Post-vacay blues & getting back into routine

Stop me if you have heard this one before … there are not enough hours in the day. I don’t know if it’s because I just had a week off but I feel completely frazzled this week. I’m talking distraction with a capital D. 

At work I have found myself taking hours to write a simple sentence. Most of the time I am pretty focused because I want to meet my deadlines. But so far this week I have been one hot crazy distracted mess. I’m calling it the post-vacation blues.

Anyway I made my big return to crossfit this morning. I hate missing classes because it costs so much and I always feel like I am messing up my progress. The box has been following the main crossfit site for WODS this month. If I were more prepared I would have checked the site. (Then maybe I would have skipped.)

Our WOD consisted of rope climbs and front squats. I have never been able to do a rope climb and my legs are tired. I knew this would not be a fun WOD but as they say you must work on your weaknesses. I didn’t go anywhere near the prescribed 135 lb front squat and I modified the rope climb. I need to ease my body back into the routine. I will go twice more this week. I’ll also check out the mobility class. It’s been awhile since I have worked on my stuff.

I felt great though all day. (Other than being distracted at work). I couldn’t wait to run. It was gorgeous out. I ran 1.5 hours directly after work at the Riverbend trails. I had planned for 2 hours but my right ankle was starting to moan. I didn’t want to aggravate the injury too much so I called it a day.
