Hi gals! Yesterday's CrossFit workout was a doozie...I secretly enjoyed it. :D After a thorough warm-up we did a WOD called "Deck of Cards." I'm sure you've heard/seen something similar before. A full deck of cards was placed in the middle of the room. One card was flipped over at a time...

Hello. Sorry I have not been checking in this week. Nothing to report except a few walks with my dog. I'm not allowed to workout for at least another week (as ordered by my doctor). Well, not allowed to do strenuous exercise that is. The pain gets a little better each day, though still not...

Hi girlies!! Whew, we got some rough weather here yesterday/last night. I didn't go in to work today. There's no way I could have made it; the roads are just now passable. Saturday I went on a 5 mile run, my longest to date, at a 10 minute/mile pace. I was happy with my performance, but my IT...

TGIF!! Today's is my rest day, so no workout for me. Yesterday's CrossFit workout was an interesting one. After the normal-type warm-up we worked on rope climbs. I've never attempted to climb a rope before. It took me several tries to figure it out, but I did it! :eek::eek: All the way to...
