Day#357: Two Weeks Down and Bruises

So, That's the word on the street... I've officially completed two weeks of my 6 week CrossFit challenge. it's hard to believe it! That means that I'm 1/3 of the way through it already. Crazy!

65 Days til WDW2.0

Wowie, I'll tell you that Friday Last week was an intense work out, and I thought it was the hardest to date, it certainly was the most damaging... I got seriously bruised doing Hang Cleans like this:

This guy does them really fast and with more weight than I did, but... the movement is the same. Every time it rested on my shoulders like it does at the top peak of the movement, it created some ouchy bruising. I was so sore over the weekend I decided to forgo my planned rock climbing excursion. I'm glad I did... I was THAT sore!

Matching set of shoulder bruises... my Coach Mandy says they're called "Bar Hickies" - Well i've never had a hickie before... and not sure I want them again. lol ;)

Today's workout was tough.


The first day of CrossFit so far that I've been so grateful that tears are so well masked by sweating... my knees and hips were not happy. I need to work on getting better flexibility in my hips and strengthening the muscles around my knees so that I can do these workouts at the level of intensity that they keep building to each day.

Squats are the biggest culprit of my pain, someday when i'm better able to do them and in higher reps, I'll forgive them for their meanness towards me... BUT IT IS NOT THIS DAY!

But I survived... and for that I'm glad! :) #sweatyselfie
