Valentine's Day, Recovery 4 Miler & CrossFit

Happy Valentine's Day! My husband took me for a coffee date and I had my favorite quiche with good coffee. He's so sweet!

During the baby's nap, I went for a recovery 4 mile run. It felt good. The top of my left foot was feeling a little sore, almost swollen, but wearing the Asics Cumulus today was a BIG help. I think the lactic acid worked its way out during the run.

After the run while the baby was still napping, I was able to do a modified CrossFit WOD. It consisted of Hand Stand Push Ups and Jumping Pull-ups (instead of L-Pull ups which I can't yet do). I also threw in some Overhead Squats for loosening up. Mikey got a couple of pictures of me doing the Hand Stand Push Ups. DO NOT LAUGH! I did my best. You can see that I still need to use the gate to balance on.

Ready, set...

...push!







TOTAL MILES: 4

P.S. Read the Quote of the Day. It's a good one!

I feel the same way! The top of my right foot was hurting since last night that I wasn't able to run last night or even tonight!

Anyways, you look good doing those Hand Stand Pull ups. I almost fainted when I thought of trying to do it!
