It's like a Bigfoot sighting!

Well, I wish I were away for so long because I went somewhere tropical, ancient, or otherwise seriously kickass - but really, it was just a busy and slightly lethargic two weeks.  I did, however, go to Niagra Falls [in the rain] and watch Brian's debut fight - and had an MBTA "adventure" after getting pretty buzzed with Ma Dukes.  Go to Yard House by Fenway...200 taps guys. 200. Taps. And the onion rings...oh god. And pineapple on my burger, but I digress...

I thought Shawn had gone back to work, but he had snuck off into the corner to do burpees!  I got in my first 10 still laughing at him. See? It's fun haha


Softball practice tonight woooo!

Bucking Furpees

So, I went and opened my big stupid mouth and now we have decided on a 1000 burpee challenge.  First person to 1000, cutoff is midnight April 30th.  That boils down to 38.46 burpees a day.  If one of you figures out how to do .46 burpees, well, damn.  We are NOT counting burpees included in CFSK WODs.  Split them up any way you wish day to day or week to week.  The only stipulation is that you are DONE by the end of the month.

Keep track of how you section them out and how that changes as you get better and better.  Should be interesting. Rewarding. Maybe - by the end of the month - fun :)

Three rounds to....

Today highlighted what a shittastic (my phone knows that word) mess my cardio is. Went up one wall ball weight ...12, hot damn...and discovered how inefficient ass-to-the-floor squats are and that they wreck my form.  Makes me want to do burpees daily....maybe.

Bike 1

Put on the wind breaker and padded pants for a quick hilly ride tonight. 6.2 miles in an unknown amount of time.  Discovering just how many muscles are involved in biking; namely, all of them. My hips are already sore.  CrossFit at lunch tomorrow, 3-2-1-Go :)

here we go...

So here I am, on the CrossFit blog bandwagon - the easier to communicate with you all.  I'll probably have notes on here about biking and swimming as well...and maybe table flipping and wine drinking :)
