I know things have been quiet around here lately.  I have been working out pretty religiously 6 days a week and just can’t seem to find the time to update here like I should.  I feel like after I workout I have so many things to update between my WOD tracker and Daily Mile that the blog just seems to lag behind.

Anyways, I was supposed to do crossfit today but couldn’t get my butt out of bed this morning so I missed it.  I was bummed until Wes told me he is off tomorrow.  I figured I could do tomorrow’s WOD to make up for today and then run my 2 miles and not have missed anything.  Well, I just saw tomorrow’s WOD and let’s just say that if I finish in the time allowed, I certainly do not need to run another 2 miles tomorrow afternoon.

“Hidalgo”

For time:
Run 2 miles
… Rest 2 minutes
135 pound Squat clean, 20 reps
20 Box jump, 24” box
20 Walking lunge steps with 45lb plate held overhead
20 Box jump, 24” box
135 pound Squat clean, 20 reps
Rest 2 minutes

60 minute time limit

Last night I was hungry after crossfit, had little to no food in the house and decided to throw something together. 

This:

PLUS 2 wedges of this (and a dash of milk):

=Yummy goodness. 

We only had the Mozzarella and Sun-Dried Tomato & Basil cheese last night but it was pretty good.  I can’t wait to do a repeat when I get more of the chipolte cheese.  A full serving bowl (that I couldn’t finish) was only about 275 calories.  Not to shabby at all.  Also, it took less than 15 minutes and was so easy. 

WOD: “Manion”
7 rounds for time of:
Run 400m
Back Squat x 29 (135/95)

Time: 40:12

I have never heard of this WOD and hope to never hear of it again.  It was really tough.  I started at 65lb but quickly dropped to 45lb so I could work on my form.  It was tough.

I have been working on a new workout schedule for the past couple of weeks and it has been tough but I have been sticking to it.  I have 2 miles on tap for tomorrow.  I don’t know if I will even be able to walk.  We will see.

Some of you may remember my post last year about the Susan Komen breast cancer walk. I am so excited to say that my mom is flying in and will be walking with us this year. We are so excited to not only have her come down but to have her walk wih us. She kicked breast cancer’s butt and I couldn’t be more proud of her.

Thanks!

Just finished up the two miles I had scheduled for tonight.  My goal this evening was to do the run in under 11 minute miles.  I am happy to say I met my goal.  It was a lot of work, and I certainly have a lot of work to do.

2 miles = 20:52

Mile 1- 9:48

Mile 2- 11:02

I have never been big into making New Years resolutions because it seems like they are always very quickly broken.  My one and only goal for this year is to look back on Decmber 31, 2012 at this 2 mile run and laugh at how hard I had to work tonight.

It’s not impresive but I will get better. 

On another note I received a Garmin Forerunner 405 for Christmas.  I love it but can’t seem to get it to connect to my computer.  I am starting to think there is something wrong with the ANT+ stick.  Anyone have any tips?

“Kelly”

Five rounds for time of:
Run 400 meters
30 Box jump, 24 inch box (20 inch and step ups)
30 Wall ball shots, 20 pound ball (10lb ball)

Time: 34:20

This was a tough WOD.  I was still really sore from the two prior days but decided to give it my best.  I did better than I expected to but it was still a struggle. 

I have worked through some of my insecurities and am starting to feel better about the gym.  I feel like I have a half way decent idea of what is going on and have been feeling better about the whole place all around.  Wes actually signed up and took his first On Ramp course last night.  He is hating life today because he is so sore. 

Clean and Jerk 1-1-1-1-1 (65lb)

WOD: “Annie”
50-40-30-20 and 10 rep rounds of:
Double-unders
Sit-ups

Time: 9:55

After Party:

15-12-9-6-3

KB Swings (20lb)

Burpees

Ugh.  Two WOD’s in12 hours were a bad idea.  I am wiped.  I made myself get up and go at 5:30AM today because I know I can’t go tonight.  The warm up and skill this morning seemed to take forever so I felt really pressed for time.  Matt didn’t post the After Party until halfway thought the WOD so I knew I would have to hurry to finish in time so I could get home before Wes has to leave for work.  I jumped into the second WOD immediately after finishing Annie and felt a little dizzy.  My body just wanted to rest.  I don’t know how long the second part of the WOD took, but it was under 10 minutes because the clock was just hitting 20 when I was leaving. 

I am so tired now.  Please excuse me while I go nap under my desk.
