Hey everyone! Long time, no see! Life has been pretty crazy here lately, but that's just the way things are with a little wiggle worm in the house! It's crazy how he changes every day. Lately he's become such the morning person, he's always all smiles first thing. There is no better way to start my day than being able to kiss his smiley face while I head out for a great workout!
I've been able to make it to CrossFit Rife 4-5 days a week and I've also gotten in a few races lately, like the 9/11 Heroes Run with the Travis Manion Foundation and Running Dirty in Chesapeake. I've missed the feeling I get when I'm lined up for a race. I still haven't decided on whether or not I'm ready for the half marathon in October, so we'll see. I also got to take part in an All Girls WOD at CrossFit Takeover at the beginning of the month. That was so much fun! Getting to see so many strong women was amazing and super motivating.

Clean and Jerks...yuck.
Pull ups were actually the easy part of the WOD, a sure fire sign that I probably shouldn't have used that band.
After the Running Dirty event in Chesapeake, I fell in the pool of water under the last obstacle and got cleaned off, Vic was a champ and did the pyramid lookin' monkey bars like they were nothing.
Mmm, post run Shock Top!
He dropped so much mud from his beard into his beer!
This week I started the Lurong Living Paleo Challenge. It's basically a challenge with benchmark WOD's to test your fitness improvement and a very strict interpretation of the Paleo diet. I'm really excited about how following this will help with the baby weight. I've got ten pounds left to get back to my pre-baby weight, 154, so there is lots of hard work ahead! Here are my specific goals that I submitted for the challenge:
1. Do an unassisted pullup
2. Lose ten pounds
3. Look better naked
4. Drink one ounce of water for every two pounds of body weight each day
5. Set a new one mile PR
6. Stretch for 10 minutes each day
I'll keep you posted on how the progress on these go!
Since it seems like the weather here is finally starting to cool down Vic and I should be getting the pups out for more walks at night. Since I work in a cave all day the time spent outside with my little family will be really nice. I'm so ready for sweatshirts and Uggs! I love the summertime but Virginia really knows how to teach a girl a lesson about heat and humidity. I'm officially over summer and ready to be chilly. I love fires, our fireplace was one of my favorite parts of our house. Here's to some chilly nights!
