Our 1st week is behind us!

This past week was the first we began training together as a team. I'm really excited, we've got a good group. I'm looking forward to the gains and growth we'll all experience together! It has been awhile since Steve and I have been training 5 days a week so that was an adjustment, also the shifting in training times to try and work with everyone's schedules. This, I know, is a good thing since it forces us all to work out at our preferred and not preferred times so we can all grow, it's going to take a little adjusting, though, on my part for my body to acclimate to the shifting workout times. All in all it was a great week. The workouts were all tough but I feel like we got a great start! I can't wait to see what this week brings!!!

Beach to Bay Marathon Relay

This weekend Stephen and I participated in the Beach to Bay marathon relay with 2 other couples. The race consists of a full marathon (26.2 miles) run by a team of 6 participants, no individuals, no half marathon course. It was a lot of fun! Everyone did great and we finished in the top 20% overall, great considering our team really aren't your average "runners"-we are Crossfitters! I am pleased that without an actual training plan I was still able to hold a fair pace and run my leg without any trouble, also pretty happy I don't have any residual soreness! Once again I have to thank Crossfit and Dave (and the team) at CFDC for the great training and knowledge I've gained over this last year+. Thanks and congrats to all my teammates for an awesome weekend :)

Well I have been out of routine lately. Haven't been feeling much motivation for working out the last few weeks. The prior 2 weeks I haven't done much and my nutrition has been suffereing. This past week was a little better with more attention to nutrition in preperation for the May Day Challenge. Unsure of whether or not the Challenge will occur on Sunday or be postponed is a bit of a bummer, I was getting excited about it, but I'm looking forward to whenever it is. I've had my time (too much time) to slack off and now it's time to get myself back in gear and get ready for some serious training come June.........more details to come ;)
