Jen, keep logging them here, but if you want an account to log them on our personal one (asrxd), I can hook you up there as well.

Joe – even when they look easy, they aren’t. It took me a solid six months of underestimating how bad a workout would be before I came moved on to acceptance of this, but it’s a fact. The workout could be “Walk 100 meters at your leisure,” and I would still figure that somewhere along the way, a piano would mysteriously fall out of the sky and I would have to catch it in a proper overhead squat stance. That’s CrossFit.

13:24 – Well that was an interesting WOD to say the least. You know when I saw the work out on the website I thought…”Damn thats going to be easy”…well I need to STOP assuming things!

I think my time was 11:20. I subbed girly knee down push ups for ring dips. My cleans were done with 65#, and I don’t think I could have done more and completed it. My legs are sore. Can’t wait to see tomorrow’s. I used to like the name Elizabeth.

as rx’d: 7:43 (PR)

I was a little surprised and disappointed that my legs were a little bit sore from the heavy front squat aspect of the thrusters yesterday. Midline is still a bit sore and tired, too.

A PR is a PR, so I’ll take it.

I’m not sure what you mean by “the record board”, but I’d love to be able to track my progress on this site rather than try to keep a paper and pencil notebook log (I’m not that organized).

I am so excited for Elizabeth today. Well, I’m pretty excited. Well, I was excited. I wanted to be excited. OK, I’m a little nervous.

On a side note, I’ve upped my zone blocks (after measuring and calculating by the book) and felt a lot better yesterday. After 3 weeks, I have far more definition in my bi’s tri’s and shoulders, and also my quads and maybe(?!) a little starting in the abs (hard to tell under the delivered 4 big babies skin. I am looking forward to seeing what 6 months of crossfitting will create. Regarding the quote of the day, we are our own sculptors, and I’m anxious to see what I can make out of the lump of clay.
