Is this going to be the 09 Games week?
Starting day two of the cert with steel cut oatmeal, grapefruit, coffee, and bacon. I love being home (my mom is taking very good care of us).
I have awesome instructors.... many of which I have watched in videos on the journal. Lisa Ray, Josh Everett, Todd (?) he did the recent video of working out of his garage in Montana, Chris (?), Curtis Bowler, and Nadia. Curtis Bowler is awesome. Rainier crossfit is his gym. If you have never watched any of his videos, check it out. He is the king of odd object lifting/strongman comp stuff. He has huge cement balls, crazy looking barbells, insanely heavy objects for farmers walks.... so cool. He put the trainers through a workout at lunch yesterday. Lisa Ray was lifting a completely round (sweaty and slippery) like 125# cement ball (this is giving me good ideas). Did "Fran" at the end of the day and can't believe how nervous I was. Decided to do it Rx even though I was a bit worn down but set a new PR by about a minute and 1/2. 9:56. They had a cut off time of 10 min so I had like 3 coaches screaming in my ear to "GO, GO,GO" during the last thrusters and pullups. Then I realized that I have never been to a crossfit gym outside of our garage. I was completely out of my element!!!!! CONSTANTLY VARIED. The pull up bar and the barbell felt strange and I didn't have the security of my husband right next to me. Amazing how the energy of a bunch of strangers can kick you into gear. There are some strong women here. Awesome to see all these girls young and old CRANKING out thrusters and pullups. Some women were doing it in under 5 min. What the @#$%!!! Also cool how after a workout the endorphins kick in and people are so chatty and happy where in the beginning of the day people were just timid and quiet. Love it. Ok, gotta go get my ass kicked again. Oh yeah, I also got called into the middle of my groups circle for some critique on my air squat... thought I had it down but, NO! I got work to do. Hope all is well in the garage. We miss everyone and love reading all the comments!!!! PABLO~ I got you a t-shirt. Size L instead of S.

Awesome Molly. Super exciting and very challenging. You are diving in. Fran PR by a minute and a half...wow! Can't wait to hear more when you guys get back.
Nice Molly! Strong work. Such an empowering environment to be in; expanding the perception of what is possible. Lisa and Nadia were at my cert, too. Both did a stellar job. I got a lot out of Lisa's teaching. Can't wait to hear all about your experience when you get back. Enjoy day two! Thanks for thinking of the t-shirt. We'll switch when you get back.
Great to hear about how much fun it is and how much you're learning, Molly! Don't worry, Paul is pushing us all here...we had fun workouts the last two mornings with creative warmups too. I tried out the Midwestern Sectionals "Air Force" workout: start each minute with 4 burpees, then with the rest of your time (hah!) do 20 each at 65# thrusters/ SDHP/ push jerk/ overhead squat/ front squat. It was brutal, and if I had been at the sectionals, I would have barely made it under the 20 min cutoff. And the top women did it under 9 minutes!
