No modifications ;-)

It was a brutal WOD again!  First time I've done an 800 meter run at once and my WOD wasn't even modified. 

The wall balls were tough yet again but I think I might have done a little better than yesterday with them.  I just have to continue to work on the squats.  That is my goal for the month of May.  I will master those evil things once and for all! 

I have to gain my confidence back with the box jumps.  I have to work my way up from that one weight.  I sucked at them tonight and didn't push myself hard enough with them and slacked off.  Only one I'm hurting is myself when I do that. 

Now, those jump ropes from hell are a just a plain evil nightmare!  Wonder if I took my shoes off and tried it if that would help.  I got so frustrated and so mad at myself when trying to do them.  I remember after the first round I just threw the jump rope down.  Maybe I should buy a supply of jump ropes because as frustrated as I get at them I'm liable to break a few. 

And those 2 runs of 800 meters, one at the beginning and one at the end were killer.  I have to say I belong to an amazing group of Crossfitters.  It is always so good to see Sabrina come to the WOD.  She is amazing and so encouraging.  She even came and ran the last  600 meters with me of the last run.  And that was after doing her entire WOD.  Everyone I've gotten to know is encouraging and several have come along to be beside me with the last part of my runs. 

Now, if I could just get the coaches to quit comparing times, at least for me.  I just don't like being compared to or told to keep up with someone else's time.  Jeremiah did the same thing tonight that Jim did last night.  I started to say something and just retracted what I said.  I just want to keep up with myself and continue to improve and get healthy.  I know they just want me to push harder and try harder and I have to remember that.
