The way I see it those three simple words explain it all.....live freely with an open mind never judging others, laugh often and especially at yourself, love beyond measure...if you never risk being in love your missing out on the wonders of life....

This blog will show you how I live, laugh, and love on a daily basis...remember, these are my views of the world. Please take them and use them as you will....it is my journey to make this world a better place.

Looking Forward to Double Unders?


It happened - today was the day that I NEVER thought would exist in my CrossFit World!! I was in the middle of my WOD and it dawned on me that I was actually looking forward to the Double Under portion of my workout. NOW - before anyone get's their panties in an uproar - because you actually know my TRUE feelings about double unders - let me explain myself!

I am sore. I am BEYOND sore. I am SO SORE that I had to roll over onto my stomach to get off of the recliner last night. So picture this - me sitting in the recliner in the relaxed position and NOT being able to lift my upper body forward to get out of the chair, so I proceed to roll over onto my stomach and "SCOOCH" off of the recliner end until my feet hit the floor. At that point I am able to bend my knees and stand tall. Don't laugh, I know you've been there.

So, what made me think I should come to a WOD that had 150 box jumps, 150 DU's and 150 sit-ups? Well, because it was on the board right?

I have been doing some strength training on the side to work on my clean and snatch maxes. I have goals as you all know to get a 155# clean and jerk. After working my strength and running the endurance last night I feel like I have been run over by one of those rollers they use to smooth asphalt!!

Jumping on the box felt like I was lifting 2 100# tree trunks 20" off the ground. Then I got to my DOUBLE UNDERS and it was like a miracle of miracles I was able to get 10-12 starting out...then the numbers dropped by I was pretty happy. And heaven forbid I got to the sit-ups - I couldn't lift my body without grabbing my arse and my thighs to start myself into my sit-up. The first 50 reps I felt the tears streaming from my eyes. Jim told me to use my arms so I would start with the arm swing and my abs said "NOPE" so I had to grab and pull!!!! Vision's of the recliner flashed in my eyes.....and then I thought (here it comes) -

"I can't wait to get back to my double under's!!"
WHAT THE HECK!!!!

Someone pinch me, this must be a dream!
I may have to stand to watch the Games tonight!!
