A Good Week!

So last week I ran the loop at Memorial Park..for the first time since the "tear". As Katie and I pulled up I told her my heart was slamming and I was afraid. I have never been a runner. And although I have come to really enjoy it in the past two years, I knew taking five months off was going to have an impact. BUT...it felt GREAT. We ran it in under 27 minutes! I think that is better then when I stopped. And I was pumped! The next day proved to have another challenge for me..EVA!! Ahh..something I have managed to avoid for two years. For those of you who do not know Eva...5 rounds, 800m run, 30 KB Swings @53#, 30 Pullups!! It is nasty! No two ways around it. But I figured it was the week for new things! So I did it...it took me 61 minutes and some change! Honestly I can not remember the last time I worked out that long! My calf cramped up, 53#s never felt so heavy and oh lets not forget my hands....
Like that!?!?!
On to the next day...again another good run with Katie! And Friday another named WOD..Kelly..with more running and my two least fav things wall balls and box jumps. But I powered through, even if I did want to quit on the third round.
It felt good to tackle these things this week. I tried new things, conquered some fears and started getting back in the swing of things! I was able to do a lot of my workouts with Katie and that has just been AMAZING!! She is a great coach, an awesome workout buddy and a fantastic whip cracker/motivator! SO thanks Katie! Lets kick some butt this week and get you ready for your half this weekened!!!

Bad Blogger!

Okay so I have not been so great about updating. I will get on that.

This weekend was a busy and eventful weekend! Vic competed this weekend in Austin for CrossFit Centrals Fittest Games Competition! He got 4th overall!!! WAY TO GO VIC!! And Kristian and Charlie were out there showing their support!Unfortunately, Katie and I were not able to go and show our support! (But we were cheering him on in spirit!!) We both attended the Landmark Forum this weekend. This is a personal developement course. And it was an interesting weekend. Now I am not going to lie, sitting for 13 hours a day for a whole weekend is not my ideal situation. BUT...while I did not get everything that this course was offering, it did open my eyes to a few things. And it was fun hanging out with Katie all weekend. We seemed to get a little silly and goofy by the end of the day!
It did help me come to appreciate my parents and how they raised me a WHOLE lot more! I truly have had a blessed life and am forever thankful to my parents for the wonderful life they have given me! Thanks Mom and Dad!
