Thursday: CrossFit
Even with bands assisting me, the ring dips were tough! So happy I found CrossFit -- even though I get my ass kicked regularly by the workouts, it's exactly what I need: more strength and better overall fitness.
Friday: Run
Decent week overall -- still having to take multiple days off between sessions, especially when I learn a new skill. Taking the long view, not expecting results overnight, working on form and staying uninjured to the greatest extent possible. (Please use the handy social media buttons to share this post.)

Monday: Run, then mini-WOD
Sunny but COLD at less than 10 degrees! Got a slight ice cream headache at first, but didn't last long. Thought I might be overdressed, but was glad for many layers, though balaclava and thicker gloves stayed in my pockets. Followed up with a mini-WOD to try CrossFit out at home and also introduce it to my 12 year old son -- he liked it, I think:
Tuesday: CrossFit- AMRAP (the WOD style I like the least) in 12 minutes:
- 3 Handstand Push-ups (I did a handstand hold)
- 6 Pistols
- 9 Pull-ups
- Post Workout: Perform 1 max Ab Plank for time.
AMRAPs are the worst, because just when you feel like you're going to die, you look at the clock and there is still time remaining. No one wants to just stand there looking foolish, so somehow you don't pass out, but instead keep adding reps. Really tough mentally.
