Jess and I met on Monday morning to run but we were both tired and it was grossly humid outside - floridaesque. We ran for about a mile and then walked around Brooklyn Heights and Dumbo.
I skipped CrossFit last week and since it is my intention to go at least once a week, I decided to go to the noon class, plus Shane was teaching (www.crossfitsouthbrooklyn.com). It's usually a smaller class and I can baby out of doing heavy weight if I have to. However, today's WOD was made for me! Headstand practice and 20 minute partner rowing competition. Basically, we had to row as many meters as possible in 20 minutes between 2 people, not doing over 500 meters per turn. Whit and I ended up rowing 4400 meters. Kinda felt like I was going to throw up during my last 500 meters.
Later, I met 2 other lulus for a kickboxing class (CKO Kickboxing in Carroll Gardens). You know it's serious when you have to buy your own gloves. Joe, the owner, taught us the basic punches and kicks and we were off. He promised us 10 minutes of jump roping during class and abs. He wasn't kidding. Our rest was in plank pose (military style pushup)! We were all dying but it was so fun and I felt kinda bad-ass walking around with my red boxing gloves afterward. I suck at jump roping though - Rocky would be disappointed.
Ended the evening teaching yoga the rock climbing gym. Arms were exhausted but any lurkers better watch out b/c I throw a mean jab cross combo.
