The WOD looked horrible and it was but at the same time it was challenging.  I felt like it would never end but it finally did.  I learned that I can't use gloves on the bar very well as I kept slipping so I took them off and then was told the rope progressions would be easier without gloves and they were. 

I almost got one knee down for the lunges.  I tried them at home and everytime I keep falling.  I have the worst balance. 

I finally moved the weights away from the wall and stepped up on them.  I didn't get the nerve up to jump down but I'm working on it.  I do want to try stepping up on one of the boxes in the next day or two.  I just feel like I need to do that for self confidence.  I need to quit getting scared to try and just do it. 

Those jump ropes get the best of me but I'm going to learn to jump higher so that rope keeps going around me.  That rope is so intimidating but I'm going to defeat it before it defeats me again!

Think I want to try a 35lb. kettlebell and see if I can handle it.  The 26lb. is a good weight and it challenges me but I just want to try something a little harder.  Might try it when there's not a lot of reps at once to do.

Those hang squat cleans still suck!  I still don't know how to do them either.  I am so confused when I try to do this.  I just can't figure out when to squat.  It's not supposed to be that hard but for some reason I just can't get it in my head but I will one day.  I only touched that ball half of those reps but it's better than none at all. 

I didn't get to use the ball for the squats for the wall balls.  I don't know if it was due to time or what but that's what the coach wanted.  I know I was exhausted by the time I got to them so it really didn't phase me when I was told I didn't have to set up for the squats.  I just know me that if I don't have that target to touch I won't go that low.  I was doing the wall balls either way.  But I'm thinking it's really time to pretend that ball is there when it's not and squat low enough.
