Working out the dye.

seashell — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 18:15:29 +0000

Though I wouldn’t recommend it for fun, looking at ‘inside’ pictures of our bodies is so interesting. I had a contrast MRI of my hip on Thursday and am fascinated by the pictures they took, particularly the one where I can see the needle still sticking in. Our bodies are cool.

The hip’s been a bit sore since my time in the MRI capsule - so I didn’t know how today would go. I took it easy and imagined the dye working itself out of the joint. Now for some stretching……..

Underwater groovin’

seashell — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 19:00:00 +0000

Santa brought me an underwater MP3 player for Xmas. It sure kept me going today. After the hip MRI, I decided to keep today to a swim. My body felt sluggish so the tunes made all the difference…….. well, that and the promise of Ladro afterwards.

Hardest WOD yet.

seashell — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 03:53:56 +0000

Supersets of burpees (with a pushup at the bottom) and situps.

1 thru 10 then reverse.

Perhaps I should rethink doing a hill ride before going to crossfit?

Ummm…nah!

Is it possible to be in love with a bike?

seashell — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 03:51:52 +0000

Maybe it’s a little unnatural how much I love my new bike….. She still needs a name.

“She” cooked on my very hilly ride tonight. (And I was rewarded for a few miles with a slight tail wind…. finally!)

Officially a member of ‘the skin sacrifice club’

seashell — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 04:55:47 +0000

I earned my stripes and officially became a member of ‘the club’ at crossfit. Skin ripped off my palm while doing pullups in the WOD. Oh yeah! I’m IN!

**I chose NOT to do my swim workout after though. I’m not that big of a sucker for punishment.

seashell — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 15:45:03 +0000

Felt like a bada$$ tonight. Crossfit guru Jake put the ‘big boy’ weights on for my squats. Oh yeah! It’s that bada$$.

A ’swun’?

seashell — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 01:52:43 +0000

What is a ’swim-run’ brick called? Whatever it’s called….that’s what we did today. On the fly we decided to do a hard/fast run instead of a longer/slog. Felt good.
