Bench

I usually put plates under my feet when I bench, today I used boxes, I may not have benched heavier but it did feel better, I will definitely continue using boxes instead of plates. 

Commitment

 After a little commitment pep talk from my CF friend yesterday I went home and did it, pulled the trigger and registered.

6am8am

 Ive been doing the 6:00am class a lot, it just works better for my day and pickleball, but today I went back to my favorite 8:00am class--totally different vibe but I love them both.  My friend is talking me into doing the open, I'm not 100% there yet, but close.

Today's workout:

4 Sets

400M Row

Max double dB box step overs

Total:  41 step overs, I did not scale the row, I'm noticing what used to be a hard pace for me to keep is now pretty much where I row so that's a little progress.

Cherries

 Today's crossfit is all running, so as much as I'm trying not to cherry pick that's a lie, I still really am.  Played pickleball, came home and did some lifting and not regretting not running.  Lesson tonight with Todd.

Sweet

 Friday at pickleball class the coach made a very rude comment to me, I don't really think I'm thin skinned but "ouch".  It was about my skills and I'm the first to admit they are often lacking, but that's why I'm in class.  I had a premonition come over me, "shake it off, you're going to win the tournament on Sunday."  I've placed before, but never won. The feeling persisted, even this morning-you're going to win.  I had four matches, the first one I lost and just said to myself "so much for premonitions, now just have fun", I won my next three matches and ended up with enough points to win.  I have to say it was a very sweet victory.

Clarification

 Today's WOD:

10 Rounds

5 Deadlifts

3 Bar Muscle Ups

Ok, coach just a little clarification on the Bar Muscle Ups, "you want 3 good pull ups or 3 sucky, jumping, chest to bar pull ups from a high box?"  Yep--sucky, jumping chest to bar....
