About Me

My photo
43yo father of two. Type A, loves to plan, make "todo" lists, and stack things. My heart is on my sleeve. Both sleeves actually. I'm an open book. I favor symmetry. I can't be late for anything. I hate talking politics and religion. I watched the movie “Jaws” when I was much too young (and yes, it still haunts me). I could leap tall buildings in a single bound had I only done more squats and plyometrics as a teen.(Crossfit has me believing that I will one day). For 21 years I hid my mini-battles with OCD, the weirdest obsession revolving around the number “8”, all of which abruptly ended the night of October 27th, 2004. I've never tried an illegal drug, or cigarettes for that matter. People laugh at this, then call me a liar, but it's true. I say "Happy Holidays", not "Merry Christmas". It's the PCness in me I suppose. I leave out the word "God" when I say the Pledge of Allegiance and have so since the 10th grade. I think it has something to do with Separation of Church and State. I prefer sleeping with a night-light. So what? I have one addiction. No wait, two. Actually, three. Ice cream, Crossfit, and triathlon. Yeah, I know, these don't really work together too well.

Had to cut one set off due to time.  Crossfit was cancelled due to coach having an illness and the fill-in trainer could not gain access to the building.  I was going to do this w/o this afternoon since this is my short day at work (out at 1pm), but now that my ride is out of the way, I may try to get on a treadmill this afternoon for a quick hard run.

1/18/13
Crossfit Reclamation - 5:30am - 1hr

Split Jerks 1x1x1x1x1 to find our Max.  Mine was 155#.  I failed at 165#.
We then were given the remainder of our hour to work on our specific goals that we had established 7 weeks ago.  I worked on my handstand and double unders.  Neither went well.  I'm struggling to find the appropriate rhythm needed for the double unders, and my shoulders took a beating this week, so I was not able to hold my handstands.  I did spend about 12-15min on mobility/stretching at the end.

No workouts 1/19 & 1/20
