I didn’t go climbing this week. I don’t really know why. Maybe prepping myself to go all out for thirty days coming up? (technically speaking, 28 more days…)

CrossFit Journal Year 2 Week 4

2 Comments

I’ve been really enjoying climbing this month and it’s only going to get better from here on out. I’m already scoping out a new pair of climbing shoes as the La Sportiva Miura’s I have right now are 9 years old and have never been resoled. Can you believe that? Now, I’ve stopped climbing for about 5 years in between that time frame, but still! They’re old. I’m not sure whether to replace them with the same type of shoe (that are now the MENS version – they came out with a women’s version but different color. That’s how old they are), or get a less aggressive shoe. The Katana’s, which I’ve been eying for years. Ho-hum, we’ll see.

On Saturday I sat down to a 3 hour paleo seminar. My paleo challenge starts on April 7th, so YES I did get to enjoy some Easter chocolate, and no I didn’t “fail already”, because it didn’t even START. Now that that ramble is out of the way, onto my workouts from last week.

The short:

Sunday — rest
Monday — CrossFit
Tuesday — sick day :(
Wednesday — rest
Thursday — Bouldering
Friday — rest
Saturday — paleo seminar? (Not really working out)

The long:

year 2, week 4, day one

5 rounds
10 under bar power hang clean
50 double unders (0r 150 single skips)
10 burpees
1 minute rest

ootwwHello all! What does everyone have planned for the long weekend?

Last night I went climbing again with some bud’s. Ended up doing top rope again for the first time in a year or so. I’ve been bouldering the last few weeks and finally strapped on my harness and did some 5.10’s!climb 2

I was pretty happy about that. In just a few more weeks, I’ll be tearing down the 11’s! hee hee.

I have today off work, due to it being Good Friday. I slept in until 11am or so, then made myself some eggs (two, to be exact) and that gave me the burst of energy I needed. I ended up cleaning out our fridge which didn’t take as long as I had thought it would, surprisingly.clean fridge

All spic ‘n span now. Love opening it up and seeing everything so freshly organized. I think we have enough margarine to do us until 2014, don’t you think? Also looks like we’re well stocked on the vitaminwater. I’d like to tackle the porch now, but I kind of want to sit down and watch movies on netflix.

I also want to test out these bright neon kicks this weekend, since it’s pretty sunny and not much snow on the ground anymore.Saucony Virrata Perfect time to go for a run (first time since January) don’t you think? Omg, I can’t get over how bright they are you guys. They’re the Saucony Virrata’s.

What are your plans for Easter?
