KETTLEBELLGUY

59 degrees this morning. Should be in the 20′s by this time tomorrow. At Crossfit for 6AM class. Ron K., Tomas and Terri H (back from Florida) with Brian coaching.

Worked on double unders for our skill this morning. I have learned that when doing double unders I need to wear my regular gym shoes and socks. The smack of the rope against my ankles with just my fivefingers on is no good.

Very slow improvement with the double unders. I was getting to the point that I was doing 4 singles and then a double under and then it would all fall apart. It will get better with time.

I really was not into my workout this morning. My energy level was low. While I think Turkish Get Ups are a wonderful exercise and a valuable one for me to do that does not mean I enjoy doing them. It’s a long way down and a long way up and they use a lot of energy that I did not have this morning. Rather than let that bother me I turned today into an active rest workout. I kept moving but I was moving in my own little world, somewhat disconnected from the rest of the class. I can always tell when I am having one of those days because someone will say “Wow, you are not talking much today”, which tells me I must talk a lot on a normal day. And I thought I was such a quiet guy.
