Talk about fitness!!

Now I am not claiming to be in the fittest shape (yet), however, the WOD I just did today was great.

"Helen"
Three rounds for time:
Run 400 meters
1 1/2 pood Kettlebell X 21 swings (or 55 pound dumbbell swing)
12 Pull-ups

My previous time for this WOD was 25:34. Today 10:42!!! Are you kidding me almost 15min better!!. I still need to work on strength and such, however, I can really feel a difference in my MetCon abilities. I went in not knowing how many breaks I would take as I know they drasticly slow your time and then you have to get back in the rythmn. I took one break on the last round of KB swings that was it. I am pumped!!!
I hope this success will carry over to the strength WODs as time goes on. Tomorrw Deadlifts and then I just looked on the main site and Wednesday's WOD is Barbara. If you remember that was the WOD that I met Pukie. Not this time, better time for the WOD and I am not going to see that Pukie guy again, unless it is after the WOD is completed.

Melissa has decided to taste the KoolAid and try CrossFit. There is a site called CrossFit Mom that is for, obviously, pregnant women. She did her first WOD tonight and some skill exercises. She enjoyed it and I hope she continues to participate during the rest of her pregnancy and after.
