8 Single Jump Ropes

There really is a light in the tunnel!  So, today's WOD was brutal but I can say I feel accomplished! 

It consisted of push presses and jump ropes. 

Those push presses were murder!  My arms are like jello.  So glad there was no weight added to that bar.  I have such a hard time getting my right arm up in a straight position.  I really have to get better at using my legs too. 

Those jump ropes were dreaded from the first time I saw them on the board.  And to my surprise I got up to 8 in a row.  I wasn't consistent but I did have some sets of 3 or 4 in a row.  I feel like I accomplished something.  It's a good feeling that for the first time I didn't get so frustrated and sling the jump rope across the room.  Been a while since I felt like I accomplished something.  Just goes to show not giving up pays off as well as listening to the what the coaches tell me to do.  I guess the jump ropes are safe from the wire cutters ;-)

So it appears my flat feet are getting in my way.  I have to concentrate putting my feet out instead of letting them roll in like they automatically do.  Oh, how I hate flat feet!

Talked with the coach tonight.  He was aware but wouldn't tell me where he got his info on how I had been feeling...HMMMM....  Oh well, it doesn't matter.  I feel better that everything is out in the open.  And it's a good feeling to know the 2 coaches that I have talked to listened.  Just as the other one told me to always let him know if something is bothering me this one said the same thing.  I need to learn to get better at speaking up when something really bothers me and not let it go for days.  I saw where this got me discouraged and my workouts weren't given everything I have.  I will work on getting better at figuring things out and speaking up if needed.
