Well.... I had my first Crossfit malfunction.....:) Don't worry, it was not too terribly bad... :) I made it almost 6 months of my workouts without getting hurt!
The box jump got the best of me last week... I was at the end of a really good workout and I had decided that I wanted to get in a couple sets of box jumps before I headed home... I debated a little whether to do them, but decided I needed to, so I pulled out the box and got set up to start...
Needless to say I didn't get too far in the jumps... I should have listened to my gut to not do them that particular day! I made the first jump and my foot caught the front lip of the box and I came crashing into the box, square on my shin and then landed on my arm as I threw my arms in front of me on the box so I didn't plow my face into it!!! Holy cow what pain!!!! Luckily I was on campus at the university and limped myself across the football field to my better half to have him fix me..... He just shook his head and went and got two bags of ice and put me on the training table with the bags attached to my shin and knee...
Now that I'm feeling not quite so sore, I need to get back on that box... :) I will admit though, its gonna be a big mental challenge at first.... I'm willing to bet that everyone of us that has ventured into the Crossfit life has at least one malfunction happen to them!! :)
Stay healthy and fit and get back onto that Box!!!
