It’s Been One Month 3 Sep 2012 | 08:01 am
I can’t believe a whole month has gone by since I started Crossfit. I know haven’t lost any weight (though I’ve been trying to stay away from the scale as much as possible), but I can feel differences...
F U Box! 31 Aug 2012 | 08:19 am
This was a big week for me – I introduced my husband to Crossfit (long story short, he threw up after the warmup), got my first RX, and defeated my fear of box jumps! Everything I had read about box …...
Happy Birthday to Me 25 Aug 2012 | 08:29 am
I turned 33 yesterday. Birthdays are special to me. As a child, my mom used to make a big deal out of birthdays, and though I’ve grown up, it’s still a special day for me. On my birthday, part of … Co...
Row Rabbit, Run Rabbit 22 Aug 2012 | 08:58 am
I hate running. I hate running almost as much as I like rowing. Today’s WOD combined running and rowing for a special kind of torture. I scaled 1000m rowing/400m running, and came in at 11:28. Part of...
Reebok Nano 21 Aug 2012 | 11:52 am
I don’t need another pair of shoes. I don’t even need another pair of shoes to workout in – my Vibram FiveFingers are fine for Crossfit. But…after reading that a shipment of Reebok Nanos were coming t...
Disappointed in Myself 21 Aug 2012 | 11:39 am
Today was a little disappointing. I wasn’t going to go to Crossfit because my shoulder had been bothering me all weekend, and one thing after another kept conspiring against me. At 5:45, I was pretty ...
The Plus Size Paradox 19 Aug 2012 | 07:53 am
I’ve spent my entire day shopping for a decent pair of workout pants. I don’t think I’m asking too much. I’m looking for something similar to a pair I already have. I need something that fits, that do...
I Kicked Ass! 14 Aug 2012 | 01:45 pm
Kicked ass at Crossfit today! I did 21, then 15, then 9 rounds of Deadlifts (85lbs) and Box Jumps (4″), then rowed 1600 meters, and I did it all in just over 21 minutes! I felt so accomplished!
Absolutely Terrified. 13 Aug 2012 | 01:42 pm
Absolutely terrified of tomorrow’s WOD at Crossfit So Ill – box jumps and a 1 mile run. I seriously almost broke down and cried today. I’m scared of getting hurt, and everything is so new and I don’t ...
It’s Official. 8 Aug 2012 | 01:40 pm
It’s official! I joined Crossfit So Ill today and did my first real WOD! I’m the worst kind of out of shape beginner, and I have to heavily modify everything for my meager skill level, but I still fel...
