Let's Play Catch-Up

I haven't written in a while. It seems like life got so crazy there that I ceased to exist entirely! 

Let's see. 

Last Friday I made it to the gym to discover that the WOD was "Angie". For those of you that aren't familiar with CrossFit, Angie is one of the more well-known WODs. It consists of 100 pull-ups, 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, and 100 squats. I managed to make it to 60 of each before time ran out, but I felt pretty good about it. My squats still need serious help though. 


After work on Friday I drove 3.5 hours up North to my Mum's place and had a quiet evening watching Gran Torino with her and my brother. At 6 the next morning, I took off from there and drove 2 hours to Gaylord to do the Over The Top Extreme 5k at Treetops Resort. 




It was a pretty fun mudder, and only minor injuries were sustained in the process of getting disgustingly wet and dirty on a 50 degree rainy day in Northern Michigan. It was brought home to me that despite rocking at the obstacles, I was terrible at the running. 

I managed to get completely muddy and covered in soap during the race, and despite being incredibly slow, my 3 woman team took first place for our division! (A testament to how few people were in attendance.) Anyway, because of the post-race chili lunch and awards ceremony, and my inability to get clean using only a cold garden hose, I ended up missing my bridesmaid dress appointment back down in the D. Ooops... 

I spent Sunday doing some cardio and napping on a friend's couch and generally feeling like life is pretty good sometimes. This morning would have seen me back at CrossFit for my last week of Groupon goodness, but my shoes are still completely soaking wet, and nothing could convince me to put them on at 5 this morning. 

Anyway, the Reason for today is inspired by my weekend: Because I need more cardio endurance.
