PR - deadlift

Got a new PR for single max deadlift today: 225lb. Plus, I got 3 kipping pull-ups. Not consecutive. That's the next goal. :)

Snow Dance!

Great day at Beaver Creek! Of course, any day riding with Ethan is gonna be a good one. He's fun to have to keep up with! I do wish that the conditions were a bit better. Beautiful blue skies, but not enough squishy pow. Time to do a snow dance to get some more powder up in the mountains.

I love blueberries

and blackberries and strawberries and pretty much every fruit on the planet. Right now, my blueberries just happen to be delicious and that makes me happy.

Fav new quote from a text book.

Pumping is necessary for laser action.

dance shoes

Why is it that when I have free time, I never remember the shit I need to do. I have danced barefoot twice at the Caspian, because I keep forgetting to buy new shoes. It's disgusting. They're pretty good about keeping their floors clean, but if food gets spilled, I get to step in it. Bleh. I'm an idiot sometimes.

Shitty today.

I've been up all night getting sick. I tried to get up to go to school, because I have an exam today, and nearly collapsed. So much for that idea. I've crawled back into bed and here I'll stay. Hopefully I will sleep through today and feel better tomorrow. Blah.

Woohoo!

I did my first kipping pull-up today! No bands, just me and a little kip. It's a small step, but there it is. :)

Just today.

I got the best piece of advice from a friend of mine today... "Don't forget to breathe."

WOD

I did yesterday's CrossFit workout "Cindy." It's as many rounds as possible of 5 pull ups, 10 push ups, and 15 squats in 20 minutes. I managed a mere 15 sets. I stuck around long enough to try to learn to do kipping pull ups, which my body refuses to do. Then I went for a shortened version of the JQ run. I know 3 miles is already short, but I decided that two was enough for me today (Go ahead and make fun of me, wanker, I know you will). I'm just glad I got to take a break from the whole day of working on chem labs.

Now I'm back working on my physical chemistry lab write-ups. I'm glad I took the time to workout, but I'm gonna be up so damn late working on this stuff. Time for a glass of wine (to go with my whine)! :)

Ate too much today

So I decided to go for a run this evening to make up for my gluttonous behavior. 3.67 miles at a 10:19 pace. I'm sad to report that this is the best run I've had in months. I'm glad that I did, but it's a sad state that I'm in.

Dancing again.

I love it. It feels good to get back into dancing. I've got two of my new costumes altered and ready for use. They look fabulous. Here are a couple of shots of the new costumes at work tonight!

Off to the gym

I think the reason I love crossfit so much is that I have so little time to workout. They help me make the most of the tiny amount of time that I have. I wish I had time to go on a nice long run...
