Off topic - Go buy Dan's book.

Some of you know a fellow longtime CrossFitter, Dan Silver of TheArtofDanSilver infamy (mostly Work safe…If you aren’t familiar with him, go read his stuff, it’s funny stuff.)

Well, at long last his first novel has been published in Kindle format and is available on Amazon. Cop - A Novel

It’s a great story, about a tattooed, ex-punk rocker who applies for and is admitted to the San Francisco Police Academy. It’s based largely on Dan’s actual experiences. For 5.95 you can’t beat the cost, and it is readable on Kindle as well as iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, Blackberry and PC kindle apps. I believe a Droid app is in the works.

If you download it drop me a line or comment! You won’t be disappointed, because it is funny, tragic, suspenseful, sarcastic and a very good read.

Thursday 50 Push ups - 3:27

Previous: 50 push ups 4:16

Rip McGhee.


We have too many heroes lost and not enough workout days to commemorate them. I think it’s fitting to always think of the men and women in service, whether military or peace officers and public safety, as we do our workouts. A bit of motivation to throw a little of our sweat and maybe a drop of blood on the floor in their honor.

Apologize for crossposting. And for those not familiar with CrossFit, "Headquarters" aka Greg and Lauren Glassman, dedicates a handful of named workouts a year to those who sacrifice their lives during sworn service.

Today's Workout of the Day is in Honor of another serviceman.

This was his fourth deployment, his first to Iraq. Ryan was engaged to Ashleigh Mitchell of Fredericksburg, VA. He is survived by his father Steven McGhee of Myrtle Beach S.C., his mother Sherrie Battle McGhee, and his brother Zachary.

Grace @ home.

Did the Diablo CrossFit Saturday WOD : Grace.




My bar at home is brutal on the thumb skin, when you do the hook grip. I was slower also due to having to lower each rep. I could have gone faster. 9:22. My form was not great either. I think I got better as the workout went on.

Tuesday, finally did some running.

A little ramble….

I had jury duty today. I woke up at 0530 and cooked two eggs and ate them. In the car on the way to court, I ate a sliced orance and drank black coffee.

I took with me 2 boiled eggs, sliced oranges and a nut bar (almonds, peanuts and sunflower seeds mainly, 6g sugar) oh and an apple.
at 0900 I ate one egg and half an orange. Then I got a triple espresso at the coffee cart.
At Noon I went to the mall and got a soft corn shell taco - steak with an avocado slice and salsa. I forgot to have them leave off the cheese. Iced tea.
At 1530 I ate two beef kabobs at Daphnes with salad.
at 1600 I got to my friend’s house where she gave me clothing I never even thought i’d fit into.
At 1730 I drove home and got there at 1800. Bradley wanted to get points on his poke-walker so he asked me to walk up the the school, about .8 miles up hill, so I ran it with about three brief stops to let him catch up (riding bike up hill, harder than running). Finished around 10 minutes with no timer. Did some awkward KTE and pull ups on the monkey bars and that dome monkey climby thing. Did some handstands in the grass. Ran back home, downhill in 7:54
At 20:00 I ate two baked chicken thighs, coated with I’m sure some flour based seasoning that tastes delicious. I owe myself an orange or an apple

I feel great. That is all.

Thanks for listening.

PS I know, I know I didn’t eat any veggies. Salad and salsa don’t count. Tomorrow I’ll eat green stuff.
