In which I feel like a$$, but forge ahead

Today's workout was based on today's Crossfit WOD. I used the word "based" loosely, as I subbed and scaled with abandon:

5 rounds:

Run 400 m - 6.7 mph
15 sumo deadlift highpulls - 40 lb
30 v-sit ball tosses

Finished with an easy 10 minute jog @ 5.5 mph.

The SDHP's were subbed for deadlifts (the sumo stance seriously helps navigate the belly). The v-sits were subbed for glute-ham extensions which are impossible to do pregnant. I actually attempted to do crunches on the ball, but these have become really uncomfortable, so I switched to v-sits.

I shoveled the driveway again.

I was SO tired today, I could barely drag my butt out of bed, and I was terribly unfocused all day. Going to the gym gave me something concrete to focus on. But I felt like total ass the whole time. Running sucks: my belly cramps here and there, my boobs are uncontainable (sport bra issues another issue entirely), my adductors and hip flexors hurt... My shorts don't fit properly over the new curves, so I get fat-lady-bunch when I run. SUCKS.

Today, anyway.
