It’s beginning to look a lot like CrossFit … I’ve been out of a regular CrossFit “box” for quite some time, doing outdoor, .com, Football, and Outlaw WODs. I have the motivation and determination that allows me to train by myself, and I like it. But I also miss the community, the competition, and the [...]

“I know you’re good at squats because …”

100s
CrossFit Workout: 100 Thrusters for Time. Maximum pain in the minimum amount of time. Me: 12:10 at 75#, the soreness kicked in before the reps were even done. The personal trainer next to me watched me complete my reps and said, “I wanna be like you when I grow up.” He’s older than me. Today, [...]

Wendler 531
I’m doing it! Just finished week 1. Pretty excited about it. Still yoga-ing a lot too. I think they work well together. Hit it hard, stretch it hard? Also funny: how this article: i-heart-powerlifting-and-im-not-bulky-or-masculine went totally viral in a day. CrossFitting women all love powerlifting. I love powerlifting too. What was it about this particular article or [...]

Aspen: It’s Me or the Dog
As you probably know from my postings here and obsessively on twitter, it’s never going to be me or the dog. We are a package deal. I am one of those dog owners. Who has her dog on her phone case (I’d take a pic to show you, but I take most of my pics [...]

Off-Balance Snatch Balance
So apparently I’ve never snatch-balanced before. Yesterday’s .com workout was 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 snatch balance and I thought, oh yay! a skill we hardly ever work on! Um. Make the “never” not “ever” for me. After a light warmup, I loaded up 105#, thinking it was a great starting place before my “work” reps. Ha. Good one, [...]
