I hate Michael...

Okay, Okay, not my husband Michael... I'm actually quite smitten by him, I'm referring to the WOD "Michael."

I say I hate it, but I secretly love it. It kicks my booty.

3 rounds-
1/2 mile run
50 back extensions
50 sit-ups

The last time I did "Michael" was May 22nd. At this time, it was one month after my half marathon at Lake Havasu so running was absolutely out of the question... I could barely run 10 feet without my hips and calves hurting let alone 1/2 mile 3 times! I opted for biking the cardio sprints instead of running.

My hips have been feeling really good lately, which is a relief. I was able to complete the 1.5 mile sprints without any problems. Actually, I had kind of forgotten I even suffer from hip problems they felt so good! Woot!

In May, my time was 26:53.
Today, my time was 25:42.

Take that Michael!

I have to admit though, I get really close to barfing at the end of those sprints. Well, not the first sprint, but after the 2nd and 3rd, I'm feeling quite barf-tastic.

This morning I saw I had a new comment on my last post that provided some awesome critique of my form. Her name is "Bacon"... I have no idea who she is, but she's obviously another CrossFitter. That's one of the reasons I love CrossFit- everyone helps each other. I wish we had a CF gym close to us to join, I think we'd do it in a heartbeat. I guess we'll just have to wait patiently until Michael opens up his own :)

I'm excited to get back to the gym and take some more pictures (more accurate this time, we'll take the camera not a phone!). I want to take pictures at varying levels so I can see where exactly my form starts to slack off...that's where I need to get back to. Square 1. I'm totally okay with that- it's not like I'm in competition with anyone but myself right?

I had another person ask me yesterday what I'm training for... why do I keep getting this question?
