Judy Blume Totally Should of Prepared Me For This

Friday, February 4th, 2011 at like 5:15 pm.

I got my double under. On the ground.

It was seriously way so exciting. I of course yelled but no crying this time. I don't know if you saw "Easy A" but there is a line that made me think of this momentous occasion. Olive says, "Judy Blume should of prepared me for what it was like to fake losing my virginity". I get that, because I totally thought that there would be angels playing the harp or something when I got my double under, and instead there was only me going, "Really? Are you sure?" and then screaming. But the heavens didn't open. TJ didn't even cuddle with me afterwards. ;)

I had a truly fabulous workout today. I ran, I worked on my pull-ups, I got my double-under, and then I PR'd on Jackie by 7 minutes. Not too shabby. (Also, Danny keeps telling me if I don't stop saying "Best Day Ever" he's gonna kill me. So what? It was the BEST DAY EVER!)

WOD #18 (myself)
Max 400m 3:06
(I beat my last time by 14 seconds! And I didn't stop once!)

WOD #19 (TJ)
Jackie--not RX'd
11:32

Row 1000m
30 Thrusters 23 lb
20 Ring row

So, the last time I did this (in March) I got 18:31. I did row 1000m, 50 thrusters at 8.5 lbs, and 30 jumping pull-ups. I still think that I would of done better than that time if we had done 50 thrusters at 8.5 and 30 jumping pull-ups, but I think the ring rows are better at this point, and Gd knows I don't want to do any more thrusters than I have to. I probably could of gone heavier on this, but between the pull-up practice with the bands and the double unders, I was pretty spent.

I also noted my row time for the 1000m...5:27. I pr'd on that, too! :) By 30 seconds. I am having a fabulous Crossfit week.

Truly, I am so excited. The double under on the ground was AMAZING. And I got it like 5 times, so it wasn't a mistake. ;) I am so grateful to Cassie, Shain and TJ for taking the time to work with me and for believing in me! I love you guys!

Next stops? Sub 3:00 400, running a half of a mile without stopping, and pull-ups. And then obviously Crossfit games...in 2013.
