I can’t believe I got up early on a Saturday to go lift. Fucking crazy. Does anyone remember when I was astounded that I had become the type of person to get up early and run outside? Well, until my “winter” running gear (warm pants and a rain jacket because I actually only own a trench… Read More Diary of a Fat CrossFitter – Starting Starting Strength
I went to CrossFit Jerusalem for the first time earlier this week. After a month off, I’d forgot how wonderfully exhausting lifting + a WOD can be. Folks were very welcoming, although the athletes and coaches totally made fun of me for being so American about introducing myself to everyone. Habits die hard. It was a relatively… Read More Diary of a Fat CrossFitter – CrossFitting in Jerusalem
I was planning on going for my first Jerusalem run n Saturday morning to take advantage of the quiet Shabbat morning when just about no one is out and about. My toddler, however, had a terrible terrible night on Friday. It was so bad, in fact, that when I finally just crawled into her bed… Read More Diary of a Fat CrossFitter – I live on a hill and it is THE WORST
CrossFit didn’t suck yesterday. That was weird, and I’m not sure how I feel about it. I’ve gotten into this mental thing where if I don’t leave thinking that OMG I AM SO TIRED AND THE WORST EVER AT CROSSFIT, then I feel like I should be working harder. In retrospect, that’s pretty silly. I… Read More Diary of a Fat CrossFitter – CrossFit didn’t suck yesterday AND THAT WAS WEIRD
Yesterday, Jasmine threw a temper tantrum in the parking lot, and I picked her up and carried her all the way to the car, along with the groceries, and I wasn’t even winded. Today, Jasmine and I did yoga together when I got home from CrossFit. And then I stopped and just took pictures because… Read More Diary of a Fat CrossFitter – Somewhat less crabby today
If you’re hollering out encouragement to EVERY runner who passes you during the workout, that’s awesome. If you’re only hollering encouragement to the fat chick who’s struggling, well, fuck you, buddy. Here’s the thing that I think a lot of people forget about fat people in the gym, ANY GYM, not just Crossfit: Fat is… Read More Diary of a Fat CrossFitter – Crabby McCrabbyPants
I raced my first 5k over the weekend. Camille, my awesome amazing and to be much thanked running buddy, and I have been training both separately and apart. She, to get back to running after a few kids, and me, to get to a point where I wouldn’t embarrass myself by collapsing on the course after… Read More Diary of a Fat CrossFitter – ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED (1st 5k!)
My running buddy and I, that is, my adult running buddy and I, hit the second spot on our DC running bucket list last weekend. I’ve walked around the tidal basin, but not in years, and I’ve certainly never run around it. My toddler running buddy came too. We had a good run. Camille was… Read More Diary of a Fat CrossFitter – Four months in, it could be worse
I got up yesterday morning thinking I’d catch the metro to go for a run* downtown with Jasmine, only to discover that it doesn’t open until 7. WUT. Washington DC, it’s like I don’t even know you anymore. Yesterday, I had a blast running with Jasmine. I expected her to fall back asleep in the… Read More Dairy of a Fat CrossFitter – Still Running
