Crossfit Halloween

Tonight we did our Crossfit Halloween WOD.  We were told that we had to come in costume or we would have to 50 burpees in front of everyone.  Needless to say, everyone dressed up.  Including me! It was hard to think of a costume at all, but especially a costume that you could work out in.  I decided to be Rosie the Riveter.
It was an easy costume to put together but I will say that the blue shirt didn't last long once the workout started, it was too hot!

We did a Devil workout - 666.  Six rounds of six reps of 6 exercises - AMRAP (as many reps as possible) in 20 minutes.  It was hard, really hard.  But I finished and I didn't die - so that's good. :)

Carrots!

This year we decided to grow carrots in our garden.  It was our first garden and I chose the multicolor carrots.  Today we dug them all out.

The orange ones are the best, so next year I think I'll just do those.  The other ones are pretty, but the white ones are a bit soggy and take forever to cook.  The dark purple ones are great, but they are not orange throughout as I thought they would be.  They are orange inside and if you peel them or scrub them too hard when you're cleaning them, the purple comes off.

All of the green tops filled our compost bin to the top!
