Update

It's been a few days since we updated the blog. Since the last post (3/18) I have logged 63.9 miles in the saddle. We are in Florida for Liz's spring break so the posting will be infrequent over the next few days.

"Nate"

Yesterday was St. Paddy's day, and while Mom and Dad were recovering from "the outbreak", Daniel and I did "Nate".
As many rds in 20mins of:
2 muscle-ups
4 HSPU
8 2 pood (72#) KBS

I subbed scaled muscle-ups and HSPUs, and used 24lb KB.

Daniel: 11 rds + 2 muscle ups
Liz: 10 rds

"Nicole"

Sunday morning Daniel, Mom, and Dad rode bikes to church~~14.5 miles. I opted out since I couldn't possibly survive that much time in the saddle. So I was the sag wagon.
Later on that afternoon we did:

"Nicole"
As many rds in 20 mins of:
400m run (up hill on the way back=heinous)
Max rep pull-ups

Results:
Daniel as rx'd-9 rounds, 136 total pull-ups
Liz (subbed ring rows for pull-ups)-6 rounds, 60 pull-ups + 400m run
Mom (also did ring rows)-6 rds, 35 pull-ups + 400m run
Dad (subbed jumping pull-ups)-7 rds, 80 pull-ups +400m run

Preggers WOD

I made up a WOD on Saturday that I thought I could do too.
As many rounds in 20min of:
5 Burpees
10 KBS (52#/15#)
15 Box Jumps 24"

I completed 7 rounds in the morning. It was really tough. Burpess and box jumps get your HR high. I subbed step-ups for the box jumps, can't jump too well with a belly. Mom did step-ups too.
Then I coached Mom and Dad through the WOD in the afternoon. Daniel did it too "just for fun" with them. He had already done his workout that morning.
Mom: 9 rds + 5 burpees
Dad: 6 rds + 5 burpees
Daniel: 10 rds

Daniel's morning workout was 7x1 Snatch. He did the CFWU, 3 rnds and warmed up with a few 135# snatches. He snatched 155, 160, 165 (Old PR), 170 (New PR), 155, 155, 155. He dropped back down to 155 to work on his speed.

Pi Day!

Yesterday was another great weather day! I did 10.85 miles into town in the AM and another 7 during the day running errands, for a total of 17.85 miles.

Gained 1,100 feet in 5 kilometers. Weather was perfect for running, 60 degrees. My legs felt heavy.

Errands

I woke up late on 3/10 so I was not able to bike in. Lucky for me, Momma D and Liz brought the bikes into town and we took a lunch time ride on the green way. Later I biked to my Orthodontist appointment and then into Brentwood, TN for a daily total of 14.78 miles.

First Post

I started this blog to keep track of all the miles I am logging bike commuting and to keep track of my Crossfit workouts and climbing endevours. So far in 2008 I have biked 212.19 miles. I have ridden in temps from 25 to 73 F. I hope to kick my mileage up to near 100 miles a week. Here's to good health.
