Where Have You Been, Charlie Boy, Charlie Boy?

December 26th through January 10th.



With no computer on my holiday, it's been a while since I made any entries.  On our way downstate we worked out at CF906.

December 26th - Deck the Halls WOD:

2 person teams, each with a deck of cards.AMCAP (As many cards as possible) in 30 minutes:
  • Spades: Butterfly Abmat Sit-ups
  • Hearts: Wall Climbs
  • Clubs: Medicine Ball Cleans 20#/14#
  • Diamonds: Box Jumps 24/20″
  • Jokers: Both partners row 500 meters
  • Aces 11 Burpees
*post number of cards and number of jokers in 30 min.

We had a good time suffering together.  the wall climbs were the hardest part of that, especially with Kirsten's shoulder bugging her.  Naturally the new pack of cards that we borrowed showed us all the hearts.  Kirsten thinks we got 30 cards + both jokers
 
After a nice visit with Kirsten's dad, we travelled to my Mom's in Mount Pleasant.

The very next day we got the sad news that Kirsten's dad passed away.  On the 29th I went to my Mom's gym, CrossFit Worthy.  Kirsten was not yet wanting to go.

The following day was our trip back north. We stopped at CF Worthy to limber up before the drive.  Jeremy did some excellent work on Kirsten's shoulder.  We continue to use the stuff that he showed us.   Although this stuff really helps, Kirsten now feels that a trip to the doc is in order.
