Dear Karen,

Again? Seriously? Hopefully we’ve learned our lesson this time KAREN. How does that old saying go? Once shame on you, twice SHAME ON ME!? Well right now Karen, that’s how I feel about YOU. People are unable to walk, and their shoulders hurt a LOT today because of you. Are you happy now? Is this what you wanted? You must get some kind of twisted pleasure out of watching people suffer. Anyways, I have to go take some Advil. I’ll talk to you later you evil jerk.

PS – I’m un-friending you on Facebook

Love,
CrossFit Fire

The workout yesterday was (as you may have guessed) Karen. Karen is 150 wall ball shots for time. Men use a 20lb ball, and women use the 14lb ball. There’s a certain amount of mental toughness that you need to do this workout. It isn’t overly difficult…just squat and throw. However, after about the first 30 you’re breathing heavy, and staring at that target thinking, “dammit I have 120 more to go!” We had everyone scale either the reps or the size of their ball to keep the workout around the 10:00 realm. Everyone did great!

Know what else is great? Pregnant ladies. Mariah is absolutely amazing. She is about 7 months pregnant, and still coming to the Fort and kicking some serious butt. I tell her all the time that I’m glad she’s CrossFitting while pregnant first….it lets me experiment on her so I know what to expect! Tee hee. There’s just something amazing about watching a pregnant lady back squatting and throwing a medicine ball 10 feet above her head. As my sister told Mariah once, “you’re the toughest pregnant lady I know. When I was pregnant I used it as an excuse to sit on the couch and eat pudding.”
