I need to really get on this...
I mean, really how can one CrossFit without setting your yearly goals?
One of my goals to make goals that make sense this year...
Some of my 2010 goals were just flat out nonsensical. Shall I amuse you with them now?
1. 400m run-sub 1:55 (yep, I'm that slow!)
**so I hate running so much that I never even attempted a timed 400 m run, over the course of one full year. That means 12 months without ever thinking to time a 400 m run.
2. 500m row-sub 1:50
**goal met
3. OHS-115#
**goal met
4. C&J-135#
**made it to 123#
5. Grace-as Rx'd
**goal met
6. Pull Ups-get 3 real ones
**I can do 3 kipping pull ups on 3 different attempts...
7. Helen-as Rx'd
**what?!?! 3 pull ups, yet still do Helen with 36 pull ups? That one made a TON of sense.
8. Push Ups-25 unbroken
**I don't think I can do this one, but I should see where I am.
9. snatch-103#
**nope, just made it to 93#
So now I have to think about new goals.
I have a long list so far:
1. 1 deadhang pull up
2. 5 consecutive double-unders (maybe I should make that 2!)
3. Snatch-103#
4. Clean and Jerk-138#
5. string together 20" box jumps, cycle them without resetting each time
Class
Skill
1 PPress+1 PJerk+ 1 Split Jerk (hold 5 sec.)
63, 73, 83, 88x2
WOD
4 rounds
20 ball slams 25#
10 pull ups (BB)
Time: 6:22
After doing the push press wod yesterday, we all just knew that we were destined to have lots of arm work tonight. It never fails...And then we get reprimanded for not checking the strength calendar, but there was no calendar.
I like ball slams. I almost never mind them since they are something I can do without thinking-just pick up the ball, slam it into the ground, repeat...but tonight my arms were complaining loudly during the whole last two rounds.

The Paleo New Year:beef jerky
My wonderful family gives me lots of support as I keep working on this job of becoming fit and healthy, even when they give me Christmas presents!
One sister made me a big batch of these delicious paleo energy bars. They are fabulous! Not too sweet, plenty of good fat to keep you satiated, and very delicious. I'll be making some of my own in the weeks to come to help tide me over on the days when I am out all day and find it tough to fit in a regular meal.
My parents gave me a great meat cookbook, full of info on making your own bacon, sausage and jerky. So I am now on a quest to make the best paleo jerky I can-no sugar, soy or other questionable or undesirable contents. Last night I dried 9 trays of it, half with Italian seasoning, and half with a pepper garlic seasoning.
Initial observations are that homemade jerky tastes a lot more like actual beef. Have you ever noticed that many brands store bought jerky have plenty of seasoning, but then you realize that there really isn't much of the actual beef flavor? This homemade jerky tastes real. I also notice that without the sugar that is found in just about every type of commercial jerky, it seems to dry out a bit faster than I expected. It doesn't taste bad, but it is different.

Stefani picked the wod, but she takes no responsibility for the general "wonderfulness" of the wod since it came from Joc's class. Doing this one with Stefani, Melissa and Lindsay made it possible to actually finish the 20 minutes. I was ready to stop after 5 minutes...It also really helped to have Danny pushing us. That was a lot of push presses!!
