Travel WOD Jitters

I'm about to do one of the travel WODs listed here in my garage:

Run 1/2 mile 50 air squats – 3 rounds for time.

I'm anxious about doing this workout because I know it's going to be painful.  I'm interpreting this anxiety as a sign that I picked the right workout.  My goal for the workout is just to FINISH (no quitting permitted) and to do all my air squats with good form.  I want to use this workout to build my anaerobic and aerobic capacity - but mainly focus on the former.  I'm racing Summer this Monday if I make it through this workout.  I want to convince my mind that my body is ready to take on Summer in a couple days.

I'm scare enough of this workout that since I made the decision an hour ago to do it, I've been procrastinating.  Here are two things I've found while procrastinating:

1.  G7 Story - Veronica Garza  : really inspiring video about how a woman overcame Lupus by changing her diet and working out at a Crossfit box in Laredo, TX.  Made me cry.
Video screenshot of Veronica doing a weighted chin-up.  Amazing!


2.  Strong is the New Skinny Shirt : Cute T-shirt.  I want to buy myself this shirt when I am strong enough to do chin-ups and pull-ups without support.
WAAAANT!

 OK, now I'm getting hungry.  I need to do this work-out now or eat and delay the workout another 2 - 3 hours.

  1. I did the workout in 25 min 31.91 sec. I only teared up once (somewhere near the end of my 2nd set of 50 air squats).
