New Year = New Goals

I finally took time to write down all of my goals for 2011 involving my training, so here they are:
  • Do a half marathon: I am currently training for the half marathon that will be held in Nashville with some of my Crossfit Thunder family.  I'll post runs at least one time per week.
  • Do dead hang pull-ups and consistently do pull-ups rx'd in all workouts: I can currently do kipping pull-ups, however, this is not a great skill so I need to take time and work on it.
  • Do unassisted ring dips in workouts: Currently I am able to go down in the ring dip but I do not have enough strength to push myself up.  Due to my wrist and pending ortho appointment I will have to begin working on this once I have been cleared.
  • Do handstand push-ups in workouts: I currently do these modified either with bands or on a box.
  • Do a muscle-up: The ultimate gymnastics movement in Crossfit.  To do this movement I have to get my ring dips.
  • Increase deadlift to 300lbs: Current deadlift is 220lbs.
  • Increase back squat to 200lbs: Current back squat is 165lbs.
  • Increase clean and power clean to 140lbs: Current clean is 95lbs and power clean is 100lbs.
  • Increase push press to 140lbs: Current push press is 110lbs.
  • Improve olympic lifting technique: By improving overall technique my times on WODS will be better and my ability to lift heavy weight will increase.
  • Improve 5K time to under 26 minutes: Current PR on 5K 27:55
  • Do at least one Crossfit Endurance workout per week.
  • Get my Level I Crossfit Certification.
