Good Morning

Sat, 18 May 2013 08:04:55 -0400

I calculated the number of calories in the “Paleo Granola Bars” with the pretty pictures I keep seeing.

IF it makes 24 (I had to guess, it doesn’t say), they are 290.

Good luck to all the racers this weekend!! Robb is running a 50k!

————-

I have been getting 40-75% of my fitbit activity on the trampoline (which we decided to call a jumpoline now).

You guys are super inspirational, whether running one mile or walking at the park or Jazzercising or deadlifting 500#.

Fri, 17 May 2013 13:33:35 -0400

Strength:

Deadlifts 4 x 12: 85#, 115#, 133#, 163#

WOD:

3 rounds:

15 sumo deadlift high pulls @ 65#
15 burpees over the bar
15 toes-to-bar

16:30 rx, but felt dead the whole time and not very efficient.

Then, tabata ab stuff with wall balls.

Humidity + lady business = sluggish sweat fest. Just wanted to lay down and die.

WOD wodded, post posted. Now, work work-ed.

Next time we cheer a race, we should all wear these. (Because we aren’t meeting up and running again, are we?!! Let’s just be grumpy cheerers.)

Can you call it an omelette if there is no cheese, or is this just scrambled egg with stuff in it?

Butternut squash soup is better than dry toast.

No wheat choices have saved me from many cookies, pretzel chips and Triscuits this week.

I only know of one English bastard sick enough to sign up for the new CrossFit gym in town which focuses completely on ROWING.

xpltv — NOBODY LIKES TO ROW, YOU SICK FUCK!! ;-)

But in case somebody does like to row, the new box is hosted at the indoor rowing club downtown on River Rd. Every single WOD has rowing.

And I BET when the weather is nice, they will actually use boats on the river! We’ll see!

Somehow, I ended up in the CoreFit CrossFit Games Sweepstakes - Final Round where the winner gets an all expenses paid trip to the 2013 CrossFit Games in California.

I just need the most votes on my photo. It would be extremely awesome for all you Tumblr folks out there to hit this page up with a vote for yours truly. Promise to bring you back something cool if I win.

EDIT: Fixed the link

Votey vote vote!

WOD: CrossFit 05.14.2013

Tue, 14 May 2013 14:17:25 -0400

7am Yoga: Check. Got all bendy.

Strength: Check. Made for some ugly face.

Bench Press 4x6: 105#, 115#, 125#, 125#

WOD: Check. Got all schweddy.

“Breham”:

10 — 15 foot Rope climb
20 — 225/155 pound squat
30 Handstand push-ups
Row 40 calories

19:something. Subbed 2x rope scales for the climb. Strong enough to do them, I’m just afraid of heights. So the scale is you just lay on your back and pull yourself up then lower yourself back down to your back. Squats felt heavy. I’m still not a very confident squatter.

Currently going in my face.

WOD: CrossFit 05.12.2012

Sun, 12 May 2013 16:16:28 -0400

Strength:

Push Press 4x10 @ 63#, 73#, 83#, 93#

Next time for 10’s, I should start at 73. Still had gas in the tank.

Then DU practice — I can do them now!! Next up is stringing them together. Woohoo!

WOD:

5 rounds of:
- 2 wall walks
- 4 ring dips
- 6 burpee box jumps
- 8 clapping push-ups
- 10 jumping squats
- 12 ft monkey bars

Those bars are so high up! Scares me every time to jump off at the end.

I keep thinking about not posting boring WOD posts any more, but then I remember the hundreds of WODs posted by people like @rxingmyazzoff and @for-time that made me finally work up the nerve to walk into the gym. You never know who might be inspired by the most mundane posts!
