WOD from Hades

I'm not sure off the top of my head what day of the Challenge this is. Paleo has been out the window for the past month. Sad! Someone posted on our CFA website: "I have a compulsive personality, and it unfortunately goes both ways. Getting back on track is harder than overcoming urges and staying the course." I totally agree with that 100% when it comes to my journey with this. Tomorrow is pay day, which means trip to the grocery store this weekend. I only have a few weeks left on the Challenge and I want to finish strong, strong, strong. This weekend, though, we are going to Myrtle Beach to visit the fam, and so I am sure that will mean cheat, cheat, cheat. :)

Back at CFA today for the first time in 12 days. Ouch, that hurt!

Strength/Skill - Overhead squat. I had never worked on this as a strength/skill before. The goal was to work up to a heavy single. I ended up at 38#. Stability was good, though, so hopefully next time this skill comes around I will be able to up the ante more and more.

WOD from Hades - This is not the official name, but that is what I am calling it.

20 min AMRAP

12 DU or 36 SU (SU for me... we have a jump rope at home though, so I need to start practicing the DU so that I can start doing them in the WODs)

5 power snatch (Hadn't done this since another killer WOD during OnRamp - 28#)

200m run

1 min rest

I got through 5 rounds + 50m.

Lesson #1: I need to learn how to run. During one of my 200m "runs" Randy came out with me to show moral support (wonderful coach, by the way). He started talking about how technique is everything. I took that as a diplomatic way of saying I needed to learn what I am doing. 

Lesson #2: I am running a 5K in six weeks. I need to be running all the time.

Lesson #3: Springtime is here, and then into summer = more and more WODs with running. Waaaaaahhhh!!!

Lesson #4: Maybe you shouldn't do a CF WOD less than 24 hours after giving blood. 

This was the worst WOD I've done in a while... and I say "worst" because my mental game was complete crap. I haven't had a case of the "I can't do it"s since my insecurity of showing up for a CFA class vanished about two months ago. I hope when we repeat this I kill it and show myself what I'm made of, cause this morning sucked.
