Thursday, March 31, 2011. I'm looking forward to WOD #2 tomorrow, or more precisely- I'm looking forward to being done with WOD #2 tomorrow. I haven't CrossFitted all week- as other, INCREDIBLY FUN things have been getting in the way. Wednesday night boxing was an all sparring class. 3 x 3 minutes of jump rope, and then 15 x 3 min sparring rounds. Freakin' amazing, dude. A redhead, afterall. Yeaaahhh, "MJ" I think it is. Wednesday, March 30, 2011. Getting beat up by alicia. Tuesday, March 29, 2011. And f...

Monday, February 28, 2011. Busy, busy, busy, beat. Friday 10 am Class:. There was some sort of Snatch/OH Squat routine going on, but taking the jump out of the Snatch is making my snatch even more discombobulated, so I went with a 3RM for the OH Squat instead). 63, 83, 93, 103F, 103. 10 HP Clean (73#). I have it written down in my journal, but I don't have my journal with me. Finished off with a bit of handstand practice. Sunday: Open Gym with Jessie! DB Snatch (each arm) 20#. 183, 183, 183. This was a r...

here lives happiness: Tuesday Workout in the Park
http://paleoerad.blogspot.com/2011/07/tuesday-workout-in-park.html
Tuesday, July 12, 2011. Tuesday Workout in the Park. A serious case of snooze-button-itis resulted in an inability to make it to work on time through purely push-pedal methods. Sam stepped in and saved my arse, driving my grumpy butt to Scotts Valley (and even buying me coffee). What a guy. Lunchtime workout in the park:. 3 rounds (couldn't make it through 4). Oddly, my back cramped on the air squats, in exact same area that it cramped on the KB swings last night. Diagnosis? Extremely poor KB technique.

Friday, July 9, 2010. After a hectic morning (note to self: do not try to fit new cleats/shoes at 6:30 in the morning), I made it out the door only to be foiled by a flat tire near Ocean St. I'm pretty adept at changing tires, even on the roadside, but when I discovered that my spare tube also had a leak I was plumb out of luck. I made up for it on a lunchtime ride, hitting Glenwood Drive up to here:. Home via Granite Creek and Branciforte Drive, then down by the water, enjoying Santa Cruz sunshine.

Monday, August 30, 2010. Some serious kind of tired. 6 am - 1st class in the new box and it RULED. Shoulder to Overhead - any way you want - 2 RM. Interspersed with 3 sets of max pullups. I picked the split jerk (I've only done these a couple of times and need all the practice I can get). 63, 73, 83, 93, 103. The jerks felt pretty wonky, but since I have no sense for the movement or timing, I was pretty happy to just get them done. And one more babystep on my way to being fit. Sunday, August 29, 2010.

Thursday, July 21, 2011. Bike ride to and from work. And I am a sleepy, tired girl. Wednesday, July 20, 2011. Legs, legs, legs. 85 mile bike ride, averaging 15mph). Lunchtime at the track. 1 mile @ 7:45. 1 mile @ 8:00. 800m cool down jog. Running still feels ROUGH. But I signed up for my first triathlon. 10 overhead squats w/ bar. 10 toes to bar. 6x1 squat clean @ 90%. 3 hang power cleans. Rest 1 minute between rounds. I bumped up a bit in weight as I went along. Monday, July 18, 2011. Wednesday was for ...

Friday, April 29, 2011. Keeping track of 10 rounds. I was moving s.l.o.w. today- but it was still nice to get outside. I had a hard time with the double unders. I'd get 15 one round and then 3 and 2 and 1 and 3 and 1 etc. the next round- then it'd be back to 15 in a row again. I couldn't quite figure out what I was doing wrong. Maybe I'm just tired. In other news, I'M EXCITED FOR THE WEEKEND. Thursday, April 28, 2011. 84 84 84 84! WOD 6 is done! I was aiming for 40 reps and hoping. AMRAP in 7 minutes.

Monday, July 25, 2011. An 800 m run? 53x2, 73x2, 93x2, 103x2, 108x2. WOD, partnered with Alvin. 50 front squats 103#. 60 pull ups (scaled down from 12 rope climbs). And I know that's a problem. I need to work on the way I allow myself to think about things that are hard. Honestly, sometimes that is one of the most challenging parts of CrossFit: the realization that I slip quite easily into fear and anxiety, or I begin to waver in my commitment to do what I know I should. Everyone there knows I am a slow ...

Wednesday, August 3, 2011. Squat Cleans and Burpees. Still working on my 2nd pull and the starting position and tonight it really started to come together a bit more. 5-4-3-2-1 Squat Clean 103#. This was a wonderfully short wod, but each of those last squat cleans was a fight. When you make the mistake of catching one in the power clean position and then have to squat with it, the motivation to catch each and every clean in the squat position sky rockets!

Friday, January 13, 2012. Friday, January 13, 2012. 2 Power Cleans 2 hang cleans. 2 Power snatches 2 hang snatches. Power snatches are still light, but they feel great! AMRAP in 10 minutes. Move odd objects, team wod. 1 round is to move the following from one side of the gym to the middle of the gym. 1 sled with 50#. 2 sand bags 35/25. I was partners with Liz, and we tried several variations of moving our objects. Links to this post. Tuesday, January 10, 2012. Getting back into the swing of things. Diet ...
