INJURED

I'm going to break one of my cardinal rules of blogging and explain why there have been no updates for a while.

Well, this is a blog that chronicles my results at CrossFit, and for the past month there haven't been any results to chronicle. A few days after Cindy, I noticed that I was experiencing a lot of stiffness and pain in my right leg.  After no improvement for a week, I went to see a doctor who diagnosed me with a muscle strain.

I was given a prescription for anti-inflammatories and a requistion for physio and massage.  I think it's gotten a little better, but some days it's still bad.  I haven't been doing anything more physical than cleaning out my garage or the occasional set of deadhang pull-ups, and I'm going a bit batty.

"Cindy"

I didn't look at the WOD before I went in.  It's probably good that I didn't. 

"Cindy"

20-minute AMRAP of
5 pull-ups
10 push-ups
15 squats


Every time I do Cindy, I'm reminded that I don't work enough on my push-ups. 

This time, I wanted to try something different.  I started breaking up the push-ups from the start, thinking it might mean that my arms would take longer to fatigue. 

I think it worked.  I didn't PR this, but I came close. 


17 rounds + 5 pull-ups + 6 push-ups
