Box Jumps!

It's been a bit of an interesting week with box jumps this week. One Wednesday, Coach G had me do some as part of my warm up and it didn't go so well.

Post Crash

 

I finished my warm up with the 3 I had left, then later that day went back in for Open Gym and did 10 more, just to get up on it again. I got up once on Thurs or Friday (can't remember which) and wasn't able (mentally) to do more.

Today I went for the Team WOD and had my ass handed to me. It seemed like others did as well, but holy shit did I suck. It's been awhile since I had to have others pull some of my share. Definitely not good for the ego.

Afterward I stuck around to do a few box jumps. The fear of crashing makes it HARD to get back up. But I did. Twenty-five times. At least, 25 times at 20". Then I decided that I wanted to go for a PR. I flipped the box over to the 24", had a bit of a stare down with it, then jumped my ass up on top! I even gave out a cry of joy, which NEVER happens! (It was kind of a bummer b/c Coach M is out of town and I feel like she should've seen me be excited. But I made sure to text her!)

Twenty-four inches on the box was one of my CrossFit Resolutions for the year! I'd gotten 23.5" on plates earlier this month, but wasn't able to get up on the 24" for the box. Getting my ass kicked by the Team WOD pissed me off and got me up on that today though!!

And just for a little visual, here's what the leg is looking like today:

Ew.

Fun Times!!

It's interesting to see the searches people do that end up reaching your blog. Someone searched for CrossFit and childbirth and linked to here from there. Of course, I had to repeat that search. And sure enough... my blog was listed a page in. I don't think it's exactly what people are wanting to read though b/c I was saying how the torture of childbirth ends and CF's torture keeps going! Ha!

Anyway! At the older child's school, we did a Flash Mob as an April Fool's joke yesterday. It was awesome so I thought I'd share!!
