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! 05-11-09 Rest! 0510-09 "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. 05-09-09 "Nine of Spades" 21-...

I can't help it, I am a busy person

I have been traveling, and trying to catch up on work. I was hoping I would feel refreshed after 10 days off, but it feels like I never left. I am constantly trying to catch up. However I did have a good time in Florida! I met a lot of Michael's friends and is families away from home! They came from all over and were so friendly! If they are ever in Montana, I hope they know they have a place to stay! 05-05-09 Happy Cinco de Mayo! Game qualifier WOD 21-15-9 Snatch 65# Pull Ups Chest to Bar 14:59 Whew made the game time cutoff however about 5-8 of my pull ups weren't quite Chest to Bar. On the bright side I felt really sluggish warming up, but my pull ups felt really strong. Not fast, but strong. I did them in sets of 3-4 they were a little easier to connect than last week. So yay for that. I was really tired today I woke up about 3 am and tossed and turned til 5 when the alarm went off. I was thinking about work, the CrossFit games qualifiers, work more, and other ...

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. 090416 5 Rounds for time 5 95# Thrusters 10 24" Box jumps 8:02 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 f...

I should have stayed in bed

I don't know if I was tired or hungry, but I tanked this WOD and then I felt crappy call day. I did not sleep well, maybe that was it. I fell asleep fine, and was out pretty hard til about 1 or 2 am then I toss and turn from there, and yawn all day. 090407 3 Rounds For Time 4 Handstand Pushups 8 Pullups 12 Deadlifts 135# 16 Box Jumps 20" 9:27 I felt like I should be going faster and I couldn't.

Giant Arm

Already neglecting this poor thing. I need to get in a better habit of getting pictures and remembering times before I head to Livingston, or big gaps like this happen. Since I have a few WODS (work out of the day) to post I am going to put the most recent first so they stay in order. Its a quick and rare glimpse of me trying to be organized. 090406 "Cindy" As many rounds as possible ( AMRAP ) in 20 min of: 5 Pullups 10 Pushups 15 Squats 12 Rounds PR (personal record) by 2 rounds This was ok . My shoulder and arm felt weird. My right side has been really tight and sore the past few days and today it felt off too. Today it felt swollen almost. From my bicep to thumb. It felt like it was 2x the size of my other arm. I measured, its not. On a good note I did around 60% of my pullups with getting my Chest to the bar. I haven't been able to do that in a WOD yet so I was pleased. I wasn't even trying. Like round 4 or 5 it just happened . However I still st...

JUMPING ON THE BANDWAGON

Seems like everyone has a blog these days, who am I to go against the flow? My goal is to keep family and friends updated on what I am doing. Since day by day I seem to get busier and busier and forget to tell people things like, oh yeah I moved or quit this job and started a couple businesses. Funny, I found time to do this though. I hope to update it every day. Anyway there may be some rants and raves on this page, I will try to keep it positive mostly and hopefully WFS. No promises, but I will try to warn you. Sorry Grandma and Grandpa there are going to be lots of videos and pictures on here you won't be able to view. Unless you get a different computer!! As far as making this page "pretty" good luck. I am not so computer savoy. Be on the watch for random design changes or experiments. OK today is day one of my workout cycle (3 on 1 off) 5 Rounds For Time: 9 Reps Hang Squat Clean (HSC) 115# 9 Gymnastics Kip Pullups with blue band 14:55 The prescribed work...
