Short-Term Running Goals:

Maybe run a few more marathons?? Stay healthy, motivated and consistent.  Races are fun, but unlike the hokey pokey, its not what its all about for me.  Its about health, sanity and feeling great about myself bc I can call myself a runner. :)

Went to a Crossfit class with Erin and realized how weak and ridiculous I am. Couldn't do the push ups. Had to do a bunch of sets of 10 in btwn deadlifts with a heavy bar and 15 lb weights attached to each end. And It was hilariously ridiculous. I felt like I was a contestant on the biggest loser. I sit at home and watch them and think to myself "that must suck. to be that weak...that's too bad." And..ahem. That was me. By the end I couldn't push myself back up. Literally could NOT. I tried and my arms gave out and I fell to the ground. I'm already sore and I"ve only been home an hour. My abs, arms, hamstrings, shoulders, butt..ridiculous. I thought bc I can go run 3 to 5 miles that I would be decent. Not. The. Case. I sucked so bad it wasn't even funny. But Erin found it funny.

Another day of Cross fit with Erin. This is how it goes

"Good Erin.."  "Lysa, what you're going to want to do is.." "Nice Erin.." "Lysa, maybe try taking your shoes off, see if that helps.." "Great job Erin!" "Lysa, I need to see you chin ABOVE the bar, not below it.." "Looking good Erin.." "Lysa, maybe you need to widen your stance a little.." and so on and so forth..

I am Ridiculous. Today I found myself grunting out loud over and over and not caring. We had to do the row machine 500 meters, 40 squats, 30 sit ups and 20 pull ups as fast as we could timed. This was after several other squats, lifts, and rows.  I still have to use my right arm to scratch my face bc I can't quite lift my left one up that far yet bc of the push ups the other day. I wonder if by tomorrow if I will be able to get out of bed.
