Well, I’ll finish my awesome recap of our camping trip sometime soon, but spoiler:
It snowed, and we came home early!!!! Happily, that meant we got to make it to a baby dedication party for some friends in our gospel community group. But it snowed on Sunday and most of the day today!!
By the way… check out who was recently spotted in my anthro jacket:
Author Shauna Niequist! I was pretty excited when I saw this pic on her Facebook page the other day.
Sooo… cleaning up after camping is definitely a lot of work! I spent most of the morning doing tons of laundry and getting the housework back under control.
Took a little time out to talk to these crazies:
So hilarious!! I got to see lizards, Lego creations, and their dog’s new trick. Being an aunt is the best. :)
Meanwhile, Boyd Bear was up to no good:
Such a naughty Boykin! I’m glad he got the one that I’ve melted a few times!
Got cracking on my May Goals… far too cold to work on pull-ups in my garage, but I did some rowing. I did the medium length Concept 2 WOD which was 3x row 8 minutes on and 2 minutes easy. So I rowed 6457 meters in 30 minutes. So my average pace was 2:19 (per 500m). Yeah, that was harder than I expected. I’ll keep working on it.
Went back to CrossFit tonight. Felt “so out of shape” like I always do after missing a few days. Haha. We did Nasty Girls:
Since I don’t have muscle-ups (yet – lol), I subbed 14 pull-ups + 14 dips and finished in 13:37, using 95lbs for my hang power cleans.
The good news is that I power cleaned 135 during the strength portion!! My 1 Rep Max for power cleans has been 125 since 8/16/13 (perks of having a blog). That is sooooo long, and I feel like that’s a pretty low number for me so it’s always been irritating. I squat cleaned it last week so I figured I could power clean it tonight. And so I did. I didn’t overthink it… I just did it. When I squat cleaned 135 the other day, I was in a class with a bunch of dudes who were all doing 200+. I seriously had no one to mope around and complain with. So sad. Haha. So I just did the work. Tried to channel that again tonight, and it worked out. This time. :)
Hope you had a great Monday!
