CrossFit at 6AM. The fog was thick as pea soup. This was the heaviest fog I can remember in a very long time. Not just pockets of fog here and there but a solid blanket everywhere.
Stacia, Tina and Tom with Brian coaching. Have not seen Jerry for awhile. I noticed this morning that as I looked in the mirror I almost felt good about myself. Need to have Jerry back in the gym to help me deal with these strange feelings.
Not a very good night for me last night. Very restless and my right heel was really hurting, keeping me awake. I suspect that it was the double unders yesterday that has aggravated it even more than it was.
Our workout this morning had sets of 150 jump ropes and I considered doing some rowing as a substitute to give my heel a break however that would have taxed my arms which were going to have to work hard in the WOD. I went ahead and did the jump ropes but did the smallest jumps possible.
The WOD is very deceiving when you just read it. There was a lot of work. It comes out to
-
600 Jump Ropes
60 Push Jerk
60 Power Snatch
60 Push Ups
I seemed to be moving at extra slow speed this morning. My transition from the power snatch to the push up was very slow as I fought a lot of pain getting up and down and my jump ropes were very broken. I know this WOD was designed to be fast but I was not much of a sprinter this morning. Best news was that I did not quit and I finished everything with reasonable form using 95 lbs for the Jerk and Snatch.

Eating—Staying on plan. Made another batch of red, green, yellow peppers and onion with ground turkey breast yesterday. Hard to believe that tomorrow is weigh in again (and also the last day of July).
What hurts today—Biggest issue it the back of the right heel. Other than feeling like I have been run over by a truck as a result of the WOD I am feeling great.
You have given me very little to look forward to at the 4:30 class. More jump-ropes are not needed today after the great struggle yesterday to get the double-unders.
I am right there with you on that Steve. My body has jumped enough.
