good job on the runs, i was thinking i mighthave to take it up also this summer.
but that is only because they are going to put in a dairy queen about a mile from our house. and i know katt will only let me have a blizzard if i run down and back.

Thanks, Archie. But you know how it is. The numbers are never big enough.
I've been checking out Crossfit training (anyone who reads M&F knows why). I dig the fact that they post a workout each day for you to complete, sometimes for time, sometimes for reps. I might start to tinker with it a little.
Anyone tried it?

That sounds fair. We have a frozen custard place down the road about 2 miles. I think if I ran it I would be ok with eating the custard. No idea how I would get home, though
...get 2 custards/blizzards, and try to get home before it melts

Yeah...I've got a ways to go before I'm fasts enough for that.
Trying out the crossfit work today. Did the baseline test:
400 m run
40 bw squats
30 sit ups
20 push ups
10 pull ups
The idea is to time yourself for completion once a month to measure progress. My time was 9:18 (I'm happy just to be under 10 minutes.) My push up ROM wasn't the best, and I used max assist on the pull ups. (They recommend jump pull ups, but I didn't have a spot to do them. It was really crowded for some reason.)
So, plenty of room to improve. Since the HIT doesn't take that long, I plan to do the Crossfit WOD (workout of the day) to go with the lifting. SHould be interesting.

if that is a Ted Drewes, I'd advise running PAST it, PY!
Ted Drewes!!! Your killin me my Friend, LOL!!! That looks like a interesting combo Brother Pylon, I'll be watching closely!!!
I haven't, but there's one guy at the gym who has tried it. He actually enjoys it, the sicko.
People who get into it seem to really love it. It's brutal stuff from what I can see, but they are very big on scaling the work back to fit your level. I'm interested to see where it leads.
sounds interesting...I'll be following!
This sounds very cool indeed. I actually paid for a subscription to M&F but they havent sent me my 1st magazine yet
They took the money out of my account over 1 month ago 
I'm in too Py!
Gym day...
I was supposed to be lifting today for HD, but have decided to take the leap with crossfit. One of the comments I read was a guy who said his only goal was to finish each WOD (workout of the day), no matter how long it took. Some are for time, some are for load (like today). But I was very excited to see what the WOD would be, so I took that as a sign that I should give it a go.
WU (program standard) - 3 circuits
samson stretch (10 sec ea side)
OH squat (15lb) x 10 (supposed to use a broomstick, but couldn't find one, so I grabbed the lightest BB)
sit ups x 10
back ext x 10
pull up x 10
dips x 10 (the last 2 were on max assist, @110lbs)
Deadlifts
185 x 1
235 x 1
245 x 1
255 x 1
275 x 1
285 x 1
300 x 1 - PR (I think. I can't remember breaking 300 before)

That's what the WOD called for. 
It's the best way to test your 1RM.

Pylon,
Checked out your photos... come a long way. Good Job!
Thanks for the info on HIT / HIIT...!

Since you're working out in the morning, does this mean you now have morning WOD?
I prefer to think of it as blowing my WOD early...
Happy to help! It's a great way to compress a lot of working into a small timeframe.
Actually, I gave some of it back. Topped at 350 (in the pic), got down to 240, now at 278.
Hey dude! Workouts look really interesting, what program are you doing? One of your own?
Kudos on the progress btwwhats your overall goal?
Thanks, Gaz. I'm following the Crossfit workouts right now. I saw the article in M&F and it caught my eye. You can read about it at Welcome to CrossFit: Forging Elite Fitness.
Overall goal? Um....well, I guess getting back to 240 is the first one. I'd love to see 200 some day, but 220 might be more realistic.
the workout does look interesting....but it's only been one day....I'll be interested to see how an entire week looks
