One More Time

I took a rest day yesterday. I guess the main Crossfit web site is correct in assuming you need at least 1 day off for every three days on. I noticed I started to get pretty sore and a little stiff. I guess I just need to listen to my body and get more rest.

Instead of working out, I ran errands. You know, run to Wally World for supplies, stop by "Buy N Large" for food. That sort of thing. Normally, when I have a workout planned, I feel like the rest of the evening is a little rushed. You know, you have to get home and get into the flow of your pre-workout/workout/post workout routine. Instead, I simply "lollygagged" around the store. I found a couple of items I would normally have passed if I was in "quick shop mode."

So today, the planned workout (again) is the "Squat, Sit" workout. Shouldn't be a problem this time. I'll update tonight after I lift.

UPDATE: Well, I got the workout in this evening. It was a short one, but a scorcher. Doing the front squats at 95# was the hard part. I tried to break them up a bit to keep from getting gassed at the beginning of the workout. I had to do normal situps, since my gym does not have a GHD. I managed to crank through the workout in 7:33.

During the workout, I was managing the weight well. I seemingly had more issues with my cardio than the weight. That is, right up until I stopped. As I tried to walk down the stairs of my gym after the workout, my legs started complaining. I think I had it scaled just right.
