My First Attempt at Blogging

I've been meaning to start this blog for a while now. Not really sure what has prevented me from committing myself. Maybe it was fear of the unknown. Or maybe just pure laziness. My husband, Trey, has been talking up Crossfit for a long time. He has tried time and again to get me to do a Crossfit workout with him. And time and again I would make up some excuse. My friends, Michelle & Natalie started doing Crossfit and convinced me to try it. I am indebted to them!! I love it! (Sorry Honey...I should have listened to you!) Granted, there are days when I am cursing walking through that door...for example, when I am seeing little black dots dancing around the room while trying to complete a workout that includes burpees.

I would also like to say how much I enjoy working out at
Crossfit Clarksville. Before, when I thought of going to the gym it was always with dread. Don't get me wrong...I dread some of the workouts...but I always look forward to going to the gym.

Today was one of my least favorite lifts: Deadlifts. I think one of the main reasons I'm afraid of it is because I fear hurting my back or neck. Would make taking care of a toddler kind of difficult.

Today's WOD:

Deadlift 3x3x3x3x3 reps

I did 95, 115, 125, 135, 155

Singles - 180 (PR), 185(PR), 190(PR)

Old PR was 175 so I'm pretty happy about today's workout.

P.S you may want to change your heading "Love/Hate Relationship" that is Nat's phrase and we all know how Nat can be!

Hi Jen, glad to add your blog to my list. :) One more way to waste time on the internet. At least it will be fun keeping up with you. Blogworld is weird because it makes me feel closer to the people who write the blog, but they don't know that...
PS- Caleb likes to do pull-ups too.

Dymphna, are you serious?! I have never heard her say that! CRAP!!! Do you know how long it took me to come up with a stinking title? haha! Oh well, I have time to kill cause it's 3 a.m. and Emmy is screaming her head off cause she insists on being in mama's bed. And mama is insisting on getting some sleep, but I'm not giving in.
