11 Days In

Eleven days into August and I'm pretty okay with how things are going!

The Burpee Challenge has gone well!  The first 4 days were hard, primarily from an achy deltoid muscle and an oblique that got tired of my bad form quickly, but rather than babying it, which I'd typically do, I kept going until I needed an overall rest day.  Low and behold, the day after rest day, all was good again.  It seemed like it actually helped to push it a little before just resting.  And my burpees are already showing improvement, as are my push ups!

Pull Up Program - I'm trucking right along.  I try to ignore any progress I'm making, because I've made progress before, and couldn't finish.  So let's just say, I'm doing the plan.

Marathon Training - I'm at 26.9 miles for the month, and the Nike App seems to think I should run 41 miles this week.  I'm not sure how I feel about that.  And this freaking rain!!

Crossfit - This is going well!  Today we did Karen - 150 Wall Balls, 14#, and 10' line.  11:11.  It's nothing to jump up and down over, but I did it, without scaling and without going into the next class.   And I've had some other good workouts. I pushed through a lot of ring dip negatives today, which I feel was an accomplishment.

I'm at that in-between point now when I can physically RX some things but if I do, I'm going to be the last one done.  However, scaling as recommended has me blasting through things.  It's a hard to find balance.  I think that's what I really liked about doing the open - no scaling!  You just have to do and if you're the last one, you just are.  Oh, and having Kyla standing  there shouting at me the whole time helped too, lol!
