Rainy Day Squats

I dragged myself out of bed this morning just to work on the front squat, a lift that doesn't come up very often in programming. This time, I really focused on getting my elbows high (following Josh's latest effort) and on letting the bar just rest on my body rather than hanging onto it. PR today of 193 lbs.!! I skipped the WOD in order to save my strength and energy for what I'll call "Tom's Treat". TT wasn't demanding enough and was too repetitive and long. I think I will stick to CF as my cross training, as 30-40 laps on the wall is plenty of endurance.

I have to record that my starting weight for this challenge is 142 lbs. That's nearly 10 lbs. heavier than my weight when I started Crossfit. Though I am much stronger now, I'm also thicker and slower, like mud. I am mud. I have no particular weight goals; like I said before, I just want to feel better.
