Med Ball Mania

I love when I wake up before the alarm! It always seems like a sign that today, things are going to go smoothly. The cracks in the sidewalk won’t jump up to trip me and the coffee won’t try to splash out of the cup all over my CrossFit Women t-shirt.

So, yeah… up before the alarm and ready for Bootcamp. Woot!

Megan was the boss today, and she put together a fun, “no rest for the wicked” workout featuring circuits with a partner and our ol’ friend, the med ball. It was just what I needed to ease my left shoulder back into action. I’ve been sweatin’ it the last few days because the left is the one that underwent rotator cuff surgery two years ago, and it’s been feeling wonky since the pullups and cleans and FGB.

But today… much better. Whew!
