What you’ve all been waiting for…

Sorry to keep you all waiting on Friday to announce the winner of my giveaway. Some of you know this, but if you don’t know already I sometimes like to take breaks from blogging on the weekend, and usually blog 5x (sometimes twice a day) during the week days sometimes about random office supply things like my favorite pens from Hong Kong. ANYWAY! I went home sick on Friday so I didn’t get a chance to draw a winner’s name for the Gourmet Gift Basket. Thanks to everyone who entered, I had 102 entries! Success. So here we go. The winner will be announced below!

Congratulations Jordan. :)  Please e-mail me (spiffykerms at gmail dot com) with your shipping info!

My CrossFit Journal (week 14)

______________________________________________

Week 14 Day 1.

5 rounds

15 SDLHP (95/65) – 50 for me
10 Supines
200m Run

Finished in 16:38

I haven’t kept track of what weights I used during SDLHP’s (Looking back from the older entries, I did them in week 7 and week 2). So I had to try and remember what I was capable of lifting for them. I ended up using 50lbs in total. I thought I was doing them correctly but I was dropping my shoulders and just pulling up the weight that way. Needed to remember to pinch my shoulder blades, it was a difficult move and I’m not sure how to piece it together just yet.

I also got the biggest compliment from my trainer that day. He saw me running on my 5 rounds of 200m runs and he said I have a really great stride and my core looked tight and I should honestly take up running. It’s all mental for me, everything is — my breathing gets out of control and I can’t stop it.So I “panic” when I get to 5 or 7k and I feel like I can’t go any further, and when I do my breathing goes wild.

Week 14 Day 3.

21-15-9 reps for time of:

Deadlift; 315/205lb
Box jump; 30/24″

What the WOD looks like:

Deadlift:

24″ Box jumps:

My time: 9:48

For the deadlifts we had to lift 75% of our max. I thought my max was 115bs so he put me at 105. At the end of the workout I told him I could’ve easily lifted more. I think my max rep definitely went much higher! Getting stronger!!
