World Record Holder

You are reading the blog of a world record holder. Today, just this morning, I set a new world record. I said the "F" word to more people on the road than anyone EVER! Usually... F#@KING DRIVE, or the now famous, FU%*ING MOVE! I really hate the way people drive, look, talk, breathe... well you get the picture. One more issue I have this morning. I was in 7 eleven, getting coffee and gum, when I noticed the really, really fat kid (about 6) crying to his mother that he really wanted breakfast. He was obviously dressed for school, and apparently really hungry. Then his fat mother proceeded to buy him... one hot piece of 7/11 pizza, 6 bbq chicken wings, 1 taquito, and the biggest fucking twinkie, brownie, snoball thing I have ever seen. Literally the size of a basketball. I actually laughed out loud. WTF!!!!!!
So I am back blogging. By very unpopular demand I might add. Since I tore my pec I have not blogged, I barely worked out, I did eat junk food, I did drink beer, I did do a lot of nothing, and most of all, I did gain 10 pounds... AWESOME!! Now that I can work out hard. well I can run, row, deadlift, squat, boxjumps, and situps. Still limited, but at least I can add intensity. my diet has been clean this week. A few beers the other night, but really clean. I feel great... except the arm... and have shed a few pounds this week. So for honesty, and the new bloggers I will be posting regularly. I have some really good recipes for the newbies I will post soon.

See ya later

Back but not for long

OK so I missed out on all of the fun this past weekend. I wish I was around, I certainly enjoy goodtimes with great people. Even if we did lose one (sorry I missed you Mariel) Good luck have fun and visit soon. I know I could have placed high in the sport drinking events on Sat. even though I am too old to sport drink. Happy b-lated Stuntman, I owe you a drink. I spent six great days in the Keys doing a good bit of drinking myself. Along with a good bit of diving and fishing. No internet in the house we have and very sketchy cell service. A terrible thing is about to occur, I have to go back for another week. I know it is terrible. Well I had to come back to work for a day. I think I am only working 4 days this month. The rest being spent well, maybe I shouldn't say it, or the working lynch mob will come after me. Hey, it's my vacation time and I earned it. Well I will update you next week when I come home for a couple days, then back down til the end of the month, and I promise there will be pics, and stories. I will being doing some sort of wods to stay somewhat on track. hahahaha. See ya all

Did I turn 60 today?

I have to say that this is the first time since CF, or CFFB that I feel whipped. My body is beat up, even my bones are sore. I might have a little of the problem coach is having. I don't know if I have enough protien blocks for a proper recovery. I was a little slim on the carb blocks this week, maybe that was it. All that does not matter though, because yesterday on the CFFB "total" I pr'd 3 of my four lifts. All by at least 15 pounds. Wow! I know this stuff works. I am at work today and am trying to take it easy. Will try to the rest of the weekend. Everyone have a good weekend!

Wednesday

Down in a Hole

OK, so most of my day was spent in a hole. Actually a pipe. It was 24" in diameter, 12 feet underground and 85 feet long. Yea, not my favorite place. There is the thick wet sticky mud, and then there is the spiders. Yep, you heard me right. Big, thick, black, juicy spiders. All of this was in the name of "confined space" training. That was my day at work, hope everyone had a better day! Did I mention how sore I am today? Yes the lifting has made me sore, but the DAMN 110m sprints yesterday killed me. 16 110m sprints with 45 sec. rest in between. All under 18sec. or you get a 10 burpee penalty for each. I am built for comfort, not speed!!! OUCH! I really would have liked full use of my hamstrings in that hole today.... Thanks CFFB. See all soon.

Thursday

Back to reality

OK, i had 5 days in Siesta Key, that was awesome. Much needed due to the stress before we left. So we get back from an incredible and relaxing weekend, and the drama starts right up to wipe the weekend away. Does anybody want to buy a hair salon? Too much junk food and beer during the relaxing weekend. I have gottne to the point that I am over the bad eating, because it really does make me feel bad when I do it. So I thought why even do it??!! Feel good this week as far as wods go. The FB wods are tough this week. I did pr my front squat today at 235 for 3 reps. Makes me happy. Check out my Siesta Key pics on facebook. See ya. Off to a funeral tonight. JB

Push in Practice

I read a great post from Adrian Bozman. It deals with gaming your wod. I will put the link in and hope you read it. It has a good point that I think some of us do. Holding back in our weak areas to save energy for the stronger areas. This is ok in a competition to beat someone, but it does not make you stronger at your weakness, when you should be getting stronger (practice).http://sanfranciscocrossfit.blogspot.com/2009/05/quality.html Finding your weakness and working on it is how you get results. Mine is blogging on a regular basis. Will work on it.
