Pardon the word “Bitch”. But that’s how my friends used to call me. They hate and love me for being able to eat three cups of rice without getting fat. I love how skinny I am then and that I can still finish my races with a decent time.
Not until I got into Crossfit….and I didn’t realize how big of a change it was until I saw this picture sent to me by my friend a few days ago.
2010 Camsur Marathon:
It is almost two years since I met Crossfit in November of 2010 during their free intro WODs at Ultra thru my friend.
Other than my now obvious muscles, I can surely function better than when I first started. can’t barely push press 25lbs and have to settle to using 15 lb-bar when I WOD for more than 5-reps.
I can now back-squats at 160# (This is a strength training WOD at 125lb box squat for dynamic effort of 2x every minute for 10 minutes). The pizza was the treat for finishing it!
One of the Met-cons we do.
Handstand pushups, Burpee Box jumps, KB swings and Med Ball Situps. I can handstands now!
Sometimes I hate the triceps but my old skinny arms can’t do those jumping muscle ups. Sooooon, in the near future, hopefully I can do real muscle ups.
Pistols Squats as Running Cross Training
I do hope I would continuously be a BETTER version of my yesterday, everyday. Not just in Crossfit but in life, as well. After all, it tops my 2012 bucket list.
