What’s essential will be to go forward with ardor and astuteness.

Indeed.

Fight Gone Bad Friday!

Today's CrossFit EastSide workout for me:
Championship Fight Gone Bad (FGB) slightly modified

5 Rounds, 1 minute of rest after each round (after Highpulls for me)

1 Minute Box Jumps
1 Minute Push Presses (20Kilo)
1 Minute Row
1 Minute Wall Ball
1 Minute Sumo Deadlift Highpull

Total Score: 385
I was pretty consistent across all rounds, with 20ish on the box jumps, between 16-13 on push presses, 10cal on rower, 20 Wall Balls, and maybe 15 or 16 on the highpulls. At the very least I remember tripping on one of my box jump sets, having a tough time on some wall ball rounds, and def lost a few on the last round of push presses.

Either way, super hard workout, done while on-fast with a bit of a head cold. I FINISHED – so I’m happy!

Mostly "Michael"

Today’s 8am CF workout - slightly modified Michael. I did hip extensions in place of back extensions as my back strength isn’t quite back to normal yet.

800M Run

50 Hip Extensions

50 Situps

3 Rounds for time. My time: 29:10 or some such. NOT my best. heck, I did this is 28something back in August. BUT I had the little burner last night and not a lot of sleep last night so all things considered I feel *all right* about it. I did all the situps unbroken so that’s something. Can’t wait to revisit this one when I’m a bit better rested and really blow it out.

Nice Little Burner

Last night's CFES 5:30 class workout:

400M row

21 Box Jumps

21 Burpees

30 Med Ball Cleans (10@10lb, 20@16lb for me)

30 Pullups (band)

21 Push Press (25lb)

400M row

600M run

Time: 20:10

Overall I feel pretty good about this. I spend a minute or so walking around, getting the right med ball, and was pretty slow on the push presses. Rock star encouragement from Jennifer Oldmann of Redmond Fire, and super nice sprint to the finish with Melody. Thanks Jen & Melody!

Rumi

some Rumi that's speaking to me today...

Today, like every other day, we wake up empty
and frightened. Don’t open the door to the study
and begin reading. Take down a musical instrument.

Let the beauty we love be what we do
there are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.

At some point in the past I finished one book before starting another. As evidenced by this - my 'in progress' book heap - that's not the current state of things. Perhaps posting this will guilt me into comppleting at least *one* of them.
