Crossfit:

Warm up:
Couch Stretch, samson stretch, yoga poses, hip mobility 

Mini MURPH
800 meter run
50 pullups
100 pushups
150 air squats
800 meter run

Total time: 18:41
I broke this up as follows: 10 rounds of: 5 pullups, 10 push-ups, 15 air squats
After the first two rounds of strict dead-hang pull-ups, I had to start use kipping to complete the sets of pull-ups.

Once done with the mini-murph, Alex invited me to join him and several others for another workout:

Every Two Minutes, for 30 minutes (is this an altered “Chelsea”?):

5 squat cleans (115#) – I’m finally learning to get under the bar a bit here, but catching the clean while squatting
10 over-the-box jumps, (but I just did box jumps)
15 double-unders

Sadly, after the 7th or 8th set I slammed my shin into the box again. Took a short break to clean up, massage out the bubble of fluid that collected, and try to get ice on it. Then I returned.

For the remainder of the workout, I substituted the box jumps for 5 additional squat cleans.

I believe I keep hitting my left shin on the box because my left knee is so much tighter than my right knee.

Enpi, Jion (worked on the steps after the Migi Jodan Morote Uke). When moving into Gedan Juji Uke, my left heel was turning ever so slightly out of place. Then when landing in Gedan Juji Uke, my right foot was turned slightly to the right. Need to land with the toes pointed left. My Jodan Juji Uke, Migi Ura Zuki Hidari Age Uke, Migi Jodan Nagashi Uke, and Migi Jodan Ura Zuki were all too high, per Sensei’s instruction. I always thought these were blocks (or attacks) to the opponents face. Apparently not.
