Clean and Jerk day!! I cleaned 150 (5 lbs under my PR) and it was actually pretty clean, I might add! Not too sloppy, but I wasn’t able to jerk it at 150lbs. 🙁 My Jerk PR is 140, so I was trying to get a higher number, but it just felt so heavy! I…
DetailsI WAS SO EXCITED ABOUT KALSU! Nobody ever says that.. ever.. BUT.. Kalsu was my VERY FIRST WOD at Crossfit Total Control, so this was a milestone for me! Roughly one year ago, when I first walked into CFTC, hoping it was going to be a good replacement for my first CF home, I was…
DetailsThe last 2 weeks have been a blur, and hectic, and insane. Dave and I have had to face some changes made at the office, which made for some scrambling around, not to mention, having to clean up messes that were left behind by others. Organizing, fixing, redoing, and reworking things to the way they…
DetailsSo it’s CrossFit tradition that you do Hero Murph on Memorial Day, and I was nervous at first, but then I embraced it. Running ain’t no thing! 😉 Well… I also decided to do 1/2 Murph again, so that I could compare my time to the miserable experience I had last year. Last year, running…
DetailsSaturday WOD.. Dodgeball! I had no idea we’d be playing dodge ball, but it was pretty cool! Spent about 15-20 min at it, and I got destroyed.. these stupid little foam balls, these guys could completely launch them with this crazy power! I can’t throw things that light with that kinda power. I’d throw my…
DetailsAlright, so since I got my 25 DUs in a row LAST Sunday (as in, 10 days ago or whatever, May 12th Sunday) I have had intermittent yet excruciating pain just on the inside of my shins where the bones meet my calf muscles. Diagram! See where my circle and X are? That’s where it…

DetailsSo clearly I’ve gotten off the bandwagon of going to Crossfit every single day. I’m finding it difficult to get back into my Crossfit on a daily basis routine, only because I’ve been monumentally sore after each workout, which is, essentially, my own fault, because I’m NOT GOING AS FREQUENTLY. My own fault. This will…
DetailsSo yeah.. there are a few things I’d like to talk about. Bring a friend day was awesome last week, totally my kind of workout awesome. Box jumps, kettlebells, push ups, jumping lunges, I was all over that! Yes, I brought a friend, she hated me for it. She WANTED to go.. was dying to…
