Today was a fun day at GSX. I took the time this morning to do some slow lifts, work some heavy singles, and get ready for adding some heavier stuff to my daily workouts since it's been quite a while since I've done that on a regular basis. In between sets I couldn't resist sticking my head out of the door to see how the group class was doing. It looked like they had a fun workout and I was almost kicking myself for not going ahead and doing it. BUT, I am really glad I got back in there and got past that first heavy workout. Mentally that is a huge weight off my shoulders.

Chuck has been doing some of the Crossfit Football workouts so I decided to join him after I lifted. The original workout was:

10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1
Stepups with 40% of your one rep max squat
ring pushups
supine ring pullups

But, I aggravated something in my right glute/hip earlier this year doing heavy step-ups and until I get to the chiropractor/Airrosti I decided it's be best not to do heavy steup ups again. So instead I chose...Pistols. I wasn't real sure how this was going to go since I haven't done a WOD with pistols since last Decemeber...yeah...WAY to long and those weren't very great if I remember correctly. But, I got after it and 110 pistols later I finished in 10:44. Bouncing out of the bottom is KEY!

Also, had a great meeting with all the GSX folks this afternoon followed by yummy noms with a great couple.

All in all today was a good day.
