Today's WOD was brutal! It really didn't look that hard but I should have known better. Not that I didn't think it was going to be hard but I didn't expect it to kick my butt as hard as it did. I won't lie, it wasn't my favorite WOD. My entire body is sore from my arms to my back and legs.
It was another one of those 50-40-30-20-10 of wall balls, box jumps and kettle bells. A Hero WOD named after Navy Seal Morrison.
Those wall balls kicked my butt! I moved the box lower so that was a shock to my butt. That first time going that low was eye opening. I started out trying not to sit on that box when I went down but halfway through it I was so tired I found myself using my arms to push up on my legs. Not exactly how those wall balls are to be done. I think the only thing I did right was try to concentrate on getting on my heels and the outside of my feet instead of letting my feet lean in.
Box jumps were disappointing. I kept trying to jump up and never got it. I suck at these! I wanted to stand up on the box but that idea got squashed. I was stopping too long and the coach was trying to keep me moving due to the length of the workout. Really disappointed in these. But the only choice I have is to work harder and do better!
Kettle bells got the best of my arms. That 26lb gets extremely heavy! I actually think that may be the best thing I do at the gym. At least I never hear any of the coaches yell at me when I'm doing them.
I really wanted to throw a run in there even if it was just 200 meters. I should have after I cooled down. I just want to get better at too many things at one time. I have to learn it's one day at a time and 1 WOD at a time.
