Grace!

Am I the only one thankful for all this snow? Dad and I decided it's not worth driving to Rockford tomorrow for work, so that means I get to sleep in! No 5AM wake up call for me tomorrow! :) hell yes.

We did single rep max box jumps for our 'strength' portion today. We did this back in July and I got 31 3/4 inches. I was kind of nervous about this today, since I biffed it on a box jump the other day and have an awesome lump on my shin. However, I was determined to beat my old SRM. I ended the day with a new SRM at 33 3/4 inches! I'm pretty happy with that!

Today was another day I was looking forward to at the Fort. I've been anxiously awaiting "Grace" to show up on the whiteboard for weeks. For those of you who don't know, CrossFit has a bunch of named WODs that we use as baselines to see how we progress over time. There are female named WODs and Hero WODs, all are a great test of your abilities. "Grace" is 30 clean and Jerks (60kg/40kg). Last time we did this back in September, I used 35kg and finished in 4:09. Tonight I went with the prescribed weight of 40kg and finished in 4:00! I increased the weight AND decreased my time by 9 seconds!!!! I was determined to beat the 4:00 mark, and just made it. This one really killed my right shoulder, which is was caused my time to slow down. I was able to bust out the first 10 reps in the first minute, but slowed down from there. Overall, I'm VERY pleased with my performance tonight. I really need to work on my mobility and strengthening my shoulder.

Food: Breakfast: 3 eggs and about 1.5 cups of veggies/onions/sausage and a couple dried mango slices. Lunch: 5.5 oz turkey burger on a salad with a hard boiled egg. Dinner: 3 pieces of Fritatta which had peppers, onions, garlic, spinach, chicken, and eggs. It was delish! and a pear.

So excited for rest day tomorrow, from work AND working out! :) YAY SLEEP!
