Zanna: First DNF, Im not sure what the deal was tonight, the jump rope is tough but I just mentally wasn't there. Had a lot of distractions tonight. Weight: 148.6
45/55/60 DNF
Casey: Feel really bad that I could not finish but at the same time I felt like I was going to throw up. Unfortunately this WOD was just too hard and I will try to push harder tomorrow. Also Im perplexed at the weight this week as it shows I have gained several pounds but also lost inches. Weight: 353
65/85/105 DNF
So we turned a little yard work into an anaerobic workout today. We probably shoveled somewhere near 800 pounds of earth in our back yard today and it was just the two of us. As we were working I suggested that Zanna get the timer and we do 5 min of shoveling as fast as we can then pause for 2 min, rinse and repeat. Not only did this present a challenge but it allowed us to work at a manageable pace and we tore through half of the project in about 4 hours. We will update pictures as soon as we can, just wanted to share how using the Crossfit mentality can fit into your regular routine and turn it into an effective workout while helping you finish a task ahead of goal.
Zanna: I am so sore right now! TGIF backed by FRAN was hard!! I tried to do the 65 then tried 55 and ended up doing 45. I don't remember the exact count from my max sit ups/push ups from August but I think I at least doubled it :) Very glad the weekend is here! Feeling more familiar with the power clean in the warm up.
Push Ups: 45 -- Sit Ups: 46 -- TGIF: 11:52 (45lbs)
Casey: Over all this was probably the hardest week. Doing FRAN and then this the following night really made the muscles sore again. And the looking to the several hundred pounds of earth we are going to be moving in our backyard will leave us one good day of rest and I am looking forward to getting back to it on Monday.
Push Ups: 42 -- Sit Ups: 46 -- TGIF: 14:24 (135lbs)
Zanna: 10:24 (45lb) Fran was HARD! I did not want to do this one especially after watching Casey do Fran...but I persevered none the less. I do think the stigma around Fran made it mentally harder. Figured out I needed to open up my hips to get deeper. Not sure if I had my elbows up enough though. Do look forward to seeing how I do next time I do Fran!! I am feeling more flexible. We are 1 day out of our 1 month mark! Next step is to focus on getting proper nutrition, making sure I get breakfast and Casey gets full meals. Excited to see the difference eating better makes!
Casey: 16:22 (95lb) I did not find out until after the work out that Zanna had too much weight on the bar. I was only supposed to do 65 instead of the 95 but it was hard it was grueling and it felt so damn good when I was done! Look forward to Fran's next visit when Im stronger.
