Good news.
I finally got hold of this quirky dude that I'm supposed to riding out to Colorado with for the holiday... I have been cramming tons of stairs and run/hikes in this week I went nutz at the end of last week with the hiking after work. and pushed it too far- too fast after my surgery... Ended up getting a little dehydrated- mixed with the wrong food last Sunday and puked for about 7hrs straight on Monday. Worked out weakly tuesday, but it wasn't how I wanted to start the week especially with a somewhat ambitious climbing trip coming on this quickly. So i'll be gone till next week! I'll post whatever snapshots I get from the mountains. Hope Katrina II doesn't hit up there ![]() Have Problems?...

LAST WORKOUT BEFORE GC DEATH MARCH
Got home from work late and couldn't run to the tower road like I wanted... I did this loop from the park near home... It's about 5.25miles total and has a crux elevation gain of about 450ft, then a drop, then another 250ft climb. (so, say 700ft total in under 3/4mile) Google Maps Have Problems?...

Still went to the gym today... And after the surgery, my goal will be to bulk back up a bit, as I wont be able to run or hike (get dirty)... I may even retro-post my WO's in my journal, and of course post the recovery journal stuff! thanks for stopping in! ![]() Have Problems?...

Its trult hard to be working out above the KEFE level with a partially torn Bicep...
I want to be a serious part of the group here, but feel myself failing as of late... My will to expand my lungs and be strong cardiovascularly often superceceds my bodys ability to perform it seems gosh how I wish I was 29 again ( under the toutalage of Pfunk) I was a... just "gut" "balls" strong powelifter and a "work through the pain" Weightlifther. Add those to lat years MMA training, tire flipping, ETC it all = badass... But now I feel like a wusssified sissiynanny. Have Problems?...

I'll cook most every BB on this site! I run 5-6miles in the local hills dodging rattlesnakes and heat exhaustion. When was the last time you ran 6 miles with an 1100ft climb and some fist sized loose rock thrown into the trail just for fun? I wish I could still do 300WO's and tire flips and splay drills. but i'm a'skeered to do fast move stuff. (Plus i've been hashing) ![]() Have Problems?...

Arm "seems" to be getting stronger...
Although I took a nice slam, this weekend, promptly fracturing the middle toe on my left foot... My plan: Go on an involuntary bulk until I can run again!
