Us after the WOD, hands in pain...
The WOD:
Tonight was such a successful night. Establishing our one rep max was so invigorating! The 125 was so hard but I stayed with it. Bill made me feel even better when he told me my form was solid the entire time :)
Words cannot describe how awesome that feeling was! I LOVE Crossfit!
Mom hitting 100 is incredible since her last front squat was 75 or something. She was beyond excited! And Craig hitting 265! That's just amazing! We rock!
Anyway, the actual WOD was tough. I used 55lbs for the ground to overheads and mom used 45lbs. We both just did overhead presses once we got the bar up from the ground. These were tough and after a while, my hands and arms were really killing me. This was such a great workout though.
Another goal that was conquered tonight was our pull-ups! I used the red skinny band the entire time!! I have never done this before. I usually start out with the red and end up using the green because they become so hard. Not this time! I stuck it out and used the red! Whoooo hoooo! Mom used the green the entire time too!! She usually adds the red for extra help but she stuck it out!!! Like mother like daughter ;) hehe
We both completed 5 rounds even in 10 minutes! So 25 ground to overheads and 50 pull-ups! My arms easily felt like falling off. In fact, it is now 4 hours after the workout and my arms still feel like jello. Pain will be intense during the next couple of days but well worth it!
Being strong is so incredible!

Everyone did a really great job tonight, especially Ed and Chavone (our newest crossfitters)! Totally impressed by how much they lift and endure!
Plans for this week -> Crossfit Monday Wednesday and Friday... Speed/interval training Tuesday and Thursday.
I must say, doing speed interval training has really increased our endurance during the last couple Crossfit workouts.
