Crossfit: Week 5, Day 1

So last Friday ended up being a no workout day.  My wife was been very supportive of my new workouts and we were having friends over that night for dinner so I chose to stick around and help with that rather than go to the workout and get home at/after the start of the party.  No regrets there.

Saturday my 'box' (still feels weird/culty saying that) moved to their new home about a mile away from their old building.  Everyone showed up to pitch in a move and it was a long morning but the new place is pretty cool.


WEEK 5!
Yesterday was the last day of June and today officially starts my second month!  I wasn't entirely sure I'd be able to keep it going for a whole month, but here I am and so far so good.

The strength workout for yesterday was simulated 1RM for back squats.  I had only done back squats 'alone' once last month but did them several times in a metcon.  So I really wasn't sure what '103%' was for me.  I honestly would have been happy with 150# given how jacked my back can be sometimes, but I got 190#!!  I was honestly really thrilled with this.  I'm not sure what my 1RM max for next week will be.  They are 're-baselining' most of our main lifts next week so it'll be interesting to see where I end up.  A lot of these workouts where they say 'do x%' I just have to wing because I have no baseline to judge that against.

The workout was outside (this is a new ability with our box's location and adds a huge element to the workout).

7 min AMRAP
10 KB swing (did 35#)
200m run

I got 4 rounds done and 1 rep before time ran out.  Actually felt pretty good doing it.  Wasn't 'sprinting' but was pushing myself a bit more.  Still have a LONG LONG way to do with cardio and endurance, but I'm starting to see progress.

MONTH 2!!!!!
