P.R. Thursday
What can we say about Thursday? It’s kind of a boring day. Wednesday is exciting because the work week is half over. Friday is exciting because, well, it’s Friday! Poor Thursday is stuck in the middle. What do you say that we liven it up a little bit.
From now on Thursday will be known as P.R. (Personal Record) Thursday. I want everyone to think back on the week that we have just completed, and let everyone know about a PR that you had. I know that there are a lot of them out there because I have seen them in the gym. These PRs could be a max weight lifted, a new fastest time in a workout, or a goal completed. Shoot, it doesn’t even have to have taken place at Wine Country CrossFit, tell us about the big sale you just closed at work. Share your successes with your fellow CrossFitters.
I’ll get us started. Two days ago, I did the Army’s APFT with the 9:00 class. I had a PR in the run. I ran under an 8 minute /mile pace for the first time ever when running more than a mile. I credit my PR to finally learning to POSE run properly.
I’m also going to use this post to call out a couple of PRs that I witnessed recently.
First, Rocky got his first muscle up a bit more than a week ago!
Second, Jamie cleaned 100lbs this morning in the 6am class!
Alright guys, take it away from here, what have you done that was a PR this week?
Ummm yeah, that's a PR!

I don’t know Ryan. I think you got that running PR just because you were trying to catch me.
I think I am beginning to get the POSE thing down as well. I ran that 6 seconds slower than on 12/3/09 but considering how little I’ve run since then I was pretty happy with it. I still need some POSE tuning but I felt like I was staying off my heels really well.
My goals right now are to improve my muscle up so I have less misses and to get a handstand push-up. The HSPU is coming. I am feeling much stronger on the hold now.

For the record, Thursdays are NOT boring…The Office + paleo dinner party = the best!!!! Even better if you count wine as something you can “gather”
