This is a blog to track my progress in Crossfit.

Cardiorespiratory endurance, stamina, strength, power, speed,
flexibility, agility, accuracy, balance, and coordination: you're as good as
your weakest link.

WOD

Cindy

AMRAP in 20 mins
5 pullups
10 pushups (I did on my knees)
15 squats

I did 11 rounds plus 24. More than last time (but not much). I'll take it, though. Pullups were solid...busted out 5 unbroken first two rounds then split them 3/2 (sometimes 4/1). Pushups...suck.

Nashville 1/2 marathon...sixth time

Will link the Garmin readout when my lazy ass uploads it...

Race was Saturday, April 30th. Weather was perfect. Beer at Tootsies afterward with live music and new friends from McLean, VA...couldn't ask for more...

Overall 2:05...5 mins slower than my "average..." but I'll take it. I finished...I had fun...that's all that matters :o)
