Its Monday and I am on staycation!!

So, yes indeed, it has taken me about a month to get back on the horse with blogging (side note: it's so hard to say horse without thinking of Betsy's bachelorette, say it with me: Save a horse, ride a cowboy!).  But after a week of serious illness, followed by a weekend of girl bonding and birthday bbque, I have decided to recommit.  Looking forward (I guess ;) to Angie this afternoon.  A little nervous what she's going to do to my body, but feeling like I can do this at 100 with a green band.  Question is, will I be allowed to do 100?  We shall see.  Also enjoying being able to go to the box at Noon - it gave a me a good chunk of hours this morning to read Where Men Win Glory and slowly wake up :)  I love staycation!!


WOD
"Angie"
100 pull-ups
100 push-ups
100 Sit-ups
100 Squats

RESULTS

I completed half Angie - 50 reps in each set.  I scaled with a blue band and knee push-ups (knpu).  This WOD was completed in 17:22.

ANALYSIS

When I walked into the gym, I was convinced that I was going to complete 100 reps.  After the warm-up Andrew had put a suggested scale for each of us on the board - my scale: 50, blue band, knpu.  There were several thoughts swimming in my head: I can do 100 reps, I can do 50 with full push-ups, what, blue band for the entire WOD?!  So I agreed with Andrew on the scaling and after a few embarrassing "I can'ts" I fell into a rhythm and busted out 50 pull-ups - the last ten being pure muscle-up because my hands were ripped and I couldn't get a good enough grip for a kip.  The push-ups, sit-ups and squats went pretty fast.  All in all, I was happy with the outcome.  I wish I had taped my hands the way I always tape them - today I was trying a new method - because there wasn't muscle fatigue (well, a little ;) with my pull-ups just grip issues with ripped up hands.  I rocked that blue band!!  And look forward to abusing it across the next few months - or it abusing me, HA!
