This workout was for April, one of the interns at the gym. Today is her 23rd birthday. (Thanks to Andy for reminding me how old I am this morning.) Yes, I am old enough to be April's mom. Which, in hindsight, really makes me proud that I actually could finish the workout as prescribed. However, I didn't finish within Breck's time limit of 25 minutes, so I kind of let myself down. I ran as fast as I could - that wasn't a problem today. The brutal north wind and 32° temp was enough to make me move faster out there. Several missed reps cost me some precious time that probably could have got me in under the 25 minute mark. I just have to take everything as a lesson and move on. Maintain good form; create speed & power; get under the bar; don't miss reps; be efficient! Yeah, lots of lessons here.

And, totally unrelated to CrossFit, I just found out I get to go to a Dallas Cowboys game this sunday! I'm totally excited!!!! (though I wish they were having a better season)
