Tomorrow is Preggo Day – bring a pillow or something to stuff under your t-shirts to resemble a pregnant belly and do the WOD with it.
Woooo! Go Cheyenne!
A good person to coach is someone who is focused on learning. Someone who will take their coach’s advice on form and technique and will work on these at every opportunity so that they improve. It’s also a person who can take critical feedback and work with it rather than resent it. And it’s someone who will take the small improvements and celebrate them for the victories they are rather then become frustrated that they’re not perfect or not getting X weight in their lift.
I also want to take this opportunity to thank you Kevin for coaching me through my frustration last night. I had a mental block on getting into those squat cleans and if it wasn’t for your coaching and the 5:30 class’ great encouragement, I would have given up.
I’m sorry that I let it get to me so much, that’s not normal for me and I could give you a number of valid excuses but none of them truly count. What counts is my attitude, I should have taken this as a learning opportunity, but took it as an opportunity to sulk. I won’t let it happen again.
I knew you had it in you. You knew you had it in you. But there were some roadblocks. We all come across them sometimes. I’m glad you’re taking this as a learning opportunity, because you will only grow from it.

Ps I really enjoyed watching the 315 do birthday burpees!!
happy B-day!!
Happy B-Day John. As much as we enjoy your company, thanks for not gracing the 6 A.M. crew with your presence…. After yesterday’s burpees, I didn’t need more today.
Happy Birthday John!!! Didn’t realize it was your B’day when I saw you earlier.
Happy Birthday Johnny!!

Been trying to text and call for over an hour to cancel myself out of 6:30.
I don’t know if it’s just my phone (Which has been working fine all day) or the Rogers Network, but I can’t call anyone or text anyone. I can’t even dial 611 to talk to Rogers.
Anyway, long emotionally draining week. I’m looking forward to a fresh start next week.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

400m Run

Running is a big goat, and it took alot out of me today.
Some of you may notice that lately I always seem have a pile of kleenex nearby during a workout….. NO I don’t have a cold. I have what is known as Vasomotor Rhinitis (aka Non-Allergic Rhinitis). Basically, my nose runs/drips when exposed to changes in temperature, humidity, strong odors, smoke, etc. I’m especially sensitive this time of year when the outdoor temperatures are dropping – which also means that running in cool temperatures is an even greater challenge. Can be frustrating at times, but I won’t let it stop me.
So… now you know.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
It’s a Golf weekend for me!! (and yup, I’ll have my kleenex packed for that too)
WOD @ 85# -> 16:02 41sec. more tgen last time but 20# more.
Remember everyone that tomorrow is a Prego WOD so bring a pillow or something to stuff under your shirt. It’s probably Sonia’s last Saturday class so let’s show her how we can move with our belly

Great job 6:30 crew!
Have a great long weekend fella CrossFitters!
WU x 2
Strength: Push Jerk (x5)
* practiced with “rack jerks” (I think) with weight behind neck and “snatch somethings” to get used to getting under the weight. Then switched to some push jerks.
45-65-85-95 ~ stopped because felt tweak in shoulder. No where near my previous max. Technique did feel better, however.

400m run
15 OHD Squats 40#
Time 22:12 (but it felt like an hour)
This is a double goat workout for me and I wasn’t sure it wouldn’t take me out after the first 9 squats. I was sure 40 #’s would be o.k. (and then I wasn’t sure 15 would be o.k.) Got through with 40# in broken sets (mostly 9 + 6) until the last round (5+5+5). At least the OHDS make the running seem better.
Shoulders sore, legs tired, attitude burnt.
so I guess QOD answer would be “not me today”.
Oops, think last round was actually (5+10)

Lower weight due to pull hip flexer. Thanks Jo for the technique on how to hold the bar in the cleans. I could really see the difference today.
Last time I did Nancy was in sept 2010; 12:33 @#55. Felt weak today, maybe due to stress cause of exams or lack of water.
