I am bad at this "updating daily" thing.....

I may not post everyday like I thought I was going to. Sorry, but keep watching I am hoping for 1 or 2 times a week!

05-12-09

5 Rounds for time of:
5 Squat Cleans
7 Burpees
9 Pullups CTB

12:53

I ate about and hour and half before this workout, and I was starving throughout it. I felt low engergy like I hadn't eaten in a month! However all CTB pull ups although my guts hurt so bad I couldn't connect as many as I would have like. 3-5 at a time. But better than a few days ago. Going to start ramping down a little to rest up for this weekends CrossFit Regional Qualifiers in Denver. I want to finish all the WODs as Rx'd and in the time limit, I hope I can!

Rest!

"GRACE"

95# Clean and Jerk
30 reps for time

3:50

Last time I did this I did it with 85# and it took me 3:26, think. I was hoping to be closer to the first time even though it was 10# heavier. I thought I was stronger, however form was better on this one.

"Nine of Spades"
21-15-9 Reps for time of:
Box Jumps
Kettlebell
SwingsSumo Deadlift High-Pull 75#

6:57

Felt good today. I decided I rest too much so I was trying to push through. I am pleased with this!

"Daniel"

50 Pullups
400m Run
21Thrusters 65#
800m Run
21 Thrusters 65#
400m Run
50 Pullups

15:27
Scaled 1/2 pullups and 45# thrusters

I should have done the full 65# but I thought it was going to take me longer and my legs were still tired from the previous run and squat. However the running felt really good today. Pullups however did not. I think I did negatives on most of them, I keep fighting my swing. Its so stupid! I am making it more difficult!

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

This was AWESOME!

I tried the intro to trapeze a few weeks ago, but his was a lot more intense! I went to an aerial fabric dancing workshop. This was very challenging but a lot of fun. Especially because have a problem with being up high (I wouldn't say I am afraid of heights- I just happen to panic when I notice I am up high that's all). I don't think I would have been able to do this had I not gone climbing/bouldering a few weeks ago and got a little more comfortable with my strength and trusting myself. Also I officially climbed the rope at the gym for the first time the day before, again the up high thing. So the first picture I am doing the 'gazelle' (?)oh I wish I had pointed my toes. The next pictures I don't know what the moves were called but I got to do a drop. You get your legs wrapped in the fabric (the diaper- wow uncomfortable- you can see my butt being squished), and you have to pull yourself up, pull your legs through, cross and pull legs through again.

Feeling tired

Well after my 2k I started to get a bit of a tickle in my lungs. I thought maybe it was a little left over "Grace" lung from a few days prior, but thinking back I felt like pooh after my 2k like shaky and achy. The next day I was really sore and achy too. It was a downhill spiral after that. My dear friend Erika from Tacoma, WA came to visit me! I thought it had only been a year or two since I last saw her, it has been 6!! Too long! She came to visit and I proceeded to cough more and sound worse. I got an awful rough sounding voice from all my coughing. After my throat healed up the cough changed and suddenly my ribs felt like they were going to bust. In particular the right side, which I cracked in high school, but no lump this time. Then last week on the car ride home to ND my left side started to ache. I tired to workout at home the first day went alright, the second was painful and slow, and my rib was quite angry after wards. I am thinking in one
