The Dough Boys and Girl!

I'm a day late on my post, I'm sure you (all 3 of you that may be reading) have been dying to know how Crossfit went.  Well, I am here to say that I LOVED it!  Ashley is a die hard Crossfitter, she is amazing and has been doing some amazing things this past year, YAY Ashley!  Anywho, the gym she goes to is Elevated Crossfit and they had 3 days this week where people could come and try it out for FREE dollars!

I don't know the gal on the end, me, Jake, Holly, Jorge and Trent!

Jake, Holly, Jorge, Trent, Janae, Megan, Breann and I went on Thursday night!  Here is the workout:

With Teams of 4, and only 2 people working at a time, complete the following:
300 Pullups
400 Pushups
500 Situps
600 Squats

Jake and I teamed up with Chris and Chris, our team name was The Dough Boys and Girl.  Are they calling me fat?  Chris #1 was a Crossfitter and the rest of us were newbies.  It was obvious from the get go that Chris was a hard core competitor...my kind of fella'!  We started and I was SHOCKED at how well Jake did.  After all, the dude doesn't workout at all.  We busted out our pull-ups and were the first to start the push-ups...YES, we so totally rock ;)

Jake was a little dismayed when they announced that there would be NO knee push-ups.  He did amazing, he rocked the push-ups.  The sit-ups on the other hand were a bit of a struggle for him.  Luckily for him I could do sit-ups all day, especially with him holding my feet, which I kept telling him not to do but he wouldn't listen...oh well!  The squats were a breeze and I could have gone all day.  I'm used to weighted squats so body weight squats were super easy.

We finished in 25 minutes and were the winners.  It was a GREAT time!  We had to leave right after the workout to get Kobe from gymnastics and apparently we missed out on dodge ball :(  Dang it!

As soon as we got in the car Jake thought he was going to toss his cookies!  Crossfit got him good.  I was hoping to try "Fran" or "Betsy Sue" (I'm pretty sure I just made that one up) but I really loved every second of it!  It was so fun being in a big group seeing everyone work their little butts off! 

The 2 Chris' were awesome and so much fun to workout with.  The coaches were super nice.  Alan, made me give him a high 5 before the workout and I knew I was in for trouble.  Many of you don't know this but I DO NOT give high 5's, well until Thursday night that is :)  I'm a bit of a germaphobe and quite frankly I don't like to be touched.  By the end of the workout I was having such a great time that when Chris and Chris came in for a high 5 I happily obliged!  I am a changed woman...just kidding, don't touch me :)

Friday night I was DYING to go again!  I begged Jake to go back but he was too sore...booo hooo!!  I made him jump on my back to see if I could carry him, see the workout for last night was 50m partner carry and 20 med ball tosses repeated 4 times.  I was a little shocked to see that I could carry Jake and wanted to go sooooo sooooo badly!  DENIED!!!

This morning as Holly and I were finishing up our 14 mile run about the city I said, "Hey, we should run to Crossfit, do the workout and run home!"  Denied again!  We didn't want to show up in our "ninja" suits.  I got home and pulled up the WOD and dang it we should have gone!

Teams of three will complete the following:
As athlete one runs 200m, the other two will be doing as many reps as possible of:
athlete 2: kettlebell swings
athlete 3: push-ups
when athlete one returns they'll take #3s spot.
Capiche?

I capiche and I LIKE it!  Janae mentioned a Crossfit scholarship on her blog...BRILLIANT!  I would like to apply.  If I didn't already spend an exorbitant amount of money every month to send my kidlets to gymnastics I would be there in a second, you could even time me!

Maybe one day I will be able to come up with a way to make it work.  I ab.so.lutely loved working out with Jake, that's my favorite kind of date!

Are you a Crossfitter?

I sure wish I was!

Is it snowing at your house?

Yes and I LOVE it!!
