Jen and the girls came in with the mutts.  Jen did the WOD above and the girls did another one I will list below.  I am pretty stiff today.  Back is not great but better than it has been all spring.  Last night my right elbow on the bottom toward the fore arm hurt from something yesterday.  I also forgot to post yesterday that some how I strained my neck during bench and I really did not bench that heavy nor hard.  These last few months have sucked.

Daniel and I kind of did the WOD as a partner WOD with him starting first and then me starting while he was farmer carrying.  My rest was 2:01 waiting for Danile on the Sledge.  Can't get much closer than that.  This one wore me slick on the slams.  50 reps a side is a bunch of swinging.

Long walk / Run Hills - 80 minutes

In Branson at the inlaws for bluegrass and BBQ.  Jen and I woke up about 6am and took the dogs out for a long walk and run.  I tried to run every up hill which in Branson is 50% of the time.  Some were easy to trot and others put the hurt on me.  Probably the most I have run in a long time.  We walked the flats and the down hills.  We were out for 1 hour and 20 minutes.  After the run/walk we went down to the lake and I jumped in.  The water is pretty cold but felt awesome.

Great morning with my wife and a great workout.

We went to SDC and I rode the new roller coaster Outlaw Run.  The coaster its self is freaking amazing.  The cars you sit in are horrible.  Probably the most uncomfortable I have ever been on a roller coaster.  The ride seems to be built for people about 5'6" or smaller.  There is a bar that smashes your shins the whole time.  All the guys my height came off the ride rubbing their shins.  Reason for concern here is that on the first turn and bump my back got jarred and I am feeling it tonight and all day.  As good as I was feeling this am I am pretty crappy tonight.  I have been hanging upside down and stretching as much as I can.  I am hoping for the best.

Sunday May 26th Driving T-Posts hanging fence and finishing the garden.

State Meet Swimming workout and a run

For time
5 rounds
50 meter swim
25 push-ups

Time - 10:23

Recovered about 10 minutes and went for a jog.  I ran up the road and found a side street that ended up a dead end.  The street had a huge down hill.  I ran to the top of the hill and then ran backward down the hill and then forward up the remaining hill to the dead end.  Short rest then backward down the hill and then ran up the hill going out and back to the hotel.

I think a good workout next year would be to run backward down that hill and run back up several times.  Should make for a good workout with a twist.  Have to remember this.

Also we forgot that we did two swimming wods last year.  The one we forgot was this: 5 rounds - 25 meter underwater swim, 50 body squats.  We did this May 26th 2012 in 8:51.

Finished up with 100 regular crunches and 200 bicycles.

Getting more and more sore.  Good to be back.

And So It Begins

I am in horrible shape.  One year ago to date I hurt my arm and it still is not better (at all).  This spring has been horrible for my back.  I have had roughly a month and a half off, almost 2 months.  I am ready to get started again.  It is May 24th 2013 state track meet.  Daniel and I got up early and did a WOD.  Here we go.

On the MINUTE
10 reps of 40 meter sprints up hill in parking lot next to the hotel.
2 min rest
50 Burpees

Walk 400 meters + of recovery.

Hope this is number one of many to come.  I need this again.

April 21st Tilled and planted one row of Potatoes

April 6th Worked in Garden

Tilled the garden for about 2 hours.  Pretty beat up.

1/30/13 Weighted walk

Met Daniel early.  We walked his road and property with weight vests on.  Covered roughly 4 miles.  I was only able to carry the 20lb sand bag about 800 meters probably a bit less.  Woke up this am 3/31 with my back hurting pretty bad.  Believe it or not sitting in the pews at church with my butt forward on the bench and my left leg up on the kneeling board.  I started feeling better.  Had a decent rest of the day.  I did take 2 alieve before church.

My total time on the watch was 34:33 but I did not time Daniels first round while I was moving.  He had us at 37:58 for total time of movement.

