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.

May 13 - Kelly (modified)
Today's WOD was _supposed_ to be 5 rounds for time. But someone forgot to pay the A/C bill for Texas and it got HOT. So we were only able to keep this up for 3 rounds.
I managed to do 3 rounds of the following:
400M run
30 - Box Jumps
30 - Thrusters (45#)
Strictly speaking, you're supposed to do 20# wall balls in place of the thrusters, but we didn't have a wall ball, so we substituted thrusters.
The heat really sapped every bit of my energy and it ended up taking me 23 minutes and 27 seconds to complete these 3 rounds. I think it would have taken at least an hour to do the full work out. But honestly, I was practically walking on the last run and I suspect I would have had to do step ups in place of the box jumps after that 3rd set. I was just plain spent.
Working out in the heat is going to take an adjustment or two, to say the least.
On the bright side ... Wonder Boy joined us for a while. He did the first full round with me. But all he really wanted to do was box jumps. So after we finished the first round, when I went out to run again, he stayed in the garage w/ his dad and did LOTS more box jumps. By the time Wonder Dad and I had both finished, Wonder Boy had done around 150 box jumps. He even experimented with various heights - he managed to nail an AWESOME 30" jump.
The boy is my hero!
