Meg invited me to a Toys for Tots event at her box Saturday morning and today I can’t move my body.
It hurts so good.
About 40 people donated 157 toys. Woo-hoo! I pitched in two toys and won a t-shirt in a raffle at the end of the event. I never win things! There is in existence a super-awkward picture of me lunging through a giant tire while wearing the shirt; hopefully Meg can track it down for me and I can post it promptly.
Everyone divided up into teams of five to do the WOD (workout of the day):
– 200 meter run
– Burpee to 45-lb plate
– 10 meter farmer’s walk with kettlebells
– Squat hops
– Rest
We each rotated to the next exercise as soon as the runner on our team finished the sprint, and we did this as many times as possible in 12 minutes. I started with the run and I think ran three times, and I know I ended the WOD doing burpees because I wanted to fall on the floor and die.
Each team member was supposed to keep track of his or her reps and report the number to the next person so we could keep an overall count of the team’s reps, but my team quickly got confused/lost track and had no numbers to report. Ohhhh well!
I was sweaty and out of breath when we finished. It was definitely a good workout, especially considering how sore my quads, arms and shoulders are! I don’t think Crossfit is my thing, but I can see why people some love it. Crazy people, that is.
Oh, you know it’s true.
I met a ton of awesome, friendly people at Stoneway Crossfit, and even scored a new running buddy! Allegedly he “doesn’t run that fast” (right) and we’ll take it easy since I still haven’t run farther than 4 miles since the marathon.
Yeah… we’ll see how that goes.
