I'm calling a PR on these even though I never really went heavy on squat cleans before...pretty fired up actually...almost at 200 (which I was pretty close to nailing btw). Oh well...Off to rugby practice!!

I was planning on doing 'Diane' with Vinny today but things changed after I got destroyed at rugby practice last night. Those dudes are tough! Tonight might've been my last appearance but we'll see. Knee hurts, shin has a baseball sized knot, few knots on my head, several bruises and a black eye that would make any boxer proud.

I'm going to the teams banquet this saturday...I'll see how I feel on Monday.
Right now I feel like I got the crap kicked out of me.

I know...weight on the heels. I didn't have anybody there yelling at me which usually fixes that.

Still battling a headache from my 20 rep squat day...was planning on doing this..

30 HSPU
40 Pullups
50 KB Swings
60 Situps
70 Burpees

Started getting a big headache during the pullups so I didn't push it, stopped at about 25 PU's. Really bummed out!

I did end up doing about 15 muscle ups though and stringin' a few together - Hadn't done that before. Also, doing 1 or 2 MU's at a time didn't really make my head hurt too bad. I'm going to take tomorrow totally off and if I don't feel 100% on Monday I'm going to visit the Dr.

Re: JD's CrossFit Chronicle

Re: JD's CrossFit Chronicle
 

Thanks Carter!

Here's an update...I haven't really done any kind of a workout since saturday. Actually, on Saturday I did our MCCF Warmup and then a bunch of Muscle ups because of my headache issue. (Started during pullups in the WO which made my head hurt but seemed okay doing slow MU's) So I figured I would take an extra few days off. Well Monday comes and we find out we are having our baby about 2 weeks early!! On Tuesday the 3rd instead of monday the 16th. I had tentatively scheduled my rest week for the week we had our baby so basically it just happened the same time as my
'headache' issue. Well. We had a beautiful baby girl, Micah Joy (8 lbs, 9 oz). She was very healthy for the 1st 12 hours or so then things started to change and the last 3 days have been probably the worst of my life...

She's getting better but we aren't out of the woods yet. I'm optimistic and hopeful that everything will be okay. I'm a worrier so, when there are complications with your first born you tend to freak out a bit.

This is really the first time I've left the hospital/NICU - Just came home to get a few things in order and I even went for a little run.

40 mins. My house to 901 Lakeshore back to 22804...

didn't feel great...still not 100%.

Keep your fingers crossed!
