It was Thursday and Chris asked me the question that kicked off this horror show. "What is your workout schedule like right now?" Well other than the days I would workout with Mike and help him reach his goals I would be focusing on sport specific lifts for football season. Apparently Chris heard that as "doing nothing" and asked if I would do Crossfit for a month. Hey why not! Those workouts are fun, challenging, have a good variety of anaerobic circuits and I'd even get a chance to improve on my pull-ups, which come in waves of about 3 to 5 a set. Friday February 1st would be my Crossfit debut.

Run 10 k
I came in this morning eager to check the website to see what my workout would be. Deadlift with pull-ups? Chinups and squats? Something cool and challenging for sure I thought. A burst of laughter came from Chris and then he gave me the news. Run 10 k. Are you sh#*!g me? The closest to running 10 k I've been was the 1 mile test back in University. For you math majors out there, running 10 k would be like running 6, 1 mile tests. Yeah buddy. Chris gave me the option of starting the next day but procrastination is something I left behind in 2007. 1 hour and 9 minutes later, I couldn't feel my legs and I didn't feel like me a Crossfit were going to get a long.

Tabata
-Pullups
-Pushups
-Situps
-Squats
Crossfit and I didn't start off on the right foot and I was hoping it would make it up to me on Saturday with an apology and a fun workout. I didn't get an apology; I got a tough workout, which meant that this was going to be a "tough love" relationship. Tabata style 8 sets of 20 seconds on, 10 seconds rest. Pullups, pushups, situps and squats. Because of my lack of ability to do sets of pull-ups I had to resort to rings, which punished quite the same I feel. I completed 8 sets of the following exercises:
8 Pull ups
13 Pushups
11 situps
14 squats
