Every workout that doesn't go well is motivation for me to get back into shape. It's really funny because I see these workouts and think, "I can do that" because I used to be able to. I guess it's good that I'm still confident enough in myself that I believe I can do anything, but then it's a pretty harsh reality when I attempt and fail. It's like when I went through a growth spurt in college and went to try on clothes and couldn't believe I wasn't a size 0 anymore.
Todays Failure:
10 minute AMRAP
500m run
1 arm OH kettlebell squat 16kg
Every time you drop the KB, run 200m
Not only did I think I could do 1 arm KB squats, I thought I could do a ton of reps (200?) within the 10 minutes. And I thought I might only have to run once or twice. WRONG! I guess I've never attempted 1 arm KB squats, because I realized quickly that I can not do them at all. Not with any range of motion anyway. Will have to figure out why that is. I can do OH squats just fine with a bar. So, I did 1 arm OH walking lunges instead. As far as the reps, wrong again! I could only do about 25-20 at a time so I ended up running 4 times with a total of 68 reps. 200? Not even close. 68. Epic fail.
The hardest part about all this, is that I want to do more. I want to work out twice a day for a few hours, but I can't. My body is just not ready for that kind of work. So I'm doing things the right way and only doing one workout a day and giving myself plenty of rest. Sometimes too much rest because I'm so sore I can't do anything. I just need to remember to be patient and that it will all come back in due time. That time just can't come soon enough.
