Where are ya PY?????
Hey all -
Just got back from our Chicago trip. Had a great time, but came home to find the storms broke one of our trees in half. It missed the house by a foot or two, but did manage to rip the electric box off the house.
The power is still on for the most part, but there are a couple of loose wires outside (according to the Ameren guy). So we have to find an electrician to come out and put it back together. The only things not working are the kitchen, dining room and basement lights. Oh, and the furnace. So it was @ 60 in the house last night. The wife stayed with her parents with the boys, I stayed at the house. (After four days in a hotel, I was ready for some alone time anyway.)
So after eating like a pig all weekend, I'm ready to get back in a stable routine again. So far today all is well.
Hope everyone is doing great. I'm adding a pic that was taken of me and Mickey by a random stranger in the park (who was then kind enough to ask for my email address and send it to me).

what an awsome pic!! how cold was it when ya'll went?
good to see ya back, py!
Glad your back my Friend, awesome pic too!!!
Thanks all!
Kept it clean yesterday. Even got in some lumberjack time on the tree in my yard.
So on to today...which is all that matters, right?
Diet - clean
Gym - Sprint training - 90 meter sprints/walk back x 10
Why 90? The track at the Y is 18 laps/mile, which is 90 meters. I figured that was good enough for me.
Glad to get through them. Was really gassed by the end, which is kind of sad, really. But hey, got my work in!

This is the site I've been using for the workouts. (Today was a rest day, hence the sprints.) I love the video lists for explaining some of the moves. Gold, even if you aren't doing crossfit.

Nice pic Py.... Wow, you know I just got a look at your updated photos... you sure have made amazing progress!!! Way to go!!

I've got a pretty good stash of jerseys, mostly from my days of traveling to Edmonton when the exchange rate was very favorable. I have 3 Blues (home, away, and the old blue and red home), Oilers (3rd), Leafs home, Habs away, Nordiques home, one from Kiev, Sabers home (the black with the giant bull's head on the front), and the Team Canada in the pic. That one is my favorite, to be sure.
The only one with a name on it is the Sabers. I couldn't resist have SATAN put on it.
WOD - Deadlift singles
WU - bike, 5 min
WU - DL - 45x10
185 x 1
235 x 1
275 x 1
295 x 1
315 x 1 PR
335 x 1 PR
350 x 1 PR
Previous best was 305. I chalk this up to getting more comfortable and confident on the lift, but they all went up pretty darn easy except the last one. Had a little struggle locking out, but got it.

That's quite a PR. 45 lbs! 
Keep that up and you'll be doing 4 plates in no time.
AWESOME PR Brother Pylon!!! Great job my Friend!!!
That is a GREAT PR Py...what an increase 
Thanks all. My shoulder is a bit stiff today (as a result of the deads, I'm sure), but overall feel pretty good.
I left my desk with no intention of going to the gym today. I tried telling myself I would workout tonight (but Lost is on) or when I get home (except I have to fix dinner and take the boy to t-ball) or that I deserve a day off (sore legs, stiff shoulder). After all that, I found myself pulling into the gym anyway. So that's a good sign, huh?
WOD - Nancy (yes, they give some of them names, mostly after women)
20 minutes of circuits
5 push ups
10 pull ups (mine were jumping pull ups instead of assisted)
15 prisoner squats
Got through 6 circuits plus a couple of extra push ups, but was out of steam by that point.
I like jumping pull ups a lot. I try to jump as soon as my feet hit the floor. (To give you an idea, I was using the smith machine as the pull up bar.) It just adds a little plyometric boost to it, while still using the same muscle groups.

Dude, I am totally going to get one! The blue one, specifically. It is one of the best looking jerseys to come out in a long time!
Thats a Great sign of Dedication my Friend!!! Enjoy life to the fullest Brother Pylon!!!
hmmmm...I like that circuit Py...*making mental note to try*
Couple days off to recoup. Still pretty stiff from Thursday.
BTW, picked up the Moosewood low fat cookbook over the weekend. Good stuff. Made a veggie lasagna tonight that is really tasty. Even the 5 yr old liked it!

hey py, why dont you come to jamaica with us and be our private chef?????
i will probably be tired of lobster after the 4th or 5th day, im thinking.
and you can only drink so many of your meals, right? i might make it for a day or two just eating the fruit in my drinks, but that will get old.

No, haven't thought much more about it. But I will. I promise. (Even if it is just for all the good people of the boards.)
Private chef? Sure. It includes a relo package, right?
Taking another day off today to rest and heal. My toe has been very sore (ingrown toenail, which I belive I have dispatched), so I've been a little gimpy. BUT keeping the diet clean (so far anyway).
I like the crossfit, but time becomes an issue now and then. we'll see how it progresses. But the variety of work and the type of moves are very interesting, that is for sure.

Wow, TOH is offering to take you to Jamaica? Lucky guy!
OUCH!!! those ingrown toenails hurt. I had to have both mine surgically removed. Kinda cool watching them pull it out. Doc said i was the first person that wanted to watch that part.
