Lesson learned

It took me about 10 minutes to loosen up my leg muscles before actually getting to tonight's workout. They were still sooo sore and it's been 3 days! But, they're feeling great now so I think it's finally passed.

Tonight's workout turned out to be a doozy. I learned a painful lesson...once you start CrossFit, don't quit! I remember my first few CrossFit workouts where I almost barfed because the intensity was such a shock. Well, tonight was no exception. I did "Eva" and it was sooo hard! Here's what it looks like-

4 rounds
2 1/2 minute sprint on the bike (level 10, 11, 12, 13)
20 kettlebell swings (35# dumbbell)
20 pull-ups (assistance level 55)
TIME = 25:49

During the last round, I almost threw up. I pushed myself so hard on the bike, it did me in! I'm proud of my time though considering I did it back in June for a time of 26:01. I don't consider my time "faster" though just b/c I ran instead of biked which I consider much more strenuous and more difficult to recover from during a workout like this.

On an unrelated note- we leave in 10 days for our trip home to Michigan! I'm so excited to see everyone. Michael found a CrossFit app for his phone on workouts you can do while on vacation, so we plan to do that which will be great. I know we won't be eating as great as we normally do though, which stinks.

So my goal is to go this whole week without cheating! That way when we go on vacation next week, I won't feel quite as bad!

On a 2nd unrelated note- I've officially gone 2 weeks without practicing the piano. That's the longest I've gone so far this year, and not something I'm proud of obviously. I have a piano lesson this coming Saturday (then we leave for vacation mid week) so my goal is to practice 4 times this week (before Saturday)! It should be do-able, I just have to make it a priority which I haven't been doing.

Until tomorrow,
