Crossfit

You know, at some point I will catch up and talk about Hawaii, post photos (including those from 14.1), etc. But right now it’s time to discuss my feelings about 14.2. Crossfit Open 14.2 involves Overhead Squats and Chest-To-Bar pullups. It doesn’t mat …

You know, I actually know myself pretty well – having been with myself 50+ years now. And when you know yourself, it’s best to LISTEN to yourself. I have joined the “Crossfit Community,” now about 5 months ago. Seems amazing it can be that long, since …

So, as all you (non-existent LOL) readers know, I started at my Crossfit box via a Groupon. Well – kind of. I had tried Crossfit out before heading off to my final marathon of the season last year (in Vienna in May), but HATED the way I was treated (at …

SO last night Moddie and I went to a fire dance “training class” at Temple of Poi in San Francisco. It was pretty hilarious. Basically you’re twirling around these weighted bags, “practicing” moves. (We didn’t use fire – God forbid! – if you do that yo …

Crossfit workout today was “Death @ 50.” 50 each of: Ring Row, Box Jump, Toes-To-Bar, kettle bell swing (I did yellow), Lunge Step, Dumbbell Push Press (I did the swirly bar), Deadlift (I did 20k – I was going to do 30k but with this my 3rd day in a ro …

You know, sometimes I think that Bo (our programming director) is just evil. Here is the regular WOD, and the Conditioning WOD, for today: WOD = “OGAR” 14 Min AMRAP 3 Snatch 61/43KG 1 Muscle Up 12 Wall Ball Scaled 14 Min AMRAP 12 KBS 1.5/1P 5 Pull Up 1 …

Moddie and I watched the Diana Nyad documentary “The Other Shore” together last night. ARE YOU KIDDING ME – ?!?!?!?!?! WHAT a story! I knew about it “in 2 dimensions” – the aborted tries, the storm, the jellyfish, the training, but – Wow. I didn’t know …
