I Just Saw That The State Is Closing Non Essential Businesses

These are Interesting times weโ€™re living in. I just saw that the state is closing down non essential businesses. Itโ€™s sort of like Id imagine things could have gone in a nuke attack when the cold war was a big thing growing up.

It was very dry today, too dry even. My nose felt like it was drying out. Local weather stations showed the relative humidity being around eleven percent.

Improvements Don't Always Have Numbers

Improvements donโ€™t always have numbers. Every so often, itโ€™s more about just how you feel doing a repeat WOD. Occasionally, itโ€™s just being able to do something that you were unable to do in the past. It being time for the Crossfit Open reminded me of this thought.

Suddenly I Have The Ability To Do Weighted Lunges

I have no idea when or how it happened, but lunges have finally clicked into place for me. For many years, I struggled with lateral balance. I wrote it off as something I might never get, with only having one eye thatโ€™s really even useful for anything.

So Far With Street Parking I've Been Able To Keep The Intensity Up

Iโ€™ve been able to keep the intensity up so far while doing the Street Parking WODs. They have less of a knack for throwing something in that slows me down than Crossfit did.

Why I Love Lifting

I donโ€™t really keep it a secret that I love lifting. Squats are my favorite lift. Itโ€™s just me against the weight and gravity. My low vision really isnโ€™t a factor, and I love that I donโ€™t have something uncontrollable holding me back.

We Were Able To Do Today's WOD Together Outside

One thing I do miss about going to the gym is being able to do a WOD together. A lot of times we donโ€™t have the space to do that here. Today we were able to do the sandbag version of todayโ€™s WOD together!

I Miss Using My Bright Green J Cups

I miss using my bright green j cups like I could at Trinium. I just canโ€™t see the black ones. They donโ€™t seem to make colored ones that would work with our rack. I have searched.

Tried A New Movement To Me

One thing I enjoy about fitness related stuff is trying new movements or exercises. Todayโ€™s Street Parking WOD called for seated box jumps. I have always wanted to try them and now I have done them.

First Time Doing Box Jump overs

First time ding box jump overs. We went to a friendโ€™s boot camp and he had box jump overs programmed. I tried them and didnโ€™t like how the soft plyo box felt unstable so I started legitimately jumping completely over it. That was actually fun. Reminded me of being a young kid and doing stuff like that.

Sandbag Workouts Are Fun!

We started doing Street Parking WODs about a month or so ago and I noticed they had a sandbag WOD once a week and options in many of the daily WODs. I picked up a Brute Force sandbag and love this addition to our toy box.