I did not start my watch until Daniel finished his round and I picked up the ball for Wall Slams.  We also were hitting our watches at different spots.  Daniel hit his when we got the sled turned and I hit mine when I reached to pick up the ball.  The walk from the sled to the Wall Slams was anywhere from 8 to 12 seconds. If you had a brisk walk.  Both of us jogged over.  I think I might have brisked walked round 4 and 5.  We should have discussed this before we started.  I hit it when I did so I could try and stay more consistant on my exact workout time.  This way I knew right where I should be starting each exercise.  This WOD was totally made up but just what we needed.  Nothing on here stressed our backs.  Amazing WOD.  No one exercise burnt you until you hit the "PROWLER SLED".  When you finished that it was all she wrote.  After round 3 I took my heart rate at 60 seconds and I was at 180 beats per minute plus.  I would guess 187 or so, I dang near had a 19th beat when I hit 6 seconds.  HOLY COW!  This was a mean burner.  I fought back puking after round 3 pretty much for the fact that puking would interupt my recovery.  I am typing this two and a half hours after we finished this and I am still feeling this wod.

Did not race between stations.  Had them a bit spread out.  Dead-lifts were slow going but little pain.  I was sweating by the end and had a burn.
Posting this the next day and something has inflamed my back.  I have not been feeling well and I am now in a lot of pain.  Not sure the issue.  The only thing I can figure is that I am back on my bike a bunch and I have bent my back in a bad position while riding.  I am very sore either way.

3/6/13 Bike

Fitness Challenge is on and today was the first day of AM practice.

Hit the bike ride pretty hard a bunch of laps at track loop and then when the kids went inside to stretch I looped the parking lot a bunch of times.

My guess is I biked 7 or 8 miles

PM I biked 3miles

Felt crazy tired and did not work out.  I got home and fell asleep at the dinner table after dinner.

I was super stoked with today.  The 155 x 50 times had me a bit nervous.  I felt like I hammered it pretty good.  Daniel and I had just been talking about hitting the push press as a solid thrust with a pop and finishing.  Crazy thing was I focused more on my form more and more as I went through this thing and the reps came more solid. Good lock of the arms at the top and knees locked with a solid thrust all the way through.  I had been sacrificing a bit of form for function in this lift going for speed.  

The AMRAP was awesome till round 9 then the wheels came off.  Tough one after that.  Funny the 50 push press seemed to be the same way.  My first 40 were tough but hitting the last 5 took a ton of focus.

3 minutes Burpees as many as possible.

30 - PC&J - 1:58 felt solid could have gone a bit faster but just wanted to keep a good pace.  UNBROKEN
50 - PS - 6:20 this one hacked me off.  I did two sets of ten to start and was not in a good rhythm.  For some reason I picked up the bar for the next set and felt great.  Still had to focus so I did not hurt my back but I strung 30 together.  I know I could have gone 6 flat or sub 6 if I had started like I finished.
BURPEES - 47 Sucked big time here.  I will say they were true chest to floor and full jumping jack over head.  Either way I just could not drop the hammer here.  47 stinks.  I did feel a bit better about how hard I was working.  My heart rate was 170 beats per minute at 60 seconds on the floor.

2/26/13 Bench Press, Push Press

Got another cortisone shot in my elbow/bicep brachiallis today.  So I had to skip several elements today.  I ended up pushing to hard on the push press anyway.

135 - 10 times
185 - 8 times
205 - 3 times
225 - 3 times
235 - 2 times
245 - 1 time but came off bench again not happy.  I have been working when we do bench which is not very often to keep a flat back usually with feet up.  I think I need to just back down and stop trying to go high when I am not ready.  A year or so ago when we put a little more time for a few months on bench press I was able to hit 245 up I think 2 times with a flat back but feet on the floor.

Push Press

2/25/13

First day of track!
The entire team was in the weight room doing a home grown Bayless WOD.  Kid were in groups of 8 with two different exercises per group.  4 on 1 exercise and 4 on another exercise.

