Work Out of the Day

As most of you know, Koy co-owns a Crossfit gym in Deep Ellum cleverly named Crossfit Deep Ellum. :) I try to go work out there 3-5 times per week, but lately it's been more like 2 or 3. I usually go to one of the night classes, but every once in a while I'll make it to the 5:30 a.m. class. It's so nice to get it out of the way before work and have the rest of the day for whatever. It also wakes me up and puts me in a better mood for work. I also tend to make better food choices when I work out in the morning. I stray away from my paleo diet less on those days.

So, I actually made it to the 5:30 class this morning and the WOD was a heavy set of two backsquats; then 20 reps at 65% of your heavy two and 20 burpees as quickly as possible. I only got up to 105# for the two. I could only get one rep at 115# and then at 110#. I should have been able to do more. Oh well. So, then I used 70# for the second part of the workout and completed the squats and burpees in 3:07. Even though the weight was much lighter, my legs felt like jello. I was not impressed with my performance today, but I'm still glad I went and am ready for whatever this day has in store for me!
