Thoughts for a "Dirty 30" WOD?

TI realized this week that in just under 4 months, I will be 3 decades old...30!  THIRTY! 3X10.  Wow.  When I was younger, all I wanted to be was older.  Now all I want to be is the age that I feel that I am (21...lol.)  In all seriousness, I wouldn't change my life at all (other than if I could have been an active child.  Despite my parents' best efforts, I could care less about physical activiity.)  I love my age and the knowledge and maturity (at times) that I have acquired.  October 22nd is my big day!  This just so happens to be a Saturday, so I can't think of a better way to end off my 30th year/begin my 31st than with a badass WOD at Element CrossFit.  I am now taking suggestions for a workout.  30 reps of 30 exercises?  30-22-10 of something(s)?  I know I will be doing my RXD Fran (finally did a pronated kipping pullup today, yay!), but I can push that to the Sunday or Monday.

This was a busy weekend. Element Open on Saturday as well as Legh's wedding.  Both awesome events! Thanks Stove for being an amazing date! :)

Great group of people there to cheer on the amazing athletes!

Today I was up early and at the gym by just after 9.  I say that is early becuase I didn't get to sleep until about 1:30.  So glad we got home safely because some asshole on the 401 nearly drove into Steve and I!  So scary!!!


WOD today was: Strict chin up work (still can't break 4-6 singles), Front Squat 95x5x5 , Bench Press 90x3x3
Metcon: 3 rounds of 10 pullups, 10 russian kb swings, 10 squat cleans.  Prior to the WOD I attempted some kipping pullups with overhand grip and I finally got a few!  Yay!  I used a thin black band for the WOD though, otherwise it would have taken me forever to complete.  I'm so glad I am progressing at least!  I used the 1.5p KB for the swings.  That was pretty much the break.  Russian swings are not that difficult for me.  85# for squat cleans.  I had been avoiding SC's for a long time because I suck at them.  Lately my M.O. is to do those things I suck at: pullups, skipping, front squats, HSPUS...list goes on.  But I hate things less when I do them more often and start to notice progress.  The SC's were challenging after those front squats and I find them difficult to rep out quickly.  It was 15:10 WOD.  Decent in my mind.

This week will be a short work week because Stove and I are taking Thursday off and Friday is Canada Day!  I'm going to try to jam all my strength and pullup work into the next 3 days and do some running and boydweight metcons while we are at the cottage.  Including standup paddleboarding...YAAAAAY! :)

Tomorrow...plan is to work on skipping/double unders, do "Annie" (last time I did it with DU attempts it took me something like 18 minutes...so embarassing!) and possibly a run WOD.  Now that school is out for the kiddies, I can go use the track to run on.  We will see...no promises :P

Holmes and Longwood ladies :) (so annoyed about my strap sticking out!)
