I liked Dinner in NY — thanks for posting! I'm totally the girl who eats dinner on (not in) her bed. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one 🙂
I really like that photo of me. I am very pleased that it is the photo of the day.
Matt: Indeed, awesome photo – captures grit and power really well! (Nice work Asta!)
Oh Dinner in New York..

Feeling a bit run down from this weekend.
12:36 monday wod.
Used 16# ball and 10' target. Couldn't get pullups to be strung together until the last set. It was like my rhythm was off.
AR was good times. Going to try to get some extra sleep tonight, I definitely need it.

Dug Matt U's curling bit. This spring: "Matt U goes petanque-ing!"
Had the privilege of doing yesterday's WOD with the 'other' Chris A. (you know, the guy who holds some spots on the leader board, has a medal from some kinda competition they throw every four years, and holds, um, a record of some sort). He made it look easy: 6:51. I, on the other hand, was huffing and puffing by the end of round one.
9:17, rxed. Pull ups were unbroken but wall balls were nasty. bleh.

As usual, struggled with wallball but the rowing and pull-ups felt pretty solid.
