We're making memories here people!
Growing up whenever my friends & I did something out of the ordinary (or ridiculous) to mark the occasion we used to yell, "We're making memories here, people!"
These are my newest since my last post....
I can lift 30 heavier overhead since the very beginning.
I did 7 pull-ups with the red band. Collecting (toddler version) PRs BABY!!
I PR'd my dips. A total of 8 with a thin black band. (remember I have the strength of a 6 year old)
Whipped in the face by a black band, mentioned above. I did not flinch or cry, stunned...maybe. Then I was gifted with an unusual looking black eye Stripe.
By Bumper's estimation I have done the World's Slowest Bailout in History. Hey, where's my certificate?
I can both sing and run without hurting myself. Not sure if the little calf I pass on my route likes my awesome Mariah Carey version cause every time I pass he moos loudly. I think I may sound a little like this guy below:
I re-learned physics the old fashioned way, by eating pavement! I forgot what would happen when you pivoting on a dime then trying to sprinting as a 45lb weighted sled whips behind you at an estimated velocity of 225 mph. I looked like a jackass, yet SO NORMAL...
I can sprint faster than some boys.
Rogue Fitness
SR-1S - Short Handle Bearing Speed Rope
I can do double-unders.(with the subsequent swearing and all!)
I have an obsession with finding cable jump ropes. (if you want you can buy me a present for Labor Day knock yourself out.)
mobiltyWOD has become one of the only things I read. I worship Dr. Kelly Starette. The dude knows his stuff & is hella funny. http://www.mobilitywod.com/
My rolling pin has been re-purposed as a leg massager. It's not like I ever used it for baking....Now, that would be just weird.
I can do a Ab mat & bumper plate handstand push up without smashing my face in! But who cares if I do, that's what plastic surgeons are for...As long as I don't have Michael Jackson's nose I'm golden. I did a mass load of sit-up without getting the dreaded ass-rash.
Speaking of butts, I'm starting to get one! At least that's what my oldest daughter has said. HA...Up yours Sir Mix-A-Lot!
Mr. & Mrs. Cho
How you like the socks?
I succumbed to the over the calf socks.Shauna was right, they are good. I have 2 pairs of tie dyed ones. Every time I wear them I feel as if I'm going to a Grateful Dead Tribute Concert...
I got to meet two of the coolest parents around, Mr & Mrs. Cho. They came by RFM for a visit. If you're wondering they're the parents of Chyna Cho, Elite CrossFitter, and great friend of RFM. Did I mention I am a fan of hers??
I can kip. It just happened, don't ask me how. The kipping fairy must have visited.
Doing back squatsbarefootedlike Fred Flintstone is so much better.
Carol can make my fatigued plank pose rigid. Simply whispering softly in my ear when my eyes are closed...
I belong to a hardcore team named "Straight Gangstas". Dominic, Myself, Kats & Carol...Yeah, nothing says THUG like 2 short Asians, a Average height Hapa dude & a tall white chick....I'll make sure to pour out a little of my water on the wall today in honor of my Homies....
I have cut my alcohol consumption to almost zero. My liver just LOVES CrossFit.
I will actually workout on a vacation this weekend...Box Hopping in Kona.
RFM GUN SHOW
If you knew me 3 months ago you'd believe that the Apocalypse is coming...Cause my life sure has changed, for the better!
