Crossfit: If It Were Easy, It'd Be Your Mom

I have this problem. When I'm doing great in Crossfit, I feel fabulous. When I'm not, I feel shitty. Seriously. So since the last few WODs haven't been spectacular, combined with my crappy ankle, I've been bummed. I went back to train last night, and I do have to say that I'm proud of this: I'm right on track to get my 200 WODs for the year! That's a big accomplishment for me, and being 2 full months into 2011 and still on track is huge. Danny was in a car accident this weekend so I didn't get in to do my 3rd WOD over the weekend, which bummed me out, but unlike the Rachel of old I just got my shit together and came in. My head is all over the place, though, which doesn't make for a fabulous workout. I think (and Shain might not agree) that I'm past making too many excuses and I'm getting better at just doing "it"...whatever the "it" of the moment is. As long as it's not box jumps, obviously.

The whole 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 thing is not easy for me. Especially since (this is so ridiculous) I usually spend the first few rounds re-doing the math in my head to figure out when I'm past 50% of the workout. Yes, it is after I've done the 10-9-8 rounds, but that doesn't make 7-6-5 any easier. But I do analyize the percentage done throughout the whole workout. Does this make me Rain Man? I don't know. ;)

That must of been one hellish workout. Good to see I've made some improvements!

OMG. 22 min. I would kill myself.
