11:52 Not my best, but still under 12 min.
Is it me or was it muggy out this morning???? Still happy with my 9:35 time. Next goal will be to get under 9.
10:17 a PR doing real pull-ups and rx'd kettlebell.
feels good to be finished, but my hands are killing me especially after a crazy workout this weekend - sorry LT and carol.
is anyone interested in doing the Pumpkin Run? it is Oct. 26 at 8:00 a.m. it is thru the evergreen cemetary. it is a lot of fun. there is a 5k and a 10 mile run. it would be great to get a group together to head down there and celebrate halloween! :)
Hung out with the mid morning class today. Thanks ladies for letting me crash your party. PR on Helen today: 11:03
Did Helen in 16:55. Dark and stormy. richard
Make no mistake it was Kate who was the International Semiprofessional Invitational Olympic banana throw champion by a wide margin - beyond the power lines.
12:36 - not my best. But first time doing real pullups on Helen. My hands were so wrecked from the torture Kate put them through - surprised I could do any. Good times though. Banana toss was fun - not sure how I got some air.
13:08 18kg kettlebell, 2X jumping PU. Had just finished Viviane's spin class (Where were you, Leslie?!). Thanks Kate for waiting for me and pushing me through it!
I'd love to do the pumpkin run on the 26th with a group of us!
Sorry Carol - I subbed for her last week! How are your hands? Happy bike shopping tomorrow!
great job 6:00 p.m. class. wonderful effort - espcially alisa and pam for swinging the 16kg kettle bell! way to go ladies. am proud of you for pushing hard. billy, amy and carol kicked it hard too! keep pushing
Thanks Kate for the Push, Don't know if it was the 16kg but after the second and third kettlebells I thought I was going be sick.. This was a good WOD. PR for Helen - 18:47.
Way to go Pam.
Kate, You can count on me for the Pumpkin Run!! Just don't leave me alone in the graveyard or I will never be the same:o)
On another note for anyone not riding in the Youth Bike ride and interested in running in the Susan G. Komen North Florida Race for the Cure on Oct 18. I have a friend that is a survivor of Breast Cancer and she and a group of people are running it. Pam and I have registered to run with her team. If you would like to run/walk and would like to register through her team, she will be picking up the packets. Her team name is Boo-Bee Positives. http://www.komennorthflorida.org/site/TR/Race/General?px=1002352&pg=personal&fr_id=1020&et=5WsekwAKjZtWDF1EHnXPeA..&s_tafId=1760.
This link is for her home page, she is the one is pink. Please let me know if anyone is interested, I will be meeting with her prior to the run to get our race packets.
On October 18, 2008, I will be participating in the Susan G. Komen North Florida Race for the Cure at Metropolitan Park in Jacksonville, FL with a great team of dedicated people. Join the fight by registering as part of our team. The money raised through the Race will fund vital education, screening and treatment programs for uninsured and underinsured women in our own community and support the Susan G. Komen for the Cure National research program.
13:12 as Rx. Tanked during second set of KB swings, and hurting after scads of pullups in recent days. Hard to motivate when doing it solo, but ready for next time!
15:02 as Rx. Tough one, but I did it.
Barry, where were you man???
18:07 - PR...Good workout!! Thanks to Alisa for pushing me and encouraging me to do the 16kg kettle ball....I am working on trying to get me a "Red"Crossfit shirt! I felt really good afterwards.
Kate....I want to do the Pumpkin run with you also.
Thanks
Love all this blogging. I would love to do the Pumpkin Run too. If any of you are interested, we could start training for the Donna Hicken 1/2 marathon in February. I did this event last year and it is great. You can run, walk, run/walk. Lots of support and survivors cheering you on. Let me know! We can do it for your friend!
Excellent times. Quite a few Personal Bests! Way to go guys!
