Absolute Fantastic Memorial Day today at CrossFit TakeOff. We did the hero WOD "Murph." In 2014 my time was 40:20, no vest, kipping pull-ups(no band) but I know my push-ups were weak. I am 99% sure my legs touched. In 2015 I did it in 40:10, no vest, kipping pull-ups (no band), awesome push-ups, my legs NEVER touched. I was happy and sore for a week! I have been working so hard on my strength. My name is on the board at TakeOff for 2 years in a row for the best female time for Murph. Today, May 30, 2016, I wore the 20# vest for the entire WOD for the very first time since I started CrossFit. I dreamt about it the night before because I knew I wanted the mental and physical challenge of wearing the vest. When I walked into TakeOff this morning one of the other female athletes did the class before me and she wore the 20# vest. This particular athlete(Sarah) is super strong and fast. She inspires me. I said to myself, "if she can do it I can." So I did. Keep in mind it was absolutely pouring rain, we all ran through huge puddles. If it was a sunny, cool day we definitely could have shaved 2-3 minutes off our times. My time was 49:21 RX and Sarah's time was 51:10 RX with the 20# vest. Nice Sarah!

I broke up the WOD like this...

1 mile run
25 rounds of:
4 pull-ups
8 push-ups
12 air squats
then..
1 mile run

The push-ups were the worst part. Next time I will break it up different so I perform fewer push-ups at once. Overall great day! I will be honest that I had to take a nap later in the day. Lol

C'mon get out there and challenge yourself! Believe you can do anything and you will!

Check out these photos. These are just regular people like you and I that love to challenge their bodies with mental toughness. I am proud to be around these like-minded people!
