May 26 - WOD

Today was one of those days where Wonder Boy joined us in the garage for our WOD. So the whole family did the following:

21 - Dead Lifts (155#)
21 - Box Jumps
15 - Dead Lifts (155#)
15 - Box Jumps
9 - Dead Lifts (155#)
9 - Box Jumps

I finished in 6 minutes and 47 seconds. And wouldn't you know it, Wonder Boy finished in an astounding 6 minutes and 28 seconds! He did kettlebell dead lifts - he's not quite ready for the bar. But the boy can bust out some box jumps! He just LOVES to do his box jumps.

Well ... he did before this workout. After we finished our workout and Wonder Dad was starting his, the Boy decided to get in some more jumps. He even raised the box to a new height. *sigh* But his legs were tired (or more than normal anyway). And he tried to do the jumps in rhythm - we've been making him step down and jump fresh each time. You know what's coming, don't you? He missed a jump. And his shins got knocked to next Tuesday on the very unforgiving corner of our box.

I feel SO bad for him. Pobrecito. He sat with ice on his legs while Wonder Dad did his workout. And then he limped all the way to the couch, looking more pathetic than I've seen him in quite a while.

I know he'll be better in a day or so, but I'm betting this is a lesson that will stick with him for some time.

We (Wonder Dad & I) finished with 25 knees to elbows.
