Out of my Comfort Zone

I stepped out of my comfort zone and walked into the unknown.  It was good to hang out with the folks. 

I think today's WOD was renamed to a Chipper so here goes:
20 Box Jumps
5 Rope Climb attempts
20 Wall Balls
10 Hang Power Cleans
20 Jumping Pull Ups
10 Deadlifts
20 Kettle Bell Swings
10 Power Snatches
20 Burpees

Time: 20:31

It started out with a 400 meter run.  To my surprise my feet wanted to run, in the beginning that is until we hit the hill.  But for the first time I felt my feet be in sync with my head saying RUN!!!  Now, my run isn't like everyone else's but my feet were moving!  I'm proud of that fact!  I still can't keep up with everyone else and that's okay.  I was doing good and then I turned a corner and practically ran into one of the coach's.  Just as I was wanting to walk that wasn't going to happen with him there.  Good thing though as he's tough on me and pushes me and sometimes I need that kick in the butt to keep going.  I was surprised he came back for me.  I didn't expect that.  But it was the kick I needed.  Just that small gesture put some motivation in me.  Now, it didn't end my deer in headlights look or end that overwhelming feeling I had as I waited around to do the WOD but I knew everything was going to be okay.  I should learn to show it more but I tend to hide all my feelings especially positive ones inside and not share.  Working on that.  Need to show more of the positive and less of the negative I feel! 

Got thru the WOD and gave it all I had.  Well, except for those box jumps onto the weight.  I have to work on those and squats a whole lot more.  That's this next week's goal!  I don't know what weight that kettle bell was but I've never lost my footing like I did today.  The coach did give me a smaller weight after a few times.  I was struggling but I wasn't quitting!  Everything else was about the same.  I just never thought I would see 20 burpees.  Really need to work on going down in the right position again and then work on jumping back up.  Time to quit crawling. 

So I have my top 3 things to work on:

1. Squats
2. Box Jumps onto that 45lb. weight
3. Burpees
