mia...as my computers have been at the repair shop (aka my brother in lawss) and i haven't really felt like blogging. I am in a slump. Some things have improved (like my pull ups kinda) and somethings have deteriorated into an abyss (my deadlift) somethings have stayed pretty medium. I have gotten faster at some running and slower at most wods and I just don't know. My diet has been good and sucky, I am thinking I need to do a whole 30 or something, but at this point I can fit it in before thanksgiving, but i know I will cheat next weekend for homecoming, so blah. This is where I am in recent memory:
We did an endurance wod that entailed 10 jumping air squats, and sprinting 200m. We were supposed to do it 10 times. I did 9 as I was slower than most and Paul felt pity on me. I struggled with walking after that.
We did an endurance wod that involved kettlebell swings and sprinting. I stopped in the middle to go to the bathroom.
We did fran. The strength work before was front squats (my favorite) but I was too nervous for fran, and everything felt heavy. Then we did fran, my time was 3:30 slower than my pr. It was embarrassing.
Today I ran a 5K. I was passed by: an old man, people pushing strollers, 3 men wearing weight vests (who also did burpees and squats during the race, a one legged woman, and a skinny fat couple who ran walked the whole thing, also embarrassing.
