Extremely poor showing POS. Anything less than 175 is unexcusable. Not! Nice work homey.

Great post and I think we can all appreciate what you are going through. I must say that in the two and a half months leading up to the Northeast Qualifier I finally adopted the 3 on 1 off protocol and I must say it was very beneficial. But the mental side was difficult at first. I was and still am a WOD junkie who loves to look for unique workouts and I actually can’t really stand the ‘girl’ workouts even though I do them to measure my progress. It is still difficult to see a great workout posted on your off day and not want to go and hit it. Well I guess that is why they invented the Erg for me.

WOD
150 reps (Bench 14/15/12/11/10 CTB 16/17/20/19/16) poor showing today.

L-O-V-E the post. That’s why yer MMMMM Good. Currently on XFit WOD rest day number 8. I keep having lower back soreness and it’s always been directly related to my tight hamstrings. So Lame. All the technical training out the do’ when tight hammies prevent you from picking up the bar correctly. Calveeen is the shit and told me this a year ago I am going to crawl into one of those pilates reformer things for the next few weeks at Bruno’s pilates place and work on hamstring flexibility so I can stop being such a pain in the ass.

Well that’s pretty much of a drag Michelle.

It is super hard to listen to the little aches and pains (it’s not really PAIN right, just a little TIGHT, and besides it goes away after a warm up so how bad is it? not bad at all I’ll just do the WOD).

AND for addicts it is really, really, really, hard to take time off.

Luckily for me, I have two little terrorists that keep me from overtraining and keep me active on my rest days. (I walked around and around and around Legoland yesterday)

I hope your hammy gets happy soon.

Michele ma belle:

You better take care of yourself! If you’re not healthy for the games, I’ll punch you in the neck.

If you can’t compete, what will I do with my tshirts: “I know Michele Vieux”
“Michele Vieux coached me once” and “I’ve eaten Michele Vieux’s cooking”

I’m going for cool points by pointing out to people that I have been in the same room with you.
