My Last Workout

Sunday, November 30;

I guess it's fitting that the final day of November would be my final official CFOT workout for a bit. I expect I'll be in tomorrow to celebrate a VERY special birthday for one Crossfitter, but no working out for me.

Andrea put together a great little workout (it actually wasn't little at all, it could be better defined as "huge") while Jerry was off celebrating the holidays in New York. It was in celebration for another Crossfitter's birthday.. my newest Facebook friend.. Lt. Col. Dan and a very special anniversary. It was a good send off for me even though I had to sub out a few movements.

Take a look..

WOD:
AMRAP
1 muscleup (subbed out ring dips, then chair dips.. these hurt)
7 box jump burpees
7 pullups
5 Thrusters (subbed out front squats - 85lbs)

This was a group workout.. but it's kind of unclear what the final score was, but I was in pain which makes me happy.

I went for heavier front squats instead of a lighter Thruster. The Front squat at 85lbs felt really good. I really woked on keeping that upright position and I pushed me knees out really hard on the way up. It worked to limit the knee buckling. I was delighted to see some improvement here.

My legs will be getting a lot of workouts in the next few months, so I'm looking forward to getting them stronger.

Thanks Kevin! I don't know when I'll be back in the blogosphere. It could be a week or so, depends on how stir crazy I get at home.

I'm glad I got to see you Sunday, even if it was just briefly!

I didn't know the surgery was coming up the quickly. Or actually I lost track. At any rate, good luck with it and especially the rehab.

We'll miss you for a bit. But can't wait to make fun of the shoulder harness!
