You can just call me an athlete!

Because I have gone and signed up for a Crossfit competition in Sept.

Somehow, when I was oxygen deprived, I decided that signing up for the Master Women division was a wonderful idea, and I did it,

So, now I'm not just a chubby mom of 43 looking to get into better shape doing Crossfit.  I'm a Crossfit athlete training for a competition.    How about that. 

So, I've got just under 3 months to work hard, and get so I don't totally embarrass myself. I don't mind coming in last, cause someone has to. I just don't want to feel like I did bad.

I hit Crossfit Mon and Tue.  And today, my shoulders were so sore I just couldn't make myself go.  So I hit the nature trail and did 3 miles of walk/run.  Should have timed myself so I can keep track of any improvements.  I'll look for my gymboss so I can start timing myself.   I ran portions of each quarter mile, except for one.  I was getting tired and hungry.  I'm going to try and do more run/walks or in my case for now, more walks than runs, on off Crossfit days.  I will always give myself one day just off, cause a rest day is so needed.

And then, shortly after I signed up for my competition, I found this on either Tumblr or Pinterest.

Its now my new motto til at least Sept 7th.  Maybe longer if it helps.
