Creeps and Bruising: A Tale of the Modern Woman

Friday night saw my boss "M" and I taking a walk outside and playing on the monkey bars and weird wobbly children's play area structures at a local park. The weather was exceptionally fine for a January evening, and we were in only sweatshirts as we scaled the mini climbing wall and challenged the strange spinny bar thing. 

Later, we went out dancing at a nightspot known for its older crowd of ladies. (Hello cougars!) M looked gorgeous, rocking out her usual BAMF style and we attracted a few creepers since we were the youngest women there, by far. I was thoroughly disgusted when some drooling douche-nozzle informed me that I was very good-looking and that I was impressing him before unceremoniously waggling his tongue at me with what I can only assume was lascivious intent. I'm afraid my reply may not have been particularly ladylike.  As it was, we rapidly lost the boogie fever and headed home. I felt pretty good about the night though, sometimes you just have to cut loose and dance like no one is watching. 

After a busy weekend of entertaining and generally wandering around town and spending exorbitant amounts of time straightening my hair, I was happy to bop out of bed this morning at five and head for CrossFit. Here's what we did:

Warm Up:
10 Minutes
-15 PVC Pass-Throughs
-250 Meter Row
1:00 Battle Ropes
-15 Ball Slams (20lb)
1:00 Plank

WOD:
AMRAP 3 Minutes - 5 Rounds with 1 Minute Rest between each. 
-3 Power Snatch (22lb Yay! I can finally do an overhead lift in a WOD!)
-4 Front Squat (22lb)
-5 Push Ups (Knees, which is better than box! My knees are black and blue now though...)

I had big plans to write about environmentalism and learning and inspiring people in this blog and to vent some frustration and to jabber about some new plans and ideas, but I find myself suddenly overcome with nausea. 

This better not be the flu, or I'm going to start a riot. Anyway, I'll try to remember to write about that stuff another day.
