It's the first Friday of the month. That means a benchmark workout. I am still not really allowed to pick up weight or do pullups with my shoulder. Michael was an easy go-to workout that I've done only once before at another CF box. We don't have GHE machines, so I just took two big tires and tucked my feet into one of them and made it work.
In honor of Navy Lieutenant Michael McGreevy, 30, of Portville, NY, who was killed in Afghanistan June 28 2005.
Doing hero workouts really help me put my own life into perspective. I keep each hero in my mind when I'm fighting through the workouts. I may be suffering a little bit, but it's nothing compared to their sacrifice and the suffering their family and friends went through. I am happy that we have the opportunity to honor some of America's true heros.
WOD"Michael"
3 Rounds for Time
800 meter run
50 Abmat Situps
50 Back Extensions
Time: 25:50
The last time I did this workout I finished in 22 minutes flat. That means I added on nearly 4 minutes. I was busting a--. There are a few things that I think may account for the added time.
- I wonder if our 800 meters is different from the other locations' 800 meters.
- Last time I was doing the workout with a bunch of people. I wonder if the "mob mentality" has a positive impact on your workout. You know. Sometimes you push yourself because you see someone else going hard and you think, "If they can do it, I can do it."
- I am still not nearly in the shape I was pre-surgery. I'm carrying a few more pounds than I was the last time I did Michael.
