I started doing CrossFit in August of '04, thanks to some needling by Brand X Students (Jason and Ricky) and Jeff Martin. I've never looked back. If look at me and say, well, of course YOU can do it, you are a maniac, then that is the beauty of CrossFit at work. Start doing CrossFit and in 6 months time, YOU will be the YOU that YOU looked at in AWE and perhaps a little skepticism. Please sign my GuestBook

Clearly this is not optimal.
I have to be in office at 9am and reuired to stay til 6pm.
I don't have a good place to work out at home becuase my spaces have been appropriated by storage, and I can't stay in Ramona til the 830 Brand X class is over or it will 9:30 or later when I get to work. I can't get to bed earlier, and I won't wake up to go to BX at 0600 or 0630.
Also I won't give up coffee shop because I don't have an alternative social time anymore.
I could skip lunch to workout but that is difficult unless I go at a light time.
Maybe I will take my lunch at 2pm and workout. It's not as nice as being able to go to the gym at 530 (which was nixed by boss) and leave for home and be there by seven.

Tuesday, Box Steps and Push Press
At home…remind me never to use my iPod for timing a workout using lap meter at same time as using for music.
5 rounds
25 box step ups to bench
25 push press 55#
Hit the stop button instead of lap button at end of lap two and didn’t notice til end of round three it was stopped.
Total for rounds 1,2,4,5 12:04, so evenly completed at about 3 min per round so about 15 if you add 3 min for round 3.

Wednesday: An old couplet of my invention
21-15-9
Thrusters 65#
Push ups
The first time I did this couplet, it took me 20:39. The second time it took me 9:57 a year later, and todayit took me about8:30 but the time is an estimate because I stopped the timer before I realized I had 9 more push ups to do! CURSES!
I did the first 21 thrusters in 1:59. 16/5
21 push ups, 15 thrusters, 15 push ups, 9 thrusters in 6:44.
9 push ups done after the timer. grrrr.
I have to do it again now.

Monday - Thruster/HPC/SDHP
Complete as many rounds as possible 20 minutes of:
65 pound Thruster, 5 reps
65 pound Hang Powercleans, 7 reps
65 pound Sumo Deadlift High-pull, 10 reps
6 rounds + 5 thrusters (Exactly the same as last time)
At about 5 minutes in, some woman actually lay down with her head off the end of the bench press bench (the one you can’t move because it’s bolted to the floor) to do dumbbell exercises about 8 inches from where my bar was traveling from ground to chin 60 times during SDHP. I told her not to worry it would help me make sure I kept a very narrow path of bar travel.
Friday @ BX, Oct 2 - Run a Mile
Thruster singles, 85, 95, 105
Sprints
