Rest Day Spiked w/ Pull-ups & Dips

Have I mentioned I love CrossFit? I'm still so new at it but I KNOW it has made me stronger already. The more I do it, the better I feel. When I feel good, I think I'm more patient with the kids, I'm more loving toward my husband and more kind to strangers. When I feel good, the world seems like a better place! How silly that sounds, but so true in my heart.

Today is a rest day from running and I was going to do NOTHING (except watch the XTERRA race that Bob Gentile told me about). Not only will I watch that for additional motivation, but I will do the CrossFit WOD. I CAN'T do Muscle Ups (that might take years), so I'll be substituting kipping pull-ups (I still need to use a platform underneath to assist me), and dips. The workout calls for 120 of each, I'll do my darndest and will HAVE to break them down into sets. Between you and me, I'm shooting for 75 of each. Shhhhh!

Here's an awesome picture of the gals at CrossFit headquarters, mid pull-up. (Picture courtesy of the CrossFit website). They can do upwards of 30-50 in one shot! Talk about STRONG. And they are MOMS too. I love it. If you want to read about a runner and CrossFit instructor, see Shari's blog. She one of the motivators for me to run and be fit, and she's 2nd from the right in the picture.
Enjoy your Saturday!
