WOD:

I. “Diane
21-15-9
Deadlifts (225/155)
Completed: Deadlift at 125lbs. in 5:13. Scaled to Ring push ups. Quiet day today. The Warrior Dash is Sunday and is looking ominous in my mind. Not going to lie when I say I’m very, very nervous about it. It’s moments like these when I wonder why the hell I sign up for this stuff. Ideally, around noon or so on Sunday, I’ll be wondering why I could have ever doubted signing up for such things. Fingers crossed.
