Still Hope

Today was full of challenges!  I went to workout this morning and evening.  This morning I did the regular WOD and then tonight I worked on all those wonderful things I haven't accomplished but will. 

This morning's WOD was called HOPE.  Hope isn't really very nice because she literally works your butt off.  It was for 3 round and you did as many of the following for a minute each and at the end of each round you got a 1 minute break.

3 Rounds for 1 minute each
Burpees
Snatch Cleans
Box Jumps
Thrusters
Pull Ups

Burpees were challenging that I finally learned how to jump down instead of crawl to the floor and then pop my knees and legs out.  It was still a challenge to get back up without crawling though.  But I did feel like I finally made some improvement. 

Snatch Cleans and Thrusters - Let me just say all these weight movements using the bar are completely confusing. 

Box Jumps - I added a 25lb. weight to the 45lb. weight but never got a jump onto them.  I came close but never succeeded.  But I will! 

Pull Ups - They're the same. 

It was tough but it was a good WOD and I felt good afterwards even if I did get confused on the lifts. 

Then I went back to the 5:30 class and worked on some stuff.  The coach created a workout for me to work on things.  I warmed up with a 400 meter run that took me 3:52.                  

3 Rounds for 1 minute

Squats
Mountain Climbers
Jump Rope
Box Steps
Jumping Jacks

Squats - I was trying very hard to stay focused and keep myself from leaning forward. 
Mountain Climbers - Those are ridiculously hard but I really need to work on them.  Getting both feet to move at the same time was interesting. 
Jump Rope - Those are still hard but getting better. 
Box Steps - That was a huge challenge.  I know I need to get away from leaning on the wall to get myself up.  Such a mental challenge for me.  I got a 45lb. weight to help me step up and that helped. 
Jumping Jacks - Those literally kick my butt.  Something so simple is so freakin' hard. 

It was a good day!  Appreciative my coach let me come wotkout twice.