The kids were paired up and one of the kids needed a partner for the harness pulls.
So I held and pulled.
8 pulls down and back 25 meters down and 25 meters back, and 8 holds same distance
Set up like a tabata 20 seconds on 10 seconds off.  10 seconds was the switch harness time.

Had a good burn by the end of these.

2/21/13 SNOW SHOVEL WOD

Neighbor is a Highway Patrolmen
He had to work the grave yard shift and coming into our street is rough.  I did not want him to get stuck at 4am coming home.  With even just the little traffic the street had seen we had about 1 and a half to 2 inches of packed ice.  Where there was gravel it was not to bad.  I had to use my floor scraper to get up the ice.  I shoveled steady for about an hour clearing about a lane and a half about 20 plus yards long so we can get in.  I had sweat rolling off me.  I skipped any other workout for the day after that.  My back was pretty sore.

This one had me pretty apprehensive.  Daniel came in and I am glad he did.  I was going to start with toes to bar.  Which was wrong.  I felt good the first 3 rounds then I started to fatigue.  The four rounds I did 4 I think I could have gotten a 5th but did not want to press getting to the toes to bar.  I was on the floor when I finished this one.  Exactly 15 minutes after I finished the WOD I puked.  Couple of reasons this was good and bad.  First the bad.  1. I was puking, 2. I ate at 5 guys burgers for lunch and I was tasting left over bacon cheese burger and Cajun fries.  The Good - 1. I had worked out hard enough that I was puking, 2 - I had eaten at 5 guys for lunch and was tasting bacon cheese burger and Cajun fries.

2/17/13 A mess

Did some Snatches at a light weight.

Deadlift just was not working.

WOD was supposed to be Deadlift and Handstand push-ups.

I dropped the weight from 295 to 225 hoping that would help.  I also was going to do shoulder strict press to sub for HSPU.

My back felt decent when I woke up.  But the lifts just did not feel right. 

I started the WOD and was actually dropping the hex cage so that I did not have the stress of lowering the bar.  My back shifted on rep number 12 and I was done.  I just can't figure it out.

Sucked it up big time on the Jump-rope.  KB Swings were unbroken.  Wanted to break at about 50 but I knew if I pushed I could get this unbroken.  By 80 I did not know if I could get it done.  The last 10 were miserable.  This effected my jumps but I was stoked I got them unbroken.  I struggled to even get the rope moving for about 30 seconds.  Did sets of 100 on the Rope.  I was worried about the SDLHP's and my a arms.  We shall see.  They still hurt but had recovered about 90% by the time I started.

Thrusters 115/65#
CTB chin ups Skipped these because I am a mess.  I got home and crashed.  Body just will not recover.  really not sure what is going on.  Biceps are hurting so bad I can hardly stand it.  I can't straighten my arms with out serious discomfort.
Rested 2 min between rounds.

Total time was - 13:06

I can't seem to recover.  Like I said above I got home after this and crashed.  Something is going on with my body.  Can't straighten my arms, muscles in my back hurt to the touch.  I hope this is just my February funk.  I have not really struggled with this the last few years. 

KB Swings, Sprints

12min on the minute perform
10 KB Swings - 2 Pood
60 yard sprint

I was averaging roughly 27 to 30 seconds per interval.  I screwed up my splits.  The only time I have felt good for the last 5 or so days is after workouts.  I hurt all over and I am not recovering.  I am eating pretty decent and I am back up to 196lbs.  My right arm bicep bracialis hurt almost the entire length of the muscle and my left arm is hurting now.  I am freaking falling appart.  I took most of the fall off and the arm did not get better so time off is not the key but something has to break.  Obviously I what I am doing is irritating the crap out of it.

