Back to life

This week has been rough. As many of you know, my father is severely ill. He's holding steady - but not doing well. Pulmonary Fibrosis will take him from us. I decided that it was time after a week of stress to get back on the horse - if anything, as a tribute to the value of life and every breath I take.

I did a scaled version of a WOD from earlier this week:

5 rounds for time:
10 Hang Squat Cleans @ 95#
15 pushups

12:18

I ended up doing some power cleans mixed in. All-in-all I am just glad to get back at it.

Tied prev PR of 165. Failed on 175 - long long day so I guess I'm satisfied.

Rounder

Picked a rounder from CrossFitFootball.com and modified it.

Helen
3 rounds for time.
400m
21 KBS - 1.5 pood
12 Pull-ups

14:39 - PR!

Shoulder press 1-1-1-1-1 reps
Push press 3-3-3-3-3 reps
Push Jerk 5-5-5-5-5 reps

Didn't do all tries

Hit 125 on the SP
135 on the 3 rep PP but I hit a 1 rep of 155 which was a PR
Push jerks - 135 on a 5 rep - definitely was feeling the effects of unloading boxes off of trucks.

Handstand push-ups
L-pull-ups

29:15

Pullups were regular kipping. HSPU were with feet on squat rack

September

So far, the last week of August and first weeks of September have been rough for me. Two week-long colds have left me wiped out. I now have an issue with my jaw that is either TMJ or a bad tooth. I've done a few light workouts through all of this, but not posting since they were just to keep me from going completely down. So - I think I'm back again!

Thursday September 10th I did this:
Push Jerk 3-3-3-3-3 reps

115 - 125 - 135 - 155PR - 155

Tonight Saturday September 12th I did Barbie/Barbara light:
Five rounds, each for time of:
10 Pull-ups
10 Push-ups
15 Sit-ups
20 Squats
Rest precisely three minutes between each round.

1:40 - 2:14 - 3:22 - 4:34 - 4:00 (pullups fell apart)
