Did I Say -7 Was Cold?

So.....can I take that back?  Let me rephrase; -21 is cold!!!!  It was a bone-chilling -21 this morning.  Absolutely miserable.  Coldest day since Murff and I moved here over 4 years ago!!!  I actually had to stay home from work because it was too cold to leave the dogs out and we live too far away from work to leave them inside all day (13+) hours.  I was hoping the car wouldn't start so we could both stay home, but what can you expect with a new Subaru LOL  Anyhoo, a day at home with the pups, can't complain :)

Today's WOD: "Angie"
For Time: 21:22
100 Pullups (modified to jumping)
100 Pushups (all real pushups!!!!)
100 Situps (modified to crunches)
100 Squats

Let me just say....ouch!

Texas Trip

Last weekend we flew to Texas to visit family.  We had such a wonderful time!  This was a very important trip to me since Murff was also coming.  It was so great to see everyone; niece, nephew, cousins, friends and all!!!  Can't wait to go back home later this year.  Again, kicking myself for not taking enough pics.  I still can't get over how fast all the kiddos are growing up and how darn cute they are!  I wish I could see them more often.  Need to start Skyping again!  There's nothing that can replace family, I am always so happy after visiting.

Here's the WOD we did while in town:

"100"
5 Rounds for time:

100 Jump Rope (singles)
100 M Sprint

-7, Brrrrrrrrr

Ok, now I do enjoy cold weather, but.....this morning it was -7 degrees outside!!!  A bit on the chilly side!  Finally warming up to a nice 25 degrees and sunny :)  I have decided to start posting our CrossFIT workouts as a way to stay motivated.
