I'm in a piss poor mood. This week has been smashing. It was my first week back to work after more then two months. 12 hour shifts are hard, I seemed to have lost my legs as we say at work. My knees are sore. Not to mention that I got the shit shifts of 11am to 11p and I live an hour from work. So I crashed the first nigth at my friends house who is an 86 year old physics prof from Austria. He keeps his house so fucking hot...in the 80's. I was up most of the night.
Jerry of Crossfit Challenge is being kind enough to let me come to his 6am class for free. So I'm not going to miss it! Today I'm unsure what I want to do, that's another post.
Also, after two months off a few of my kind hearted co-workers felt the need to tell me I've gained weight....I fucking know.....Jesus Christ! You're killing me! Watch out world I feel the need to punch!

Felt shattered today. It took me all day to get my ass in gear and do a little something.
Sprint repeats(I say sprints...but to the rest of the world it may look as if I'm walking in slow motion!)
20 Seconds sprints with 10 seconds rests 10X
I did this on the end of a soccer field that has a hill. The hill kicked my ass! My lungs are burning!
I HATE TO RUN!

Jen, It's awesome that you're back to working out and pretty steady too. Big props for throughing in an aspect that you despise (running) trust me I feel your pain on that one.

I did two Tabata intervals (8 min) on the heavy bag last night, to let off some steam it worked pretty well, well at least better than an assault charge if I actually had punched a person in the face!

Push through it, you're strong, and it's just one of those weeks. Besides you've got Jerry's smiling face to keep you going at 6am!

Jen, It's been great having you around CFOT. You're an inspiration and I think I'm going to steal some of your injured shoulder workouts.

What procedure did you have done on your shoulder?

I have to get my supraspinatus tendon repaired next week, so I'm interested in what you had done.

Thanks!
