Back in the Saddle

I am back from vacation and back at the box. I am proud of my workout on Monday. Did the same thing as everyone but 3 rounds instead of 5 with a modified pull up. That is 60 pull ups, 90 pushups, 120 sit ups and 150 air squats. My poor legs were screaming the next day. Today I had trouble walking up stairs but went back today.

The wod was way too difficult for me so they had me doing the "kids" wod - row 800m, then 3 rounds of 9 burpees, 11 kb swings and 11 box jumps, ending with another 800 m row. Sounds easy, huh? They all sound easy.

I was a little angry with myself, though. I felt that they had me do this wod as a workout when I really wanted to practice my thrusters and other lifts. I need to be more assertive and say what I want.

I'm still feeling a little intimidated. When is this feeling going to go away? I think I need to set a short term goal for myself and work towards it. Maybe learn three lifts and practice them until I can lift more than a 15 lb. bar. Maybe learn to do a pull up with a band instead of jumping off a box. I will be 65 in 3 and a half months and I think I will set a goal for my birthday. Not sure what. Stay tuned.
