That cough knocked me down for an entire week. Every time I tried to lay down at night, I’d end up coughing the ENTIRE night. After five days, that equated to total delirium of not sleeping + bruised ribs, I went to the doctor and got some heavy-duty cough syrup.

Two days after getting some solid sleep, I tackled a scaled 16.2 to manage 174 reps. I squeaked out one last rep just as the clock was buzzing. Was pretty proud of myself considering I got to eight minutes and it was a total lung-burner.

My 16.2 cheerleaders

Last week, I was still nursing my bruised ribs. I did a few of the 21-Day Fix workouts at home and Friday, I completed 16.3-scaled. I never strategize before I do a WOD (though I should!); had I done some calculations before, I would have gone for seven rounds + reps. Instead, I took too many breaks and did six rounds + six reps, for a total score of 96.

Here’s hoping for more time at CrossFit Full Strength this next week!
