Thursday WOD: 200m run, 50 KB swings 35#, 400m run, 40 KB swings, 600m run, 30 KB swings, 800m run, 20 KB swings. Time 18:11. This one sucked really bad. I thought I was going to throw up. I think it was just the mix of KB swings and the running. We only ended up running a mile and a half but all of the KB swings just do a number on the body. I was spent. After 20 minutes of recovery I felt good. Overall a good workout.
Friday WOD: 5 rounds 5 reps, 15 pull-ups (1 power snatch, 3 OHS = 1 rep) Time 18:11 I know that I am good at doing OHS and snatchs are hard but not grueling so I thought about going heavy but ended up sticking with 65 to get the pull-ups in all kipping. This was a tough one but one that I really like because it makes me focus more on my technique rather then going for a PR.
Monday WOD: Back squats – really didn’t workout much today. I had fun sort of training and working with a group of girls. The classes have been really crowded and I wasn’t really their mentally for the class when it is that big. It was fun to work with the girls and push them to try to get more weights on the back squats.
Tuesday WOD: Easy Fran 21-15-9 95# thrusters and weighted pull-up (12#) I was able to do the 95# thrusters but wasn’t able to get the weight to stay in between my legs and I really use my legs to get up to the bar so I just decided to do strict kipping the whole way. My time was 12:50. Not too bad. I am happy with that. It makes me really interested to see what my Fran time will be when we do it next.
Wednesday WOD: 5 rounds 400m run, 30 sit-ups 25 push-ups Time: 23:01 Push-ups kill me. I have to break those up into set of 10 then 5 and then 2’s by the end. I was happy with the speed at which I was running. I think that I am going to get a watch so that I can see how I progress through a workout. I would like to have known how long the thrusters compared to pull ups took me or what were my split times on the run. This information would be useful.
I have been thinking a lot lately if I would be interested in training. A few Friday’s ago I was at Priscillas house and we had a conservation about the need to have more female trainers at the gym. She said that she thought I would be a good trainer. I had thought about it a bit but really wasn’t too sure. But then later the following week Melanie and Claudia both asked when was I going to start to train. Then last night I was hanging out with Kelly and she said that I would be a good trainer because I have gained a lot of respect from both the females in the class as well as the males. I think about it a lot and think that I would be good and I really like to see the other people in the gym get strong and work with them to help achieve their goals. But at the same time I am a little hesitant because of the amount of time and the commitment that it will take. I love Crossfit and w it has done for me but I don’t want it to be who I am or consume all hours . I don’t know. I think I will talk to Andy about it when he gets back into town and also see how the OLY-Cert goes

Just read your blog and I re-iterate... I would LOVE to have you as a trainer. I agree... it would take some more time, but you would be awesome at it and at the point you are at right now... i don't believe that it will ever consume you if you don't let it.
