Hangover for Halloween (Workout or Booze?)
They just announced the workouts for CrossFit Central’s The Butcher Challenge I’m competing in on Saturday morning. Looks like Nature’s Garage Gem/Gym is good prep for most things, but a 1-rep max snatch? Sticks do not compare. Here are the workouts: WOD 1: Butcher push, pullups and bouldering: AMRAP 12 minutes. -Each team will be…

50 Burpees
Vimeo is stupid for not letting me embed on WordPress. Or WordPress is stupid. Not sure which, but stupid. Here are my 50 burpees for day 50. They sucked, I’m not going to lie. 50 Burpees … I’m Getting Stronger from lyssa myska allen on Vimeo.

Buck Furpees, and oh, there’s some foliage!
This 100 Day Challenge sometimes annoys the crap out of me. Like, I’ve already gone to yoga, played 2 hours of sand volleyball, and I have to do 37 burpees? Some days, it’s my saving grace. Like, it’s 10pm, I’ve been working since 9am with no break, and it’s the only thing I could possibly…

My First 14er / Day 7 of Burpee Challenge
I hiked my first 14er!! Mount Massive outside of Leadville, Colorado. At 14,400 feet, Mount Massive is Colorado’s second-tallest 14er. We took the steeper route, where we climbed 4,000 feet in 4 miles, but the first 1.5 miles were pretty flat, so it was more like 3,500 vertical feet in 2.5 miles. Which is tough.…