Back Squat with chains, Power Clean, No Push-up Burpees

Back Squat 4 - 4 - 4 - 4- 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 with 2 min rest between sets
4 x 185, 4 x 195, 4 x 195, 4 x 200,  2 x 210, 2 x 210, 2 x 215, 2 x 215
Only went to 205 last time.  Just dumb luck today because I forgot to look.  Decent jump from last time on Februrary 11th.  Just read that the chains weigh roughly 40+ lbs at the top and 20 something at the bottom. So I guess the weights above would have 40lbs added.  Not sure if the guys did that or not.  So I guess 225, 235, 235, 240, 250, 250, 255, 255.  I would have to agree with the weight estimation here. I am taller than the other guys so when I stand all the way up after I take it off the rack at the start of my squat the chains are off the ground.  That still is not going to make a ton of difference in the weight though.  I would not think.  Have to ask the guys if they are adding the chain weight on when they post. 

Skipped Snatch running out of time and back not feeling good.

Back hurt during the squats. Wierd right hip stuff.  I wanted more weight but decided against it.  WOD was not bad but with out someone to race I gamed it to much.  My back has been hurting so much lately I just took it to easy.  I struggle with not doing a push up on the burpees.  Funny how patterned I have become.  I was to patient on the cleans and should and could have gone way faster.

The pull-ups ate my lunch.  I have not been able to do hardly any with my bicep being jacked up.  It has been hurting pretty good the last 2 weeks.  Just struggled here.  I also forgot how many jumpropes and had to stop after 75 and go check my phone which I had to unlock and then find the picture of the WOD.  DUMB!  Squats hammered me too with the pistols from the other day.  I don't think the traveling yesterday helped.  Jen's grandma passed this week so lots of stress for her and the family.  I should have been way faster at this one.  Have to take the good with the bad.  At least I got it in.  I had to miss this Friday for the above reasons and today was supposed to be off.

Have to be happy here.  Back has been a mess and I have not done this much for a long time.  However this was not a squat clean.  The workout called for Hang Clean.  I just can't do that with my back.  Motion jars to much.  Super happy.

Daniel and I came in early this am to get this one in.  We did not discuss it but both of us were in almost 30 minutes early than we planned to meet.  Aparaently we both have sore parts and wanted to get some movement before this.  Pretty solid day for both of us.  I was on the floor but up pretty quickly after.

This one was rough.  I am shot.  Not totaly exhausted but just a feeling of being drained.  Low back is sore from I would guess the Wheels.  Had a terrible head ache after this one.  I got it from the Plate Push, looking up as I pushed.  Wierd, I have no idea why but I could feel it while I was going.

Interesting workout today.  Have not done one like this before.  Snatch worries me so I just don't do it nor do I push very hard.  After the Deadlift AMRAP I was shot.  Cleaned up everything while resting from the first two rounds so I took the full 10 minutes.

I have been looking forward to this one for days.  I love these two exercises.  By the end I was on the floor.  I started timing Daniel about 5 minutes after I finished and my head was still foggy.  I screwed up twice in the first round for Daniel.  I had to finally write down when I needed to make his 5 seconds left call.  I was able to get my head clear by round two for him and did not screw up again.  Good to have days like this.  I love these partner ones.

Back Squat, Snatch, OPT - WEEK 3 DAY 3

A - Back Squat 2 - 2 - 1 - 1; Rest 2 minutes between sets (205, 225, 245, 255(fail))  I know I could have done 255 it has been probably 6 months since I have done heavy squats.  Probably more.  My back is still not healed.  I felt a twinge as I took 255 off the rack.  I told my self on the way down if it did not feel right just to ride it all the way down slowly to the safety bars.  It felt wierd so I did and stopped there.  No reason to screw up my streak.

B - Squat Snatch - 2 - 2 - 1 - 1; Rest 2 min.  The snatch kills my back so there is no way in heck I was going to do this one.  I just practiced with weight ranging from 45lbs to 95lbs with just the Power Snatch to prep for the WOD.

This took way to long.  I could not stand just walking around and wanted to get home.  I shortened the recovery.  I am guessing this one would still hurt but with about 1/2 the recovery my low quads just above the knees were on fire.  Plate pushes put it in your face and roll it around.  I could have gotten about 15 yards or a full length of the floor each round more but I just did not want to.  I was pretty tired by round 2.  Good WOD just too long in time. Frustrated with squat but I will live.

