"Nothing we can't handle!"

Today was the closest I ever got to dying from exercise!

Friday WODs are usually the toughest and today was definitely that. If you're not a CrossFitter you won't understand this (or maybe you will) but this was what we did:

"300" work out
25 Pull ups
50 Deadlifts 135/95 (I did 75#)50 Pushups
50 Box Jumps 24in/20in
50 Floor Wipers with barbell used for deads (Lay on floor, barbell over chest like a benchpress and pendulum your legs left and right)
50 total Single-Arm Clean-and-Press with 35/25 lbs Kettlebell (so alt arms)
25 Pull ups

The time to finish it in was 30 minutes...and I totally didn't make it under that time.  SHIT. WAS. HARD. I was sweating 5 times more than I ever did from Spin class. I had a fly that kept landing on me because of the moisture emanating from my slick bod.  I ended up falling 20 pull ups short by the time the timer hit 30 minutes, but the other three people encouraged me to finish up the workout, so I did (I wouldn't have, otherwise, honestly).

After that I met up with my running friend Kourtney and we ran 6 miles along the Oak Leaf Trail. We intended to go for 7 miles but it was so darn hot. We jogged past a 60+ year old gentleman runner who smiled at us and said "Nothing we can't handle!" referring to the heat and fatigue we were feeling. I felt motivated after that (and decided to name this entry title after his phrase).  I hope to be old someday and still have the strength and motivation to keep active like that.

Anyways...you're stronger than you think you are! Have a great weekend!
