OOTWW

ootwwHello all! What does everyone have planned for the long weekend?

Last night I went climbing again with some bud’s. Ended up doing top rope again for the first time in a year or so. I’ve been bouldering the last few weeks and finally strapped on my harness and did some 5.10’s!climb 2

I was pretty happy about that. In just a few more weeks, I’ll be tearing down the 11’s! hee hee.

I have today off work, due to it being Good Friday. I slept in until 11am or so, then made myself some eggs (two, to be exact) and that gave me the burst of energy I needed. I ended up cleaning out our fridge which didn’t take as long as I had thought it would, surprisingly.clean fridge

All spic ‘n span now. Love opening it up and seeing everything so freshly organized. I think we have enough margarine to do us until 2014, don’t you think? Also looks like we’re well stocked on the vitaminwater. I’d like to tackle the porch now, but I kind of want to sit down and watch movies on netflix.

I also want to test out these bright neon kicks this weekend, since it’s pretty sunny and not much snow on the ground anymore.Saucony Virrata Perfect time to go for a run (first time since January) don’t you think? Omg, I can’t get over how bright they are you guys. They’re the Saucony Virrata’s.

What are your plans for Easter?

Soccer!

Second last game, was intense. All without female subs. Here’s a recap: Ball to the face (my eye was swollen after. Ew). Ball to the stomach unexpectedly (I let out a big OOF, then ppl embarrassed me asking if I was ok lol) then after I had to stand off the freakin field and take another puff of my asthma inhaler…had a mini attack. I woke up the next day with the ball imprint still implanted into my stomach and a black toenail! Do you know how long those take to grow out? A YEAR. A full year. Second last game of the entire season too, of course that would happen ;)

Jenn and I were the only one’s at CrossFit this Saturday evening so we were taking tons of photos of each other doing the WOD. It was super fun lol.

The heaviest weight I went for (for the last 10 jerks) was 70lbs! I was pretty pleased with myself, that’s some pretty heavy weight, ya’know?

Here are some of the (many) photos we took on Friday evening:
