Catching up part 2: May 2012

I almost gave up keeping this blog updated. It's not really a blog anyway. I just use it as a place to log my workouts. I decided to keep it b/c the other site I log my food on has no search for past activities.

Where is winter?

I can only recall one day where it was below 32, but maybe I don't remember them all. Anyway, the other day it was 83 degrees. In January! Unreal. A couple years ago we did a WOD at Crossfit Central for the I Am Crossfit challenge in a crazy 17 degrees.

Thankfully we're getting some rain. The weeds in my yard are thriving. I have a fun weekend of working on my yard ahead. I am super pumped about that...yeah, sure :)

Active rest day, did restorative yoga and took dogs for a walk

Bonk

Today was one of those days. I thought I felt pretty OK then slowly started feeling kinda blah...then I got to my class and just bonked. I had basically jack shit today. It sucked. I sucked. I fell off the box on box jumps twice. I'd never done that before, ever. I just feel sacked. I'm looking forward to yoga later, though. It'll help me get focused and centered again. No time to worry about a bad workout today, for tomorrow I will wake up and hit it.

Fitness is not a resolution

It's that time of year again. Tons of people are donning their running shoes and heading to the gym. It's fantastic, but how many will be there in March? August? Rather than a resolution to "get fit," why not set specific goals?

Here are my 2011 fitness goals:

1) CFT 1050
2) 5k run in under 25:00
3) 15 unbroken pullups (kipping)
4) HSPU as RX
5) Complete CC Flyers as RXd (3 rounds: 400m run, 21 box jump, 12 overhead squat 95lb)


The first mile of the run today was such a struggle. I felt like my body was not wanting to run at all. I felt the urge to pee, my back started hurting, and the arches of my feet started rebelling. Maybe it was trying to see how committed I was to the 5k. Whatever the case, I pushed through and completed the run while increasing the pace as I went, which I am happy about.  I've done a good bit of running over the last couple weeks, and it just may be getting a bit easier. Time to push harder, right?

10/26 - Smoke free six years today

Pretty neat eh? Six years ago I smoked my last cigarette.

Exposed. Today at Crossfit Central sucked, mainly because I suck at overhead squats. If you were to ask me if I practice them, I would have to tell you no. So why would I expect to get better at them? Grrrr
