A Pistol I am not
>> Wednesday, October 14, 2009
It's 7:23 AM and already I'm thinking today will be "one of those days." First, I slept an extra 10 minutes after my alarm went off b/c I couldn't get out of bed. You know when you're lying there and you are convinced you have all the time in the world? Then you shockingly realize you have to get your ass out of bed and start getting ready? That's how I woke up this morning.
Then I biked to the gym and should have done the workout for Wednesday as you can see by the sidebar...except I realized two things:
1. I didn't feel like working out
2. I can't do a pistol nor could I even complete a modified pistol with my back on a ball against the wall.
A pistol (that's what CrossFit calls it) is really just a one-legged squat.
Here's a video of a "pistol":
I saw this video last night even before going to the gym this morning. It looks fairly doable, or so I thought.
But nope, add it to the list of things Kelsalynn can't do, right up there with double unders.
After my two realizations, I opted for a 1 mile run and 50 sit-ups followed by some stretching. Then I headed to the locker room to get ready for work.
After yesterday's WOD of 50 thrusters, 70 cleans, and 100 sumo deadlift high pull's, my legs and shoulders are killing me...but in a good way of course.
Wish me luck on another day of eating right. Yesterday I ate one of the pink ribbon sugar cookies I told you about. Someone bought it for me this time so how could I resist? :P

You are crazy. It does not look doable! It looks like a really quick way to make you fall over onto your ass! Holy bat signal! I'm blown away you'd even think to attempt these crazy things. A run and 50 situps sounds like a good solid workout to me, but what do I know - I think these "pistol" things are insane.
That looks pretty tough to me!
Good luck witht he rest of the day!
I am amazed at how much you have accomplished by 7:30 am. even if I'm up at 5:30- I've generally accomplished little more than turning on the cartoons for the kiddos at that hour :)
