Today I finally got to do a Cross Fit WOD that I’ve been wanting to do. I don’t get to do many as prescribed cuz I can’t do more than ONE measly narrow grip pull up! (but i’m working on it.. promise CG!!! my wings ain’t this sore for nuttin!) So I was excited about this one…

10 rounds of :

110# dead lift

10 20 inch jump box

10 push ups with 10 pound weight on my back….

Not sure if this sounds like a lot to anyone else but me (yes, DOC.. i already heard thru the grape vine that you didn’t feel "challenged" by this.. to which i say POPPYCOCK! haha) But to me the DL’s were freakin heavy.. If you’ve read past blogs of mine, you know that I don’t lift heavy.. Never have.. Really still don’t like it.. But I did it… And that’s what counts…

Now I’m fixin to get my tail feathers back to the gym for spin class.. OR an easy 4 miles on the treadmill… hmmmmm… guess it depends on if I can even get into class tonight..

So so much has happened over the last few weeks.. But the highlight was for sure my Whirlwind Midwest tour last week! I started it off on Wednesday, spending the night in Indianapolis.. Freakin’ LOVE that city! Ima hoosier by blood and I get all twitter-pated when I’m there… The next night was in Chicago! WOO HOO… went to a great martini bar and danced my tail feathers off in my new 3 inch red heels and up-to-there black skirt.. the band was the BEST 80s cover band I’ve heard in a very long time.

and then… dum..dum..dum…. COLUMBUS OHIO TO MEET MY GIRLS!! i was exhausted.. averaged about 3 hours of sleep both nights prior, but I wasn’t letting that stop me! Fitnblnde5 met me at the airport, and even tho we’ve never met, we talk via text/email/phone EVERY day.. sometimes ALL day..  We hung out till it was time to pick up Crlgrl.. THEN the party started once  Charlies Angels were there… (FNB = Blonde.. CG = red head.. Me = brunette).. We went to the Arnold Figure/Fitness/Bodybuilding finals friday night (and got to meet nursnic.. YOU, my friend, are a DOLL and i’m so sorry we didn’t get to hang with you more! ) .. and then the expo on saturday.. I can’t remember the last time I was poked.. proded.. and felt up by some many!!! haha..

And finally, SUNDAY! We had a little too much fun Saturday night, so we didnt get much sleep, but CG and I were pretty excited about finally running TOGETHER!!! I had about an hour of sleep, and she about 2.. It was perfect weather.. We started about mid-pack but it opened up very early on.. Our first mile was a 7:30 pace. DANG.. how you feeling? good? keep up the pace? slow it down? oh you can’t hear me cuz you got your tunes on too loud?? my bad, CG! haha.. our 2nd mile was 8:00… still going strong but then CG got a side cramp so we decided to slow it down.. we didnt’ care how long it took us (it was for fun afterall) but we were NOT walking.. then the last 0.1 mile came and I said "let’s finish strong" and we sprinted for the finish line… DAMN! she’s a speedy lil thing!

We finished 41st and 42nd overall and 4th in each of our age groups, with times of 24:30 and 24:31.. And we got medals I’m waiting to get the pix from FNB.. who, by the way, is the BEST photographer/cheerleader EVER! I’ll post them when I do cuz we got some great ones

 Today, I did the Cross Fit WOD which was max lift of squat, deadlift and shoulder press… I got 175# squat.. 140# DL and 60# SP for a CF total score of 375#.. CG said it was OSM.. and i’m happy, especially considering it’s my first ever max lift of anything!!!
