Good day
Tuesday, February 09, 2010 6:46 AM

Today is a good day, and it's about time I've actually thought that. The sun is shining. It's cold as heck out there, but I'm warm. My muscles are tired, but only that one glut muscle is bothering me, so I'm OK. I'm not exhausted for once in my life, and my stomach doesn't feel sick, so I ate a real breakfast for the first time in weeks, rather than a couple... Read More...

We meet again: Fight Gone Bad
Tuesday, February 02, 2010 7:10 AM

I've been rushing about the house in the hours since my workout ended this morning, and I haven't had much time to reflect on how I did. Now, sipping my tea, I can think about it, even though the dogs are running through the house, playing, and making a huge racket. They're fun to watch. Where was I? Oh yeah, the WOD: Fight Gone Bad 1 min max reps Row Wall Balls... Read More...

Week 3 over... whew

I've never been so happy that a week of the challenge is over. Between being sick and having to put off the WODs until the end of the week, I was fried. On Friday morning, with my stomach aching and the rain pounding away outside, I decided to do this challenge workout inside: For time: 100 dumbbell snatches (15#) I found the form hard to master, and I struggled...

"Carey"
Tuesday, November 10, 2009 6:38 AM

This morning's WOD was named for the co-founder of my gym -- a badass lady who placed 3rd at the 2009 Crossfit Games. The workout was actually one that she won -- finishing in just over 11 minutes. "Carey" 3 rounds for time (20 minute cutoff) 30 wall balls (M 20#/W 14#) 30 barbell snatch (M 75#/W 45#) Ouch. This one was brutal. I started with the prescribed weight... Read More...

Meet "Kelly"
Tuesday, October 06, 2009 6:03 PM

When I saw the WOD for today on Facebook, I worried like I haven't worried in months. Here's why: "Kelly" 5 rounds for time 400m run 30 box jumps 30 wall balls (14lbs W / 20lbs M) This one is a toughie. To top it off, my right knee has been bugging me during recent runs. I emailed Zach last night to let him know I need to sub rowing for running... Read More...