B. Split jerk; build to a tough single (135, 155, 165) WORTHLESS! I thought about more but at 175 I just rigged out.  With out anyone there I just had no fire on these.
C. Drop to 80% of B and perform 6 sets of 2; rest as needed bw sets (I did 135 for all sets.)  This was way to easy so I know I could have gone higher on the heavy.

My goal was to do 50 as fast as I could so I could compare with the guys, but I did this on one of the racks with the bar that spins. I did get in a rythm but with the bar spinning in my hand I was really having to work to stay in that rythm. I came off the bar after number 30. Jumped back on pretty quick and was so frustrated after firing off 3 I just quit.  I will try this again in a few days on a bar that does not move.

This one was way tougher than I had anticipated.  Daniel and I were both at 160bpm after 90seconds of completion.  I took heart rate at 60 seconds and was a 170.  I was a little torked I did not look at my watch to see how close we were to time.  I think I could have gotten to the push ups.  Again the box jumps hampered me.  I just can't cycle.  I actually recover on the box jumps which is stupid but this is just an aspect that I need to get used to.  Just bothers me trying to partner with Daniel and I know I can keep up with him on these kinds of WOD's.  Not much of a partner when I can't maintian the pace on somthing this simple.

I have missed the last 2 days because I have had the stomach flu all on the back end but man it tore me up and still is in there.  Not feeling great still.  I had a bout of the stuff after school before this WOD.  I could feel this coming on for several days before it hit.  Crazy stuff.

Could not find a max on this.  I can only guess that this is a PR.  I don't remember going over 55lbs but I might have.  75lbs was a lot of work I think I could have gone higher.  Better safe than sorry.  I just have not been feeling good lately.  Sore in the back and just exhausted all over.  I am hoping from just getting back into this.

Did this one late Sunday night.  Had to take puppies to Springfield for training classes.  My back has been a wierd kind of sore.  Not pain but just uncomfortable.  These KB swings were rough.  My Dumbells are the adjustable kind and go to 90lbs but are awkard and the plates wiggle a bit on the swings.  55lbs seemed a bit uncontrolable with these and were not smooth.  I got them done but worried about my back most of the time.  The Box jump burpees were interesting.  I struggled getting into box jump position coming off both feet.  Not to mention it was a kitchen chair.  I also just can't go any faster on box jump.  Having to step down so I don't jar my back takes for ever getting set.
I am exausted but man it feels good to be working out again and having Jen on board for the Crunches and Push-ups.  We are making each other do them every day.  Awesome.

My feet are very sore from yesterday.  Running on the tile floor in wrestling shoes hammered my feet.  So much so it feels like I have plantarfacitis.  I will need to be sure I have my toe shoes on as much as I can this weekend.  Might take tomorrow off a WOD and just wear the weight vest as much as possible.  It is still under repair but I can use it.  We shall see if I can remember.

I would also like to have a goal of some weight to KB swing every day not sure if I can pull this off.  I am saving up to buy a few KB's with the padding on them for the house so I can set them on the floor in the exercise room. 

Box Jump Max w/ Chain, Power Clean, Chest to Bar, 60 yard blasts

Had to work with my student teacher so I was a bit behind Daniel and did stuff out of order.

Started with the 12 min WOD of on the minute.
1 Rep 155lb Power clean - just kind of putting a weight on here.
5 Chest to Bar Pull-ups
Complete one set on the minute every minute for 12 minutes
Arm hurt pretty good on the pull-ups.

Went to math hall at High School for 60 meter blasts, every 30 seconds for 6 minutes = 12 total blasts
We for some reason had our selves convinced there was only going to be 11 of these and I was really hurting by number 8 so all I kept watching was when to go and realized we had a bunch more than we wanted.  I wore a pretty good blister on my left foot from trying to stay on my toes.  After number 6 I would go about 80% on one then 95 to 100% the next.  Worried about coming down on a heal and jarring my back.  Good partner WOD to keep you going.  Daniel and I are pretty close to the same speed so we are right on each other.  We both hit the deck after the last one on this one.

