Work gets in the way of life all the time, and when you have to work an 8 hour day, coach a 3 hour class and then go back to work for another 5 hours without so much as a nap break then work affects your workouts too. I am lazy, I admit it. But […]

R7D53- Rest. Crossfit Games Are Here!
Finally took a rest day since I was completely exhausted after work. Taking some time to take in the Crossfit games today, go to games.crossfit.com and check out the live feed. It’s weird to see these people swimming, but I think it’s a great addition to the skill set testing after all, a true mega […]
R5D52/3 – Heavy Day and Coffee… And Other Rambling Tangents…
Sunday I did heavy day, including more with the 70lb KB. I took Monday off since it was the Mock Meet for my gymnasts and I was short on time. This week I have to try to stick to the schedule, adding an extra day off is messing me up. I am a little torn […]

R4 D50 – Rest Week Part II
Since I am not strictly sticking to the 6 days on 1 off routine of P90X or Insanity, I am thinking that a whole week of rest is going to be a little excessive. So since a change is as good as a rest I am thinking that 4 days should suffice and of those […]
