Comments
I'm actually quite pleased with how this workout went.

First of all: I GOT MY FIRST WALLBALL TO HIT THE MARK! THREE times!

Other items I am happy about:
I was able to use the 45# oly bar for most of my push press rounds, and i was able to use the medium height box jump box. I have a significant fear of trying to jump on them, so I was still just stepping, but the last time we did this exercise, I had to use the smallest box.

The air quality was still too bad for us to go on the bike ride we had planned to go on today (which was a major bummer), so we invited our friends to join us for today's CrossFit class instead (the thick silver lining to the bad air). They both did extremely well - and what a WOD to get introduced to CF with! I think they both really enjoyed the experience - if not so much while going through it, at least after having done it, they felt like they had really accomplished something.

We also saw WALL.E today. Definitely the most message laden movie Pixar has ever made. The character of WALL.E himself is just absolutely adorable. But the whole thing takes place in this sort of horrifying, entirely plausible future reality. It's all delivered in this cute, fuzzy package, but the implications are pretty d@mn stark.

It's gorgeously rendered, and a good story to boot - very much worth seeing in the theatre with the big picture, and the big sound, and the high definition.
