Full Speed Ahead

Only three weeks until the CFED Team leaves for Jacksonville to compete in the South Eastern Regionals. Training is in high gear. . . and it is no joke! I did a regular WOD last Friday, brutal team WODs on Sat and Sun, Gaelic Football practice on Monday, Tuesday was my attempt at a Rest Day but I ended up having to shovel and pull weeds for 3 hours at a school planting, and today's Cinco De Mayo WOD was very challenging not to mention my warm up, buy in and extra cash outs. The arches of my feet are tender LOL but I am sure feeling GREAT!

Here is the run down on my WOD (Work Out of the Day):

Warm Up:
Stretching
50 double unders
15 ring dip practice
10 pull ups
10 push ups
More Stretching

WOD:
53 24" box jumps (3 mins)
2 min rest
13 135lbs deadlifts (2 mins)
2 min rest
90 ft lung walk with 15lbs plate over head (1 min)
2 min rest
36 24" box jumps (2 mins)
1 min rest
10 135lbs deadlifts (90 secs)
1 min rest
90ft lung walk with 15lbs plate over head (1 min)

Cash Out
Sweat Angels on the floor
50 feet of walking handstands (using the wall for balance)
30 14lbs wallball shots
More sweat angels

My double unders are getting stronger. The ring dips are rough but I will keep on working on the negatives (slowly lowering my weight down). The wallballs suck and dont feel like I improved much today on them but it was a hard WOD and my arm were shot after the walking handstands.

Bar Dip Pain





The rings you see hanging in the background are what I am working on now. . . grrrr!



















I am so glad so many of my friends are enjoying the blog. I am loving sharing my crossfit adventure as well as getting to be a part of my Mom's journey, she cracks me up daily. Her hardwork and dedication are also giving me the evidence I need to say that anyone can do it, no offense to my Mom but she is such a great example! She is already saving money on doctor visits and meds because she is no longer at risk for glaucoma. It is really working AND she is loving it.

I talked with her on the phone this evening and we are going to need to plan a girls day of shopping! Help get her some new clothing =) She is so excited to visit.

Ok, well I am spent! Off to bed for me, Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone.
