“How many of the speed dating guys emailed you so far?” my mother asked me last weekend. If you remember I briefly mentioned on the blog that I went speed dating a couple of weeks ago. Half of the time I was there, I was bummed about missing out on Deadlift Day, and as much as I tried not […]

Pre-Crossfit Competition Jitters and Workout Struggles

by ~jenniferlynn on April 24, 2013

in CrossFit

Why is it so hard to take a rest day? Every week, I have been taking Wednesdays off. It’s nothing new, nothing special. It just fits in nicely with working out Monday, Tuesday (double WOD), Thursday (double WOD), Friday. But today, I’m especially struggling with taking the day off. I’m blaming it on pre-competition jitters.. Since […]

Writing these recap posts makes me so sleepy if I wait until Sunday night to put them together! Probably would make the most sense to do them as each day goes on, but really by the time I get home from the gym most days the last thing I want to do is get in […]

If all of my weeks keep going like they have been, I’m going to be a Crossfit queen pretty soon. I hit a couple more PRs this week and despite having one crummy workout, I managed to put in three WODs, two Endurance classes, and an Oly Lifting class! Sadly, not much running this week, […]

It’s finally April! And sadly, winter has not officially left us here in Michigan. A couple of days lately we made it to the 50s, but it always seems to go back to frosty mornings. This week’s supposed to be a bit nicer, but of course with warmer temperatures has to come rain. Can’t have […]

by ~jenniferlynn on April 5, 2013

in CrossFit

If you didn’t hear me mention it in just about every Crossfit Games Open recap post thus far (13.1, 13.2, 13.3, 13.4), participating in a worldwide competition against the fittest athletes in the world has been absolutely one of my favorite experiences thus far in Crossfit. This Wednesday, as I have done for the past four Wednesdays […]

in CrossFit, Running

And it’s another Sweaty Sunday workout recap! This week I beat myself up. Physically and mentally, just drained! Since I started doing the Crossfit Open Workouts (Check out 13.1, 13.2, 13.3, and 13.4), my desire and drive to become a better athlete has seriously increased ten fold. I don’t just want to go to Crossfit. […]

Crossfit Games Open – Workout 13.4: Third Time is a Charm?

by ~jenniferlynn on March 31, 2013

in CrossFit

One of the main points I am taking out of participating in the Crossfit Games Open is that my body has been able to do things I have never thought it could do, and it is making me want to push for things even more than ever. I all of a sudden have this severe […]
