x3
10 Lateral Pushups
20 Lunges (I did squats)
10 Leg lift and lower
1 200m hill run (I did 10 20# KB thrusters and 6 KB snatches, each arm)
20 sit-ups
Not bad.
Not bad.
My friend Kevin (who got me into Crossfit) is also suffering a foot injury,
so we were making jokes about how gooooood our abs are going to look by the time our tendons heal. 🙂
(Also, does anyone have suggestions for decreasing wrist pain
while doing push-ups?
I’m fine, but The Artist Formerly Known as The Roommate and The Boyo have pretty bad wrist pain when they’re doing push-ups, and it would be nice to have a solution for them.)

(Wednesday’s workout, really.)
I kicked a zombie on Sunday
and totally effed up my ankle,
so I did a rather separate workout from The Boyo and The Roommate.
Theirs:
x4
15 jump squats
15 push-ups
15 knees-to-ees
15 burpees
100m sprint/run
Mine:
x4
15 hanging sit-ups
5 pullups
15 hollow body rocks
15 tricep dips (prolly not the *best* idea, since I am on crutches…)
15 leg lift and lower
5 toes-to-bar
Honestly?
I really missed actually working out with Jessie and Ben.
I will take burpees with friends any day over an equally punishing workout alone. 😦

Truly,
one of the best years I’ve ever had.
I found new friends,
wore a ridiculous costume,
and made people laugh.
Alexis, Morgan, Rick, Jane, Brian:
Thank you.
You are my most favorite Frenchies.
Kev and MoMo–thank you for inspiring me to be better at acro.
Loved watching the two of you perform.
Merci, mes amies. Merci.
