Ad Hoc WOD: my take

As dad said, yesterday's was a made-up WOD.  The WODs proposed for Saturday are usually leftovers from the week that maybe you didn't get around to doing...  Well, we hadn't done met-con in quite a while, and when Heidi asked us is we wanted to do strength or if we wanted to sweat, dad immediately said, "We want to sweat."  

Which was more or less true.  But I knew it meant running, and boy do I hate running.

I finished in 13:32.  Used an empty women's bar for the thrusters.  I could definitely tell that Dad had worked on his running, as he was steadily fast right out of the gate, and I took a long damn time to adjust to the fact that, yes, I had to run 1200m.  I couldn't help envying the people doing Linda right on the other side of the rack from me.

Thrusters are fun but killer.  I like them.

In a twist on our normal CF routine, I brought Jennifer, my bestest friend in the world, with us.  She'd been hearing me babble about CF for weeks now, and she wanted to give it a try.  Well, she went from: "Well it sounds cool but I don't really have the funding to do that so I guess I'll keep going to the UVa gym" to: "So if I join CF Charlottesville..."  It's old and cliched, but where there's a will, there's a way.

She trained with Vas, who I met for the first time yesterday, and did a workout consisting of 3 rounds of: 

10 DL (30 kg)

15 wall balls (unknown med ball...?)

5 pull ups (green band)

She finished it in about 15:30.  I am so proud of her.

LASTLY.  I have been reading Byers Gets Diesel, which is now (and for a limited time only) called Byers Goes Paleo.  Love this girl.  Anyway, I think that I am going to try staying straight-up paleo for 30 days, as she recommends.  I have a lot of non-Paleo crutches that I've had a hard time giving up (dairy, chocolate, CHEESE).  Even with these, I am noticing a great and positive change in my energy levels (high amount and no dips), not to mention weight loss, so I can only imagine how great I am going to feel during/after those 30 days.
