I wonder when it happened.  When did I stop fretting over upcoming Crossfit WODs and actually start looking forward to them?

It must have happened gradually.  I remember worrying about the WODs.  I remember dreading running during the warmup.  I remember being one of the last in from that warmup run.

Now I’m one of the first.  And WODs don’t worry me anymore.  They’re not pleasant.  But they don’t worry me.  Even those running ones, like “Nicole.”  We revisited Nicole to see how far we’ve come in the past 6 weeks.

“Nicole”
AMRAP 20 minutes
400m run
Max pullups

Results: 5 rounds + nearly all of a run (65 pullups with 3 stretched out purple bands)

I didn’t sleep well the night before, so I was running on fumes.  I had hoped to be in better condition.  Considering how poorly I felt, I did OK.  It wasn’t an improvement, but I did feel stronger on the pull ups.  I must have worked hard, because I got blisters on my hands from the bar.

Now if I could just get rid of those bands and pull up without help… well… that’ll be something.
