Maybe it’s the Monday “blahs”, or maybe it’s because I was studying all day, or maybe it’s because running has become my nemesis, but I kind of had a feeling like I was being defeated today. It’s all because of how much I hate running, how its such a mental challenge for me, how I freak out at how fast my breath starts going, how I struggle to slow that breath down, how slow I have to run (really it’s a jog) and how much it ruins my time in the WODs. Yeah, running is my nemesis and after 10 weeks at CrossFit I don’t know if it’s getting any better?
Okay, end rant.
WOD - “Baby Eva”
- 800m run
- 30 kettlebell swings
- 30 pull-ups
- 3 rounds
- 30 minute time cap
So I was always last in on the runs but then I breezed through the KB swings without having to break once. Pull-ups I did in sets of 5 and I’d be out the door before other people. But once everyone had started running I’d fall behind again and be the last one in for the next set. Ugh. Running - I will defeat you one day.
I was so close to finishing in the time cap that the coach let me get in the last couple of pull-ups and I finished with a time of 30:22. Can you imagine what I could get if I actually could run faster??? Yeah, neither can I because I don’t know when that day will come!!
