July 9, 2008

No workout again for me today! This is the final day of me flying solo with the kids and I will be back at the gym tomorrow morning. I am taking the kids up to the beach to spend the day with Nichole before we head back to a "normal" routine. I don't know how single parents have any semblance of a life outside of the house, my hat is off to them!

Good Times!

July 8, 2008

No time for a workout this morning, these kids are killing me, but I just checked the North Shore CrossFit site and it looks like today's WOD is Cindy. If I have time later this afternoon I'm going to try to get to gym to do this workout. My last Cindy score was extremely disappointing, so I'd really like to get another shot at it today.

On another note, the Topsfield Yankees lost their first game of the season last night. This was the first time that Dave P. was not in attendance, coincidence?

July 7, 2008

I'm not able to make it to the gym today due to child care issues, it's going to be a tough week on that end. Anyway, I did my own WOD:
3 Rounds
- 25 Squats
- 25 Push-ups
- 25 Sit-ups
- 400M Run

This isn't great but at least it is something!

Today's WOD for the "community gathering":
Teams of 2 for 3 Rounds
- 30 Burpees
- 40 Thrusters (95# / 75#)
- 50 Pull-ups
- 60 Sit-ups
- 400M Run

Kurt and I teamed up and I'm sure he's regretting that now. I'm not used to working out at that time of day and made the mistake of eating a full breakfast this morning and I was close to leaving at least part of it on the floor of the gym after the 2nd round. Kurt carried my ass through the third round of burpees doing at least 5 more than me (it's all a haze at this point). Then he pushed me through the thrusters by doing a set of 10 when we originally agreed to do 5 reps of everything, so of course I had to match him on that. He also, did my final pull-up! If you saw a video of me running on the last round you would swear it was a still photo! I feel like a sad excuse for a CrossFitter at this point! Anyway, we finished in 34 minutes which isn't too bad I guess.
