WODs & Well-Being

October 2, 2012 Meet Nicole... again... This is a dual purpose image today. One, because the woman in the image is cleaning. She is clearly showing the 3 stops for the 3 stop clean that we worked today for the Oly session. Two... and even better, the woman in the image is "The" Nicole that the WOD we did today is named for. CrossFits very own Nicole Carroll, one of the original nasty girls. We did Nicole a while back in July and I can clearly remember the day. I remember struggling through the pullups and switching (with M's instruction) from the bar with tape to the bar with no tape. I wad determined today to perform better than before and have a consistent amount of reps unbroken for the pullups. I had it in my head through the whole WOD and would not let go of that bar until I hit 10 reps each round. Next time I just have to run a little faster, or hang on longer and get that number up again! Overall, very happy with my 3rd meeting with Nicole. WARMUP: 2 Mi...

July 23, 2012 Today was a rough day. A perfect reminder as to why I choose to live the lifestyle that I do 99% of the time. Alas there is that small 1% of the time when I let myself go a little more than usual, yesterday, one of those days!! Hubs and I had an excellent day up at Salisbury Beach with our friend KP, T, H and their families (we missed you J).  When we arrived I was a little stressed, had an emotional morning and KP said the magic words "would you like a margarita?" After a FABULOUS day, lots of well needed laughs and smiles, quite a few drinks, some delicious ribs an antipasto salad and sun, sand and sparklers Hubs and I needed to head home because we had to work today. Let me tell you something... I had to be in work at 6:30am to leave with my big boss and another co worker for a meeting... and wow... I was feeling those beverages, thats for sure!! After only a few hours of sleep (more like passing out) and not enough water I was a hurtin unit. The car ride...
