Yesterday I ventured over to Crossfit AMRAP for my first foray in the Crossfit realm. What an experience! Kicked my butt without a doubt. Over the top? No.  I think I handled myself with dignity throughout the Workout Of the Day(WOD). It was a 10-9-8-…1 descending ladder doing 10 meter sprints, Hang/Pulls and box jumps. I am glad that the instructor Brittany scaled down the weight and box height because I would have really struggled otherwise. Then I would have been disappointed and probably would have puked. As it was I finished respectably and with a smile. I start Foundations on Monday so we will see how that progresses.

Down ten pounds in last month on Paleo. 98% of it was bodyfat according to the scale so that is a great thing. Hopefully this Crossfit thing will put some of the muscle back where it belongs!

Also just got my first pair of Vibrum FiveFingers Bikila LS barefoot transition footwear. Going to try to make the move to barefoot running since it is so early in my running training. It also changed the way I worked out at AMRAP yesterday too. I was more cognizant of my footwork during the sprints and also during the lifts. Hell even during the box jumps I was more aware of my landing techniques due to them. I felt more stable and I could tell more muscles were activating due the the response caused by the new stimuli.
