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.

Oh boy this one hurt.  I really took it steady and smooth on the work out.  Legs are still pretty sore the next day.  Not as bad as I have been over the last few weeks but pretty sore.  I did not adapt this one at all.  I was happy I did not adapt.  With this is the first string of three workouts I have done together since August.  Hopefully I can keep this string going.  That will be 2 months earlier than last year.

Still getting back into the routine again.  Snatches kill my back and the back has been very sore for some reason.  I dropped down from 55lbs to 25 just to get through this one.  Good news was the pull-ups were flowing.

Had to do this later than planned.  Corey had a kid get stuck about 20 plus miles out of town and had to drive out there.  Got the girls back and cleaned up for Emilys concert tonight.  Her line went awesome!  Dad was proud.  Ended up going about 7:50 on this.  Went pretty smooth considering how I feel.  My jaw is jacked my entire body is hurting from Tuesday.  Still felt like I cranked on the dead lifts even taking it moderatly easy.  The runs surprized me.  I stayed on my toes and did not push super hard but ran and touched each wall for the down and backs.  Happy with todays effort.  Had the heart pumping for only being on for 2:49.  Thanks for the WOD Daniel it was just what I needed.

Today was quite possibly one of the worst WOD's I have done in a long time.  Failure was eminent in all exercises.  Form was terrible.  I am not kidding when I say that my form and level of failure was equivalent to when I first started Crossfit.  During the second or third round of sit ups I was dry heaving.  Daniel was yelling keep it down and keep going.  Thanks brother.  I did but man it sucked.  Last year it took till January to be in the gym every day.  For 8 months I was dedicated.  Probably the longest and most consistent string of weight training I have ever had and I was in good shape.  I hope I can keep this going from now on.

Dad came in and counted this one for me. Thanks Dad. I was stupid on the pull-ups and learned my lesson. I think I held back to much on the body squats. The sit-ups were all I could do, but were unbroken, and the push-ups were to pretty much to failure every time with short rests breaking them up. This one was tough. great work out though. I feel good about it since it is my first time on this one. My right shoulder is still killing me. It just throbs. Right bicep is really sore and tight at the attachment in the elbow too, after this one.

Daniel got me in today.  Great to see him and to get a WOD in with him.  These are good ones to do together.  We are pretty even on these exercises so we were together the whole time.  He pulled away as he usually does in the last two rounds.  His training has been very consistant the last two months.  As mine has not.  I felt good on this one but boy I can tell I am out of shape again.  My legs are my weak point and were shaking by round two in the SDLHP's.  I am sure my upper body is in just as bad of shape just have not tested it as much yet.  He has and will be spending a lot of time in KC with Carver.  So these times will be slim over the next few months but good to be together when we can.  Prayers out to the little man.  Hang tough C-MAN!

Tire Slams, towel pullups

6 rounds for time:

20 Right Side Tire Slams
20 Left Side Tire Slams

Again wow I am out of shape.  Yesterdays workout killed my legs I can hardly walk.  Either way I did get one more WOD in this month compared to this time last year.

4 - 3:55.60
Total Time - 9:24.50

Holy cow I am in bad shape.  The first two rounds I felt fine.  Really did not feel like I was pushing that hard.  Round 3 I fell off a cliff.  During the wall ball my legs were actually shaking from fatigue wierd.  The pullups were tough but not bad.  By round 4 I was really falling appart.  Got through the wall ball and I could not even get the energy to jump up on the bar.  I did all rounds unbroken but what a mess.  Two good things about today were, 1 - I got a workout in, 2 - I tied last year number of workouts in October.  Daniel called me with a decent one with one of my favorite activities (tire slams).  6 rounds 20 rt and 20 left slams and 10 pullups with a towel alternating which hand is up each round.  If I get this one in tomorrow I will beat my total number of WOD's from last year in October.

Total Time: 15:54.98

Daniel called again last night and got me in today.  I was probably coming in anyway because the ladies were out on a 20 mile run and my job was to get Ice Bath ready.  We paced our selves pretty well.  I struggled just because it has been such an inconsistant last 2 months.  I have to try and get at least 2 WOD's in this week to be at least where I was last year.  Squat cleans went pretty well. My legs are sore.  Went A to G for every rep.  Threw bar into my throat on round 3 or 4 and had to go get trash can because I was dry heaving.  Not a big deal did not loose much time at all.  KB's rocked as usual.  Thanks again Daniel.

I totally sissyed out today.  I have not worked out in I think almost 2 weeks.  This WOD was supposed to start at 21 and drop by three each round.  I was not man enough to even try today.  I also went slow as molasses.  Not very happy but I got it in at least.  Last year I only did 5 WOD's in October and I promised myself I would get more than that this year.  I am not on a great path.  Good news though.  I am so rested that 2 weeks ago my just sitting around heart rate was 48.  Has not been that low in a long time.  I can only guess my resting is a few beats lower than that.

Made this one up for the kids and I figured I would do it since I had not worked out since Sunday.  I did more reps and weight of each exercise but I still new it would be done fast.  I am glad I got one in.  Legs are a bit sore today.  Not sure what part, did not think I did enough body squats to matter.   Jen and Vicki ran 18 miles Friday night and both were in bad shape when they got back.  I wanted to have this done before they got in.  Good thing I did they were both hurting.

Forgot to tape my leg and tore the crap out of it.  Had to change the way I decended the rope and still tore it up.  I finished 9 rounds with I think 25 seconds to spare.  I just panzied out on this one.  I could have hit 10 rounds if I had taped, been motivated and pushed at the end.  Kind of frustrated with today.  At least I was in there.  Thanks again Daniel for getting me in this morning.

20 Body Squats

I have missed I think 5 days or so.  I can't believe this is already happening.  Not good.  I need to really get it together and get these in each day.  Hopefully I can get back into things.  Just threw this one together today to get upper and lower body some work.  First and second round were ok and then I just started to fall appart.  I have been sick as a dog this week and my back still is not right from hurting it last week picking up the T-Posts.  I was thinking yesterday that a year ago I had a pretty solid pr in Fight Gone Bad.  I know I am in better shape now but it still frustrates me to miss days.  Daniel has been trying to get me back in the weight room we have just been to busy.  Thanks for the peer pressure brother you helped me get this one in tonight .
