I know everyone else will have equally amazing results, it really helped that we were all going through it together and were able to feed off of each other's enthusiasm. Thanks crossfit valley park!

5:00am - bowl of oatmeal with craisins and walnuts
7:00am - Go St. Louis Marathon - 26.2 miles - 3hrs, 51min. Race went really well, weather was warm but gorgeous! Stuck pretty much accoring to plan, keeping the first 20 miles between 8:30 and 9min pace. Original plan was to run the last 6 miles at an 8 pace and finish strong. Actually felt better the last 6 than i have in soooo long. Miles 21 and 22 were an 8:07 and 8:16, then the hills and the heat took me back in the 9 range, but overall the last 6 were strong and form felt good. Didn't see any of the other crossfit gang at the race, hopefully alll did well.
post race - banana and 100 cal pac of cookies
Lunch - Joanie's pizza! 2 slices of pizza and grilled chicken salad with vinaigrette - oh and VERY large diet coke - yummmmmmm
dinner - grilled pork with olive oil, balsamic, and steak seasoning marinade, salad, glass of wine
dessert - cookie dough concrete from the malt shop - really - I am going to start getting back on track this week! (tasted soooo good, but sick to my stomach afterwards!)

Time to figure out the summer race calendar and plot out a training plan for the summer to add in biking and swimming.

10:30 - turkey lunchmeat, walnuts, carrots
2:30 - larabar
6:30 - pasta dinner at church for team living water - marathon on sunday - yikes! Brownie at home - felt sick afterwards, my body is not used to this!

Day 67 - Thursday
5:00am - banana and sunflower butter
5:30 - crossfit - 5X5 backsquats alt with max pullups - tested for the challenge and got 7 deadhang pullups (starting was 3), 145# backsquat - 3 reps (started at 113), and 25 pushups (up from 5). Pretty sure the decibels from Melissa H's cheering was what pulled me up from that last backquat. WOD today - KB swing(35), box jump, thrusters(45#bar) 10,9,8...1 8:14.
So impressed with everyone's progress and weight loss. I saw a picture of Dan F on the wall from before the challenge and I hardly recognized him. Talk about inspirational stories, they need to add up all the weight lost, and added pounds lifted on the benchmarks and make a paleo/crossfit commercial!
9:00am - 3 mile run easy at 9min pace - hydromassager(the real reason I still step into Golds!)
12:45 - spinach salad with turkey, avacado, mushrooms, tomato, beets, carrots, pecans, red pepper, balsamic vinaigrette. 2 choc/fruit balls
6:00 - bison burger(no bun)with avacado, zucchini and yellow squash, glass of white wine
