I've been slacking on posting stuff but not on the workouts, lately it seems like they are the only things that keep me going.

After failing my NASM personal training test by 1 freaking point I kinda retreated. Studying took a lot out of me and I was pretty isolated for a while from friends and Crossfit. Granted this was my choice so I could only focus on studying, but it was still hard. I'm back doing the Rx WOD's and trying to stay up with the 3 on 1 off ratio but with the holidays and intensity of a few of the workouts I've had to take a few unplanned rest days.

I'm also focusing on practicing my 1 armed handstand and beginning my testing my max hand stand hold w/ 2 arms. I ripped my hands pretty bad last week so they are still healing and giving me a lot of pain with the pull ups, I need to figure something out b/c it's pretty miserable at times.

I can't believe it's been 2 months since my last post. I've been cramming for my National Association of Sports Medicine (NASM) Certified Personal Training (CPT) test so I cut back on my personal workouts. I also started coaching at Mercer Island Crossfit at 6am MWF. Implementing that into my already busy schedule took some adjusting but I'm back on track, at least I hope so.

I'm going to get back on the pretty strict Paleo/Zone and 3on-1off workout plan. I have some pretty difficult CF goals coming up, plus I realized how much I miss it. Not just the workouts but the StoneWay Crossfit family as a while.

Lots of realizations came out over the past few months, emotionally, physically, carrier-wise, and personal. I can't wait to get back to reality and start coaching for real.

Went in last night to SWCF for a quick WOD and again this AM for the team WOD. My partner this morning was visiting from Cincinnati so obviously we were partners. This one was tougher than usual Saturday WOD's which I was happy for. It feels good to be back!
