sad *sniff*. . .

mmmmm, ice cream

why oh why am i doing this:

and now for our new challenge....

the burpee challenge!

beginning today, monday, july 14th, we are going to start doing one burpee a day until we get to 100 burpees on the 100th day!
the rules:
1. use burgener's burpee standards for form
2. you can complete each day's burpees all at once, or broken up and done at different times throughout the day
3. if for some reason you miss a day, you have to make up all the missed burpees the following day
4. if you don't start the challenge with us today, you can "buy-in" at any time by doing all the missed day's burpees on your first day
5. any burpees you complete during your regular workout can count towards that day’s challenge burpees, if you want them to
5. have fun doing burpees and getting stronger doing it!

and since today is day 4, i have to make up 10 (1+2+3+4), then tomorrow is 5, then 6, and after that, 7-100...

*update*
i did my 10 after my baseline and clean & jerks tonight. baseline was horrid...

happy fourth of july everyone. for your reading enjoyment...

crossfit was awesome tonight. we did cindy.

cindy:
5 pull ups
10 push ups
15 squats
20 minutes
as many sets as possible

as you can see from the above picture, i ripped my hands in four places. that happened when i began my fifth set. i was able to do another 8 for a total of 13 sets in 20 minutes.

afterwards, i wound up doing the wod for today:

box jumps
jumping pull ups
slosh pipe
hug a twinkie
