Taking a Moment

Wednesday, May 21;

Today had the makings of being a great workout. I had a little pentup frustration about something that had happened earlier in the week, and usually Crossfit is the safest and most effective way for me to release some stress.

You can see Steven in the back ground. He's kicking my butt.

We were doing a running workout today. It was one we had done last fall, and I remembered liking it. I was totally focused and ready to cook off some steam. I went through round 1 like a blaze of fury, round 2 was similar.. until I hit the middle of the run. My whole body started cramping up. It went from my lower back straight through to my abs.. then headed down to my legs. By the time I got back to the Wall Ball/Jumping Weighted squat station I was dying. I did something that I rarely do. I stopped!!! It must have been a 30 second pause.. just dead still, waiting for my cramping to calm down. Once I felt like I could work through the pain, I banged out 20 jumping squats then moved on to KB swings. Then, the same thing. I couldn't move. After another 30 seconds or so I started working again. Until I finished my swings and went for my final round of running. It was brutal.
