KETTLEBELLGUY

44 degrees, light rain this morning for 6AM Crossfit class.

Eric, Kelly, Tomas (back from a few days in Brazil), Terrie and Angie with Brian and Jerry coaching.

For our skill this morning we practiced our Double Unders (jump rope). I had to take my fivefingers off and put on my socks. When I try the Double Unders (and miss each time) it tears up my ankles as the rope cuts into the bare skin. I got a couple of double unders in but never twice in a row. It’s just a matter of practice.

I enjoyed this mornings workout. I used the 8 inch box for the box jumps and actually did box jumps rather than step ups. I am going to try that for awhile. I still need to try the 24 inch box jump but I have a bit of a fear factor going. I think that if I were 25 again I would just jump up and try the 24 inch but I have a real fear of getting injured doing the box jump. The reality is that I would be far better off always doing the 8 inch box and not getting injured and taken out of action than trying for the 24 inch and getting hurt.

Eating—Eating continues on track. Chicken on sale this week so needless to say, I am eating a lot of chicken.

What hurts today—Left arm is much better. Still some twinges but much improved. The aching in my right knee is also much reduced. My back has been pain free for several weeks now so, overall, I am doing well. Did not sleep much last night but not because of pain. Just could not sleep. I do have a bit of a sore throat and a little congestion that I hope will just go away. Started to notice it after class this morning.
