Limitations only exist if you let them

This was a fall back week in my training schedule. I ran 48 kms and endured 3 hours of CrossFit. I threw in the extra CrossFit workout because Carleigh was visiting and I wanted her to check it out. We went to the Saturday morning class. I even bullied @suzesilver into joining us.

Our skill was the deadlift. This is a great exercise for just about every body part including the core, shoulders, back and legs. It’s been a really long time since “pumped”iron and I am really enjoying the skills we’re learning through CrossFit.

I didn’t have too much trouble with my form or the weight. We did a few sets of 5 lifts before we moved on to our workout of the day (WOD).

Our WOD was box jumps and push ups. We started with 2 box jumps, 2 push ups in one minute. Then we did 4 and 4 in one minute and so on until we ran out of time. I nearly finished 16 and 16. I liked the jumping. It’s the push ups that I struggled with.

Carleigh said she loved every minute of it. Now she’s going to check out this new CrossFit gym that opened in Edmonton. Score one for Team Rhyno!

Today I ran 20 kms. It felt harder than last week’s 26 km-LSD. No doubt, it was the extra CrossFit workout and the alcohol that I consumed this weekend that weighed me down.

No worries. I won’t beat myself up. This was a good training week.