Good news for the night was the box jumps I started with a warm up of every box all the way up to the largest box.  I need to measure it but with my shoes I have it at roughly 39inches so who knows.  I can hit that box with no weight pretty easy.  But with a chain that is a different story.  I then put the chain doubled over through the belt.  I did the whole set again of 5 boxes with the chain.  I will have to ask Daniel if he remembers me getting the highest box with the chain but I nailed it with no problem tonight.  Stopped there on a high note.  I am repairing my weight vest.  I need to do a third set next time with that on as well.  I did that even after all the above.  I was pretty happy with the evening.  My back is sore now but I have hung inverted a few times. 

At home with Jen

Squat Cleans, Dead Lift, Box Jump, Toes to Bar

10 rounds of 2 reps Squat Clean @ 135lbs.  Rest 45 seconds between sets, let speed and form dictate load.  I used 135 lbs.  Prescribed was 50 - 70 % of 1 rep max.

WOD

3 x Dead Lift 275lbs used cage
5 x Box Jumps at 36inches

6 - 1:54
Finished number 6 at 9:46 and stopped.

I had to slow way down on the deadlifts I kept feeling a twinge in my low back.  I should have dropped weight but did not.  I can do 275 pretty easy but with my lack of fitness and strength I did not want to loose a decently heavy day.  So, I slowed down on these.  Also my box jumps suck.  Since I can't jump down with out hurting my back I just can not go any faster than I can step down get set and jump.  Still I liked the WOD.

Later in the evening in progression of New Years Resolution.
500 Crunches
100 Push-ups

Total for year
1000 Crunches

DEATH BY SIT-UPS

DEATH BY SITUPS (NEW PR) by 1 round - 31 Rounds and 496 Butterfly sit-ups.
1 sit-up the first minute, 2 the second, 3 the third, so on until you are unable to complete specified amount in 1 minute.
31 Rounds = 496 Butterfly Sit-ups, feet not anchored.
Pretty much exactly like last time.  The first 18 or so rounds are pretty smooth.  Around 22 rounds things got tough and it happens all at once.  Having a goal from last time really helped.  I did not have a ton of time after the 30th round (i think 10 seconds), but I was determined to get 31 rounds.  Finished 31 rounds and had 4 seconds left. 
1 minute after I finished I had to run to the bathroom for a session of puking.  This one got me for a few days last spring.  We shall see. Good to start off the new year with a WOD and a PR. 

A few years ago my new years resolution was to do crunches every day.  I hit over 101,000 crunches outside my cross fit work outs in a year.  My goal is to hit that again.  I also want to hit 100 push ups a day.  We shall see.

Later in the evening
500 Crunches
100 Push-ups

2/25/12

Death by Sit-Ups 30 Rounds = 466 Butterfly Sit-ups, feet not anchored. 1 sit-up the first minute, 2 the second, 3 the third, so on until you are unable to complete specified amount in 1 minute.
The Death by sit-ups was tougher than I had anticipated. Rounds 1 - 18 or so were no big deal then it got tougher and tougher. By round 22 I was beginning to wonder if I had enough steam to get to round 30 which was my goal. I got to round 30 and had 10 seconds before I was to start 31. I thought I could get it done but I was hurting. I got one rep at the minute marker and realized there was no way. I was toast.

Front Squat, 60 yard shuttle run

On the minute for 8 minutes
2 Front Squats (supposed to be body weight) I did 155 back is hurting and just getting back.
60 yard shuttle run, 30 yd down 30 yd back

This was really fun.  Daniel and I set my watch to chime every 30 seconds which is just about how long it took to complete a session.  As I was finishing my run Daniel started his squats so we were trading perfectly.  Great quick WOD with a bud.  Played it safe with the squats with my back and just getting started again.  I am also still pretty sore from Friday.  Not sure how other than trying to get out of my coveralls before the WOD and I pulled a muscle between my shoulder blades on the right side.  That sucks.

