Randomness

Not that my "semesters" don't all blend together right now, so like it makes a difference, but I had the huge urge to do ONE LAST fun trip before "summer ended"! So Linda Lu and I packed up to head out to a wedding that we were supposed to be going to...but plans quickly changed! We were headed to the river! We threw a tent in the car, packed one small bag each and hit the road! It was so much fun to not overthink it, not overplan it, ...just DO IT! :) We found an amazing little camping spot that was far enough away from other campsites that we only had one drunk guy run directly into our tent in the middle of the night while we were asleep (yeah, THAT was fun), but not so far away that we were those stupid girls that get killed in every horror movie!

We ate a yummy dinner at Adobe Verde, caught a couple hours of sleep, and hit the river bright and early the next morning for a 6+ hour float!


OH we laughed SOOOOOOOOOO hard on this trip!




It was a quick trip, but we had sooooo much fun and I came back refreshed and ready to tackle things at work!
I had to tweak our training schedule just for one day, but don't worry we made it up on Sunday morning and didn't miss a beat! Speaking of training, we are officially in our "light" week after our PEAK week last week! I laugh that we now consider a 1200 meter swim a light swim day, but after many 2000+ meter swims, this feels like cake! My body is definitely starting to feel the effects of the rigorous schedule as I'm having a lot more aches and pains starting to pop up everywhere! Nothing a quick ice bath in the morning and HOT baths every night can't fix! ...and don't forget the ibuprofen!
For weeks I've been SO excited because my appetite just WENT AWAY! So, burning more calories than ever paired up with no appetite= good results for Misty! :) But don't you worry, it came back this week and it came back with a vengeance! I seriously CANNOT eat enough to be satisfied...I am INSATIABLY hungry! I wonder if a "healthy snack" of a spoonful of Peanut Butter or a small handful of almonds is still healthy when you eat 7 spoonfuls of PB and 2 lbs of almonds...because that's the kind of day I had yesterday!!

I just cannot explain what it is about CROSSFIT that makes it so amazing! Seriously, if you haven't before, go to Crossfit.com and check it out! I've seen the results in people around me! I'm working on a video that I like to call "Ode to Crossfit"...watch for it coming soon!
