Day 1: …Get Fit… The Ambush
After 2 months of persistent illness and zero exercise, I was ambushed at CrossFit this morning by the entire SWAT team for the City of Boulder. They had come for a hellish workout called Fight Gone Bad: one min at each of 5 stations, 3 rounds for max repetitions. Words cannot do justice to the suffering. I volunteered to take pictures but alas, I was roped into the mess. See What is CrossFit? for more info.
Here are a few of my fitness goals:
Pullups (dead hang): 10
Previous best: 7
Current: 2Pushups (military): 25
Previous best: 15
Current: 8Run a 5k race (at altitude): 7:30/mile
Previous best: 7:46/mile
Current: 8:50/mileDEADLINE: March 31st

I LOVE crossfit! We would do it at the fire station, it is a truly amazing workout! I had ankle surgery 5 weeks ago and I won’t be able to do crossfit for at least 3 months.. You are so brave to post your life! You go girl!

Yes it is! Yuck about the ankle surgery! What happened?!
I was just out sick, hurt, and on vacation for 2 months. It is amazing how fast you pick it back up. You don’t totally lose it like you would think so don’t worry!
