"Even though you're a nice girl...

...that doesn't mean you can't have evil legs."

;)

Last night, I did my first "walk of shame" at Crossfit! 400m of walking lunges. Rule: You can't move forward unless you're lunging. 

I finished last...and a little more slowly than I wanted...but I finished. 

And it hurts. A lot. But, really... it hurts so good... haha.. :) 

Yes, those are frozen hash browns. On my legs. It helped for a little bit. Until they started thawing. ;)  
I wore knee pads for the workout since your knee has to touch during the lunge. (Cement + lunges + bare knees = bad idea). I gave them to a friend who arrived for the class after mine and didn't bring any knee pads. She sent me the following hilarious text afterwards:

"The knee pads were the clutch! It made the walk of shame so much better. I can't imagine how bad it would have been without them! Thank you!" 

Then, 20 seconds later, she sent another text: 

"If someone read that last text and didn't know what we were talking about, that would seem like the most colorful text I've sent in years." 

hahahahahaha.. 

Stole this from my gym's photos on facebook. :) 


I might never be a Crossfit ninja because I only go a couple of times a week (and sometimes can only make it once) but seriously...best workouts ever...and I love it. As twisted as this sounds, it's really fun! And I feel so great afterwards...even when I'm so sore that it makes me laugh uncomfortably.. haha! The people are a major part of what makes it so awesome; I really dig the culture at my gym. :) And it makes me want to work out harder when I'm at my other gym on my own. 

If you've ever thought about trying Crossfit, I strongly encourage you to just go for it! I never thought I'd love it as much as I do. :)

I'm going to go attempt to stretch my legs now. Peace. *throwing up peace sign like a thug* ;)

1) You are so itty bitty
2) I might go because they incorporate the term 'walk of shame' into a work out
3) Hope you're having an amazing week.

Momma ... You are looking AMAZING and that scoop lulu top is so flattering (I have it in teal!!). I'm so proud of you for sticking with Crossfit, it gets easier and even more addicting. I haven't posted yet, but guess who's going to Crossfit Regionals .... I'm scared out of my mind. Pray for me!!

You are so awesome for finishing the walk of shame, no matter what place you came in! It cracks me up that's what they call it.

I would love to have a Crossfit gym close to use. The nearest one is over an hour :( I think it would be right up my ally!

Good for you for sticking it out :)

I'd love to try Crossfit! But I'd hate to do in front of all those other Crossfit heroes. lol I'd look retarded. I stick to my Insanity workouts :)
