Experimentation

1 Mar: Rest!
2 Mar: CrossFit
3 Mar: CrossFit "Snatch," 4 x 1/2 mi (7 mi total)
4 Mar: CrossFit "Fight Gone Bad"
5-6 Mar: Rest
7 Mar: CrossFit "Saturday WOD"
8 Mar: 20.5 mi run
------------------------------------------------------
Interval times--3:09, 3:07, 3:12, 3:10 for the half mile. I ran those on the FamCamp path on the base. It was windy, and I had horrible heartburn. What gives??

Fight Gone Bad--I love that workout of the day (WOD)!!! I had never done the actual WOD before, so it was great to crank out so many reps. I was the 2nd highest in our gym, which pretty much never happens. I'm getting better!

Long run--I ran my "favorite" hill out on the base. I climbed/decended ~2800 ft total. It took me 2:55, and my pace was 8:36. I don't think this is too bad considering the altitude, headwind, and lung problems today. I feel pretty good after the run too.

Paleo Experiment--Most people at the CrossFit gym are participating in a month-long Paleo challenge. We have to eat strict Paleo between 2-28 March. We also have to get 8 hrs a sleep a night and CrossFit 4 times per week. So far I've earned all the points! The hardest part was cutting out the sugar, surprisingly. But I think have been eating mostly Paleo anyway, so it wasn't too much of a stretch. I thought I would feel totally crappy on my run today, considering I've only eaten plants (a LOT of plants), chicken, fish, and nuts. But I felt GREAT! I am also getting ripped, and I never, ever thought I would say those words in my life. And I love the foods I am eating. :-)
