Yesterday was my first real---and unmodified WOD. It wasn't too bad as we did back squats for skill...then a competitive ladder of Clean and Jerks. I have not been allowed to clean and jerk in six weeks so I was very cautious starting out. I am proud to say, I had no issues. I started with 35# and ended with 125#. I did opt to not jerk anything over 105 just to be on the safe side. We also ran 200m sprints. This was a first in 6weeks, too. Again, no issues. And even came home, rested, and woke up not even sore (not boobie sore---but was sore like I would typically expected).

| Got my bag on my hip and ready to WOD! |
Today was the real test though, as the workout had a lot of movements I was scared to do. Not only a lot of different movements, but also a lot of each movements (a lot of reps).
Warm up alone was a little scary as it had pushups and strict pull-ups in it. But I did the pushups with ease and would only do two pull ups at a time with a band for now.
The WOD was.... ***I modified just about everything just to be safe! **These had a lot of movements I haven't done in 6weeks that involve the chest somehow. Better safe than sorry!!!
50 calories row (I didn't go all out with speed--just a nice easy pace)
50 Box Jump Overs
50 Deadlifts 120#
50 Wall Balls (I used 10#ball & hitting the lower line---but ended up hitting the top line by then end)
50 Ring Dips (opted to not do these yet---so I did pushups with quick breaks every 5 pushups)
50 Wall Balls
50 Deadlifts
50 Box Jumps Overs
50 Cal Row
I am thrilled that I was able to do all these movements! I really was nervous about every thing I tried today. Deadlifts involve the use of the chest in the upright position, especially with heavy weights (but luckily 120# is not heavy to me--I max over 300#). The wall balls scared me due to the throwing motion overhead and of course the thought of missing a catch and having a ball land on my chest:-( RING DIPS---waiting a week to do these. Oh, and even box jumps because of the use of explosive arm motions is a bit scary. I am very surprised that it nothing bothered me! I am thrilled too:-). And even now, just a few hours later, I have no swelling or discomfort!!! :-).
I am a happy-happy girl!!!
***Now with some exciting news. I am almost done with my front part of interning (the observing part).... The next 40hours I will be coaching with some assistance:-). That's exciting and a bit nerve-racking to know that I will be monitored the whole time! LOL!
I am officially on the schedule to COACH starting June 9th for the remainder of the summer. That's super cool. What's not so cool is I am teaching Monday thru Wednesday, 5am, 6am, and 7am!!! WOWZERS! Alarm will be going off at 4:25am people! PRAY FOR ME!!! But at least I will be home before the kids wake up---and most likely before Todd goes to work too! LOL! **Luckily it's only three days a week.
Super Happy to be back at it!!!!!!!
