Haha, from awesome blog Barbells and Bacon. The “Choose 3” situation is also fitting for today. ZT coached our class and chose 3 awesome things for our 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 WOD: 95# Thrusters (this is heavy and you’ll remember I knocked a tooth loose the last time I did thrusters) 30 inch box jumps (yep, that says…

Put that in your tweet and smoke it
Sometimes, and by sometimes I mean most times lately, Mike likes to keep us guessing on what our workout will be. CrossFitters in Central’s coed classes get tweets the night before so they know what the workout is the next morning, we get nothing. Technically we’re supposed to always do the .com workout, but Mike…
“You’re not strong enough”
It seems like handstand pushups are all anyone thinks about these days. That and doubleunders, which Mike has had us doing in our warmup every single day since. Strength is pretty much all I’ve been thinking about though. Tuesday, before my hands ripped, Mike asked me why I wasn’t getting my chin all the way…
Feels Like Home
My first day back at CrossFit Central in .com class was fun. And by fun I mean I had to drag myself there, hated the workout, but left with a smile on my face and pep in my step. It was like the early days of .com–I was the only girl, and pullups are not…

CrossFit Portland
Stopped into CrossFit Portland this morning for a strength workout: WOD 3/10/2010 post load and J’s best quotes to comments A) Hang Squat Snatch – advanced: work up to a max single; then 1-1-1 @ 80% of today’s max beginner: 6-8 sets of 3; focus on skill. B) OH Squat – 3 attempts at max…
“Maybe it’s time we get you a helmet”
Let’s hope skiing is good prep for CrossFit, because I’ve clearly been doing more of the former even though I’m competing this weekend in the latter … I did my first black run yesterday on Mt. Hood, and YARD SALED: (this is not actually me, thanks google images) It was a narrow, narrow stretch of…
Long Run
I haven’t run long distances in quite some time–CrossFit says I don’t have to, after all. But on vacation, I gotta get in what I can, so when Caitlin asked if anyone wanted to go on a long run this morning, I volunteered myself. She woke me up at 6:40am. I do not get up…
