I can’t believe how many people are in to the CrossFit craze.

Just today, a co-worker asked me about the dry-erase board bordering my cubicle.

Patty is ... (there is an assortment to choose from)
*hiking
*on a date with Tim Tebow
*doing the Cha Cha Slide
*in denial
*eating cookies

But one option caught my co-worker’s eye:
*on her 79th burpee

“I didn’t know what a burpee was until I started CrossFit,” she said.

I was amazed. Another person loving CrossFit!

So after returning from hiking all over God’s green earth, aka Yosemite National Park, for five days, I decided to return to class tonight.

W.O.D. (Workout Of the Day):

Weapons of Mass Destruction:

People, we had to perform 50 of each exercise! Not sure how that was going to happen.

From most to least difficult:
*press (these took me forever)
*power cleans (these took a lot out of me—and were my last exercise)
*slosh pipe lunges (I kind of cheated and kept all the water at one end so I could actually balance myself. Tough stuff! Don’t tell Nathan!)
*double unders or 200 singles (I’m improving with the double unders—just not enough to do 50 in a row. One day.)
*1-arm kettlebell swings (I almost threw it over my head and behind me. Oops.)
*sit-ups (I kept a steady pace and didn’t stop.)
*slam balls (what a great way to let out some aggression!)

Whenever you’re ready to join Nathan at CrossFit Malicious, let me know. Hope to see you there.
