30 minute run

ran down Kensington to 47th and back

can still feel it in my arms but it's not that bad.

Crossfit games WOD #2 came out yesterday

10 minute AMRAP

30 snatch 45#

30 snatch 75#

remainder 120#

I will have to scale this for sure if I even do it

I also think there is a chance my elbow is healed. Either that or the pain in my arms from the burpees is so bad that I cant feel the elbow pain anymore.

Just went out for a run this morning.

35 minutes

Ran over to Junior and Jessica's because I knew at least their lights would be on. Sometimes I feel like I am the only one awake in the 5 o'clock hour. I could see their bedroom light from blocks away.

My arms are killing me from those burpees. Will I ever feel normal again?

Jessica's work out 1-9-12

So I can't yet figure out how to become a contributor to this blog, so I used Katy's log in to post my work out today. It was nothing exciting, but it was a work out, which is a pretty big accomplishment in itself for me.

My goal was to run 4 miles in less than 32 minutes... which I did. I think I finished in 31:30 or so. So that goal was met, but then...

1) I threw up. I ate a few almonds before running so I wouldn't have an empty stomach, but it came back and bit me.

2) Emmy was up. Brian had already fed her and now it was my turn, so the work out was done.

I was SUPPOSED to do lunges, sit ups and push ups, but that did not happen. The goal for tomorrow is: 1 mile, a Tracy Anderson Work out, lunges, sit ups and some Pilates moves. The work out should be at least 40 minutes, I hope. We'll see if life allows for it...

Thanks Katy for letting me use your log in :)

Get Your Veggies

I want to share a way that helps me get some good veggies in me everyday. I bring a container of Trader Joe's Healthy 8 Chopped Veggie Mix to work and eat the container throughout the week. Because the veggies are hearty they stay fresh and delicious even at the end of the week. I leave a bottle of dressing at the office and I'm all set. Obviously that's not all I eat, but it's an easy way to have a salad with every lunch. You can find it in the refrigerated produce section.

Rest Day! YAY!

I realized there is a pattern on the Crossfit main site. Three days on, one day off. So that's what I will be following.

Food is Energy

My goal this year, is to start thinking of food as energy. I love to eat and I love to eat anything. This will be a tough one for me. I am going to do my best to eat to fuel my body and not to satisfy my stomach and taste buds. I eat too much because it tastes good, not any more.
