Crossfit Day 312 – Hero DT – Veterans Day WOD – 11/11/13

We did Hero DT in honor of Veterans Day, which is pretty awesome! I love that we do memorial WODs on such spectacular days to honor people who have served and/or died in the line of duty. It makes it more powerful to finish the workout, at least I think so. WOD: Hero “DT” 5…

A Much-Needed Break – Plantar Fasciitis and CrossFit – 11/8/13

So… we went to a giant sign show in Orlando that’s one of the biggest in the industry, and in the process, ended up walking over 20 miles over the course of 2 days. I decided my New Balance WR20s would be perfect for the occasion. They are mostly flat shoes with a tiny little…

Halloween Awesomeness – 10/31/13

I didn’t WOD but I dressed up for it! How cute am I? Liz is so tiny compared to me! Our 5:30p group! Counting and organizing all the new Fall 2013 Hoodies! Yup. Rocking my red Lululemon crops. They weren’t nearly as obnoxious as I thought.. well, I mean they were, but they looked better…

Power Yoga and a Two Hour Massage – 10/27/13

Holy amazing. I should do this every Sunday. I made breakfast, ran errands, sewed some new key fobs, cleaned up a bit around the house; all with the knowledge that at 4p I’d have my Practice With a Purpose at Big Fish today..  Yesterday at the last minute, I booked an appointment with Chuck for…

Crossfit Day 309 – Saturday WOD – 10/26/13

I don’t remember the details, just that it was a partner WOD, involved Bear Crawls, DUs and running. I ended up running 3? 4? 400m runs, but on the first one, my left foot and arch instantly started hurting, BADLY. Sharp pains and cramping is what it felt like. Stupid. After walking 20+ miles at…

Crossfit Day 308 – Mini Kalsu – 10/22/13

Today we had a 10 minute Kalsu, thankfully, and not the full 100 thrusters for time. (awful.) As an FYI, Kalsu was my very first WOD at CFTC over a year ago, and I never really look forward to doing that one, although I’ll never forget it. 🙂  Today we worked on: Skill: 30 Muscle…
