Quads still destroyed this morning, which meant I would be hurting at the Level 1 Cert. today, and indeed I was. Certificaiton thus far has been great. All the coaches have been very informative and helpful. It’s nice getting a little feedback as I’m completely self-trained. Although I’m doing most everything right there are little things I need to adjust and it was helpful to know that. Jon from againfaster.com was incredibly helpful, and I feel by far the best coach at the cert. Both in his lecture and group training he was precise, knowledgeable, and overall extremely helpful. I can only strive to be as good as him. It was also good to make contact with Jon as he is a supplier for many of the CrossFit affiliates. I’m completely drained right now, going to bed in a few minutes. Another long…

Pretty sore this morning. Quads are really feeling it from the thrusters yesterday, and my hamstrings are still a bit sore. Went to Bikram this morning in hopes it would losen me up a bit. Tough class, but I could definitely see improvements over the last couple of times that I have gone. It’s nice to sweat that much in the cold winter. I just hope I didn’t push hard enough that I’m sore tomorrow morning from the yoga. Made it to Montreal fine this evening. Despite not having a passport or EDL the border patrol were very easy to deal with. Showed them my temporary license and my birth certificate and they were all set. It will probably be a bigger problem getting back into the states. Level 1 certficaiton starts tomorrow morning. Cheers. – Jade

Well still good and sore this morning. My quads are still really hurting, lower back feels fine, and surprisingly my hamstrings aren’t too bad. They are a bit sore but not nearly as bad as I expected. All paleo yesterday, and strict paleo today, I’m about to go out so I may have a beer or two, try and stick to red wine though. Feeling solid and healthy overall, and I had a great workout today. WOD: Strength:Hang Power Snatch: 95×3, 105×3, 115×3, 115×3, 120×3, 125×3 Met-con:5 rounds for timeThruster 115×7Med Ball Slam 12×14 7:23 Pretty pumped with the snatches. Now I know where to start next time around, was a little light to start but found my way to a good working weight. Was using very little dip, just a few inches, and then exploding up with the bar, no press outs,…

Wow, so sore this morning. I forgot to mention the last couple of days, but my abs are still a little sore from Sunday. My quads are currently destroyed, and my lower back and hams are pretty worked. Surprised my traps aren’t more sore given all the deadlifts yesterday along with the rowing. Body definitely was feeling a bit run down when I woke up, and I could have used a little more sleep, but I got up and worked out shortly after waking on an empty stomach. Had been about 12 hrs since I ate, but I felt good and strong, despite feeling a little tired. It’s still early in the day, so far paleo thus far. WOD: Rings Dip : 5, 5, 5, 6, 6 Barbell Stiff Leg Deadlift: 135×8,8,8,8,8 Barbell Row: 185×5,5,5,5,5 Pretty solid training today. Ring Dips felt pretty…

Woke up this morning feeling pretty crappy again. Didn’t feel sick, but I felt tired and unmotivated. Was really contemplating not working out, but I pushed myself to workout, and I’m happy I did so. Ate strict paleo today, not a single cheat of any sort. Feel a lot better by the end of the day, but I can already feel the soreness creeping into my legs. I’m going to have trouble walking tomorrow. WOD: Mini-Met-cons: #1For time:Run 400mDeadlift 225×30 2:51 #2For time:Push-ups x 50Air Squat x 100 4:20 #3Row 1K 3:46 This workout demolished me. My body was in a wrecked state for a solid hour afterward where I just wasn’t feeling right. I rested as needed between each met-con, ended up being about 7 minutes of rest between each one. This was definitely an awesome workout, and I’m happy with it…
