Rachel Reports Life

I like how you can tell that this started out as a really normal, good run and then degenerated into absurdity (see: running in circles around Chinatown while dodging tourists and buses in like 8979348753-degree weather) for the last three or so miles. There was definitely a heat/Gatorade break around 4.5 and a Starbucks water stop at mile 7 that I may have died without, but it’s all good. 8 (8.5ish with the Crossfit warmup and running to Safeway) is done and that is all I care about.

Also, I’m telling myself that scoring 106 on my first Crossfit WOD is because of the 8 miles and not because I’m actually that incapable of doing box jumps/wall ball/burpees. It was a lot of fun, though, and hopefully I’ll be back once school is over. Too bad it’s so expensive or I’d join…

And then Maggie (WashPost co-worker/Crossfit addict) and I went to Chop’t for lunch AND THEY GAVE ME MATZAH WITH MY SALAD INSTEAD OF BREAD. I am so pleased. This is all my brain is capable of Tumbling at the moment.

Good/exhausting start to the day… now to somehow survive all 12 hours of Relay for Life tonight!
