Brutal

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.
