It’s been a while since I’ve crossfitted. I haven’t done this workout since the very first time I tried a crossfit workout.

“Helen”

Three rounds for time:
Run 400 meters
1 1/2 pood Kettlebell X 21 swings (or 55 pound dumbbell swing)
12 Pull-ups

Post time to comments.

The scaled down “pack” workout calls for 35 pound dumbbell swings which is about 1 pood, and I just happen to have a 1 pood kettlebell. I got to the AFC at about 9:10 and did the standard warm-up sans pullups. My sit-ups were on the floor instead of in the GHD because I think I’ve lost a bit of flexability. I can’t do dips, so I could only do 5, then 3 of them. It was 9:30 and I still had to do my last set of dips for the warm-up, but I skipped them so that I could start on the workout. I finished two rounds and didn’t think I could complete the third before they closed, so I skipped it.

Total time: 20:54 for two rounds.

I plan on running either a 5 mile or a 10k race in about a month and I haven’t been a consistent runner in about a year.  Yesterday I decided that I had to get in shape.  I ran about 3 miles, but felt so out-of-shape.  I hadn’t felt that bad running that short of a distance since I started training for my first marathon in the spring of ‘02.  I plan to continue running about three miles every day until I feel like I can kick it up to four or five.

Today’s crossfit workout is Angie and I may do a scaled-down version of it in addition to my running.
