25 years and counting.

I will only make 2 Crossfit workout this week but that's cause yesterday my hubby and I celebrated our 25 year anniversary.  Yep, married 25 years.  Sounds weird cause it doesn't feel like 25 years.  So I took half a day off work then in the evening, we took the kids out to eat.  Yummie steak!  So yummie!!

Today was a partner WOD.  Neesie came with me, and she's a great partner.  Ok, so she didn't give her old fat mother much chance to catch her breath, but she was a great partner.

The workout was a 15 min AMRAP workout consisting of:
20 Box Jumps
20 Squats
20 Pullups
20 burpees.

We split them 10 of each.  We got through 4 rounds, but I have a feeling had I told Nees to do 20 box jumps at the end she would have busted them like a champ!    She even said she was coming back with me tomorrow.   What a champ!

I love Crossfit

I was so sad for the last couple of weeks.  I have had other commitments that have kept me from getting to Crossfit.  I tried to workout at home, but well, I just don't push myself nearly as hard as I do when I'm with my fellow Misfits at my box.  I just don't have the same feeling working out at home like I use to.

Well, this week, I've managed to get to 3 WODs and I freaking LOVE IT!

Yes, I bitch and moan during the WOD.  Yes, I feel sometimes, even if I give it my all, I should be doing better.  Yes, I sometimes wonder why I bother to show up, I don't think I can do that WOD,  I just want to quit, that I actually pay to do this when I could use the money on new shoes. 

Then the workout is over, and I feel elated that I survived. I did something so awesome for myself!  I'm over the moon that I can see how far I've come.  I can see where I want to go. 

I'm going to rock Crossfit this summer, and things are only gonna get better.  

I love Crossfit!

Oh my aching ass!

WOW!  What a WOD!  It had running in it, but it was only a 200m run.  But it was several times.   We ran a 400 for part of a warm up.  Then here was the workout:
 run 200,
 20 burpees,
 run 200,
20 burpees,
200 yard walking lunges,
run 200,
100 rockers,
10step ups
and another 200.

Holy crap!  WTF!   200 yards of walking lunges.  My ass is on fire!

And let me tell you how hard it was to run again right after that.

But I did it, and I ran every step of the way!
