CrossFit – January 2009
I used to post daily workout reports here when I first started doing CrossFit, but I fell out of the habit when I realized that I doubt very much any of you really were that interested in reading them. I also became less and less interested in writing them.
In the last few months of 2008, I got out of the daily habit of working out, sometimes blowing off my workouts for a week, feeling bad about slipping on the progress I’ve made, and hitting a hard workout full tilt. That’d result in me being sore for a week, during which I’d blow off plenty of other workouts.
In December, I completed two workouts, after an average of seven per month since August. That’s pathetic. I’m not going to reach my goals doing one workout and taking three, five, seven, or nine rest days. Lock it back down, Apollo.
As part of my Goals for 2009, I want to complete 80% or more of my scheduled workouts. In order not to be totally wiped out this month on the three-on-one-off schedule, I pulled the weight back to 80% to build momentum. As of today’s workout (tomorrow, my birthday, is a rest day), I have finished 23 of 23, the first 100% month since November 2007 (wow).
In those 23 workouts, I set a personal best on Barbara (5 rounds for time: 20 pullups, 30 pushups, 40 situps, 50 squats) by 15 minutes, equaled my personal best at Nicole (Max rounds in 20 minutes of: 425 meter run, 10 pullups), and built a good base of momentum from which to achieve my 80% completion.
And now, bring on February!
