Hi ladies!! Yesterday's workout was a 3.78 mile run, my farthest run to date. I'm feeling a little more confident re: this 4 mile run on Sunday! :eek: I've got a CrossFit class planned later today. I don't have to go to work today (MLK Holiday) but I'm working from home. If I feel like it I...

Happy Saturday! :) Today was the re-grand opening of my CrossFit box (it moved to a bigger building a few weeks ago). The WOD was dedicated to the wife of a member (Mendy) who was recently diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. There were probably 100+ people at the event from all different...

Morning ladies!! I actually started writing my check-in post several times yesterday, but kept getting interrupted. Next thing I knew it was quitting time! :rolleyes: Today is my rest day, so no workout. Yesterday's CrossFit workout was a shortie but a goodie. We started with high knees...

Good morning! No workout for me yet today, but I've got a Crossfit class planned for after work. Wendy: Were you able to sleep better last night? I can't imagine your frustration not being able to sleep for several hours in the middle of the night. I've heard mixed reviews re: P90x3...

Hi ladies! Sorry I failed to check-in yesterday. It was one of those crazy insane days. As I promised, I went on a 2.5 mile run with my sister on Friday evening. Saturday was my rest day. Sunday I went on a 3.1 mile run and I did it under 30 minutes (barely - my time was 29:59, lol)...

Hello! :) As promised, I went on a 2.5 mile run yesterday. My time was approximately 10:15/mile, and 25:50 total. It's not my best time, but that's okay. :) I know as I add distance my time is going to slow down. Running has never come easy to me, but i'm enjoying the challenge. I also spent...

Hi ladies! I survived a crazy hard CrossFit workout yesterday. I think our coaches are trying to punish us for all our awful holiday eating. :o;) Anyway, we started with 2 minutes of jumping rope + mobility stretches (which are AWESOME). After that, we did 5x3 back squats. I worked up to 105...

Hello!! Yesterday's CrossFit workout consisted of: (I) 50 jumping jacks + shoulder and spider stretches. (II) Snatch - I worked up to my heaviest weight to date - 35 pounds. :eek::p;) It's still pathetic compared to most, but i'm happy. I notice that other people use heavier weight but...

Good morning!! Thank you both for your kind words regarding the adoption. We are very excited, nervous, stressed, hopeful, etc. :D Speaking of the adoption, we spent most of the weekend painting what will be the kids' room. I'm exhausted! I was excited to come back to work this morning so I...

Hello! I took a rest day today. I almost didn't because I've been missing quite a few workouts lately, but I chalk that up to the Holidays. ;) I'm ready to get back on track. I do have some exciting adoption news to share. We've had no luck with the domestic adoption, so we recently...
