Walking a mile in someone else's shoes is nothing compared to this!

I am exhausted. I am falling asleep mid sentence and not moving until my alarm goes off. I am so glad it is a rest day and very anxious for some time out of Bozeman. I know I was just out of town, but I am looking for some down time. I want to sleep as long as I want, wake up and NOT have to be somewhere.

I forgot my shoes, because I forget everything these days. It is a good thing my head is attached. I used Jenna's shoes, they are only 1/2 a size smaller than I normally wear, good idea right? Hmmm little squished and awkward. She has some funky inserts that are well formed to her foot, not so much to mine. How bad could it be? Oh good god! Have you ever done 95# thrusters with a cramp in your toes and both arches all at the same time? I have, 40 of them to be exact and 40 box jumps on top of that. The first round it felt like my right foot was going to explode through what felt like a barbed wire fence. That went away going box jump to thrusters. But once I picked up the bar ready for thruster #6 both feet cramped. It hurt so bad even just holding the bar in the racked position hurt. I considered quitting with the explosion feeling, but thought eh its only 10 min. When I was finished I ripped the shoes off both my mangled feet. I got my arches to quit but my left 2nd toe wouldn't straighten out. Still this morning if I even look at it , it cramps. Thrusters and burpees make me feel like a cramp is coming on and sometimes I'll get one on a max effort, but never like this. That is something I won't be doing again.

145-155-165PR-175F-175F-175PR

Yay! last PR was 160# of a HPC because I become afraid of getting under the bar. No video because I did not announce my attempt. It looks like a hard front squat.

Rest

Drive back from Boulder. booooooooooring. So I bugged Jenna with random deep questions.
Wyoming, get yourself a CrossFit already!

090411 and 090412

Gymnastics cert with Tucker at Front Range CF. Oh my gosh I am still sore. Had an absolute BLAST! Lesson of the weekend. I am not strong.

CFT
Back Squat 215-225-230 (PR because I can't remember)
Shoulder Press 95-100-105 (5# PR)
Deadlift 265 (PR 1#) 275F-275F
Total = 600 PR

Did this one down in Boulder at Garage 4150, (WFS) Thanks Nichole!I'll take that! I can't remember my all time PR on the BS I did a ridiculous amount one time, but I think I was helped. I can't remember so I guess it can't count. Last total was 120 or 125. Deadlift PR has finally been broken. 265 was 9 months ago? I have had severe form issues and finally I am getting it back together.

Fran and a Rant

I'm still running around busy as usual and not really training. I have been having trouble in my front squats. The right side of my back feels like its about to blow when I hit 195# in sets of three. The first one goes alright but the next two are frightening. I haven't gone up in weight for fear I will really pull something. Plus its really hard! I am pretty sure I have done over 205# for three to five. But I also thought that was on vimeo but I guess that was only like 165# or 175# so maybe I really haven't done sets at 205. Hmmm. I set a max pullup record. Old record was like 11 or 12, got 16 the other day. I think I could have done more if I regripped a little better but I lost it and fell off. I am still horrible at pullups. And finally I attempted "Fran" today (21-15-9 reps of 65# thrusters and pullps for time) I was dreading this. I can't even remember the last time I did this I think it has been over 6 months but I know my time was 6:46. I was hop...

Here we go....

Today's marks the first day of a new diet experiment.  Well not entirely new, but kinda.  Lets do a little back tracking.  On my dieting/lifestyle changes in around October 2009 after attending CF Nutrition cert with Robb Wolf.  I decided to give Paleo a serious go.  Everyone had a blog talking about all these great changes upon going Paleo, weight loss, feeling great, performing well, the world becoming a new a brighter world. Well I quite frankly didn't really have any of that.  I didn't really lose any weight.  Performance did well, but I had never plateaued, so was it diet or just getting better at CF?  I will say I think it did help with my recovery and soreness, but other than that I didn't FEEL any different.  Other then when I cheated, then, then I paid a mighty price...but only sometimes.  My stomach became bipolar.  One day good eating 'good', another bad while eating 'good'.  And both of the opposites there too....
