The skinny
I ate dinner at 7:45 p.m., so being ready to sleep at 9:00 was tough. I dutifully got into bed, turned out the light, and turned on “Murder She Wrote.” I know! I know! TV before bed is bad. But Angela Lansbury relaxes me, and I like the them song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PG5yMq-wif0

The CrossFit Women workout was vicious. Handstand pushups? Not my strong suit. But I did a pretty good job, I think, with feet on the box and touching my head to the ground on each one. I felt like my face was going to pop off my skull. Pretty!

I’m starting to really like the ring dips with the band because they’re HARD, and I can feel my triceps working. Pushups? Chest to ground. Wicked challenging. Three at a time ’til they were done.

As always, the sprinting made my brain do this: “Dying. Dying. Dying. Stop! Stop! Stop! Time! Rest…. GooooOOOOOOO!”

    Wow…since we started this thing I think I've actually started getting less sleep. Lame…. I'll work on it for next week, though – starting tonight! 😀
