Knee Injury!

Yesterday was a hard day for me, when I saw the WOD at CrossFit Mamas, I knew I couldn't do it without a struggle. 

Thursday 11.15.12

"Murph"

(Mamas style) 

For time:

1 mile Run

100 Push-ups

200 Sit-ups

300 Squats

1 mile Run

Partition the push-ups, sit-ups, and squats as needed. Start and finish with a mile run.

A few days ago a probably did a ''wrong'' movement and an old knee injury's returned. I decided to do an Insanity Workout instead of The WOD at CrossFit Mamas (Thursday November 15th, 2012), but this morning, my knee is killing me! (The one I felt is explained by the green writing...)

I know I shouldn't stop working out, but for tonight, I will do a recovery workout (from the Insanity program) and take it easy for the weekend.

Well I might try it anyway .... (bad me)

Friday 11.16.12

21-18-15-12-9-6-3 reps of:

Crossfit sit-ups

Squats

Shouldn't be so hard for my little knee, if I do the squats the right way!

I hope I will be back on track on Monday November 19th!

Friday WOD from CrossFit Mamas and Running Injuries!

WOD from CrossFit Mamas!

found at http://dailyinfographic.com/

One thing you should know is that I hate running! I have some problems with my right hip and I always suffer from it at the end of the run (and days later!)

 

Anyway at home I only got the Elliptic. I did the running part on it, it's really different from running, the movement isn't the same and as proof, I never get bored and I wasn't hurt! Anyway, here is my result: 7:20 (with 20 lbs. push-press dumbbells!)

Run 300 meters

20 Push press, 20 lbs.

Run 300 meters

15 Push press, 20 lbs.

Run 300 meters

10 Push press, 20 lbs.

Run 300 meters

5 Push press, 20 lbs.

I was totally washed out after this one :P

Oh I forgot to mention that I did the Dead Lifts with 30 lbs. for yesterday WOD!

Yesterday was my day off and I try the Orzo spinach/tomato soup! It was good, easy and didn't take a lot of time and ingredients to make it! I have almost everything at home already!

Found at: Babble: The family kitchen

Spinach Tomato Orzo Soup

Ingredients

1 large onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, chopped

1 lb. spinach, fresh or frozen, defrosted

1 – 15 oz. can dice Italian tomatoes (with oregano and basil)

1 lb. package orzo pasta

2 quarts chicken or vegetable stock

2 quarts water

Olive oil

(I add some cooked turkey breast pieces into it for more proteins!)

Method

1. Preheat a large soup. Drizzle with olive oil. Add onions and saute until tender. Add garlic and saute for 2 – 3 minutes. Add canned tomatoes, spinach, chicken or vegetable stock and water. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium.

2. Add orzo cook for 12 – 15 minutes or until orzo is tender.

That's it!

And chack this one out: OMG :D
