Almost had a visit by Pukey!


I have started personal training (“PT”) with one of our very own CrossFit rockstars and Bayou City Angel Katie Russell. Yesterday was my second time to meet with her. I thought we were friends, but I was mistaken; she actually hates me. (J/K)
I have chosen to take on a PT to help me in the areas that need improving: Pullups (more than one at a time), tricep pushups (nipples to mat), box jumps (like a spring), double-unders (without having to clear out a path behind me), speed (no commentary needed here, it just sucks).. the list goes on and on. I can do them all, but there is room for improvement in ALL and so much more.

CrossFit is known for pushing people to the limits and even takes a little pride in making people puke. Hence, the Mascot Pukey the Clown. I have been doing CrossFit for over a year now and in that time I have almost puked once. Maybe I haven’t been pushing myself as much I think I am. Yesterday Katie had me working on sprint work. Holy cow. Twice Pukey almost visited. (Thanks Katie for going in and getting Vic so if it did happen there would be more witnesses, I’m telling you there is some pride in it). Who would think a minute forty-five of work could hurt so badly. After my PT session last night I was whooped. That’s what it is all about right. I’m looking forward to how my results will be changing in the near future (and my body).

I urge all of you that want to improve on your skills to look at personal training, Bayou City has some great coaches that offer there services and knowledge of the craft. It has its rewards.

400 Sprint back in August 1:58; Yesterday 1:45