5 hours in the car today and 3 2 days ago.  My back is killing me.  The truck is falling appart and is making a tremendous noise.  I got home and had  crazy head ache.  The workout hammered me but I did get rid of the headache.  Man I was whooped I was having a hard time staying on my feet by round 3.  The climbs are rough.  I tore up my hand.  I am sitting here 2 hours after I finished and am having a hard time keeping my eyes open.

Did this around 10:30 on Thanksgiving night. The girls were watching Dirty Jobs and I was doing this. Jen was at Wal-mart fighting the crowds for some deals. Did this last year with Jennifer in Boo's basement. Her basement was loaded with cat hair. I remember being in pretty bad shape by the end. Did not get the abbs done that needs to change soon. Still suck at push-ups need to start doing those and abbs again nightly.

Total Time - 17:53 with the rest.

Finished with 500 crunches.  Slow and steady.

By the third round the bench was killing me.  My left hand is on fire holding the bar for bench.  Pretty sure it is broken.  Not to mention I am in terrible shape.  Dead Lift always takes it out of me if I try and rep even at low weight.

Arm is still jacked, even after the cortisone injection.  Going in for the PRP injection on Thursday.  For $500 a shot I can only hope this cures it.  I also crashed on my bike this weekend trying to exercise the dogs one at a time.  I dang near saved it when at the last second I went over the handle bars and caught my self on my hands.  I am pretty sure I broke my left thumb down by the wrist.  Probably just a chip or small fracture there is a deep bruise and feels like every other broken finger I have had.  My left shoulder is pretty jacked and sore from jamming it when my hands hit.  My guess is that I am going to have to have my left shoulder re-done and cleaned out within the next year.  I was told about 9 years ago that it will go at some point.

12/16/12 Biked with Dogs (Sunday before Steal your Dollar City)

4 miles with each dog Went toward Francka Bridge.

So a total of a 8 mile ride for the morning.

Crashed with Missy.  She stopped and the bike jumped around.  I thought I was going to save it till the very last second when she got in front of me.  I hit hard and I am pretty sure I broke my left thumb at the wrist.  I popped my shoulder pretty good when my hands hit jamming it.

I am as out of shape as I have been in the last 3 years.  Got to snap out of this.  To much to do and not enough hours in the day.  Being injured does not help.  Arm is still jacked.  I got a steroid shot Monday and it still seems to not be working.  Got bill for MRI today for this bicep stuff.  Holy cow not sure what we are paying the insurance company for.  They paid roughly 35%.  Worthless.

Broke down and set up new dog fence

Pulled up and re-drove roughly 50 fence posts today.  Re-strung the dog fence.  I am worn out.  Good workout swinging that post-driver.  Took 5 hours to finish the fence.

It has been 25 days since I last worked out.  I promised myself I would not let this happen and it did.  Just had my priorities on Coaching, and wife and kids, in the in the right place but just could not find time to get a WOD in.  Hopefully I can get that changed.  We shall see.  Things have been pretty stressful lately.  Trying to coach my kids to an amazing season, stress at work, Doing CPR to Nurse Kristy and wondering if she was going to make it and just life in general has me worn slick.  From the Nurse Kristy incident on the 16th of this month I have lost 10 lbs.  I was down to 185lbs last Thursday.  This is not the kind of weight loss I am needing.  Not getting to workout with Daniel or see Clayton or Ben in the weight room for fellowship even for a few minutes is wearing me thin.  Time to get things together.  State is this weekend, I pray for the best for my kiddos and to get things back in balance.  I turn 40 in December.  I vowed to be at 178lbs by then with working out.  Don't think I can do that in a healthy way but I will get as close as possible.  My back has been back to hurting with out regular workouts.  Time to get right.
