Had to clean snow off the truck this morning. It was snowing when I went to bed but stopped during the night. Not as much snow as I though we would get.

6AM at Crossfit. Eric, Kelly, Dave and myself. Brian and Jerry coaching.

Here is the great and powerful Coach Jerry instructing us this morning.

WOD was a team activity. We only had enough people for one team so of course, our team won.

250 meter row
10 pull ups
15 knee to elbow (or knee to belly in my case)
20 split jerks
25 wall balls

Everyone started with a different activity. The trick to this WOD is that only one person can be doing one activity at a time. For example, if you were doing pull ups the next person could not start their pull ups until you were done. This pushed everyone to keep moving so that you did not hold anyone up.

Time–21:02. My real challenge was going from the wall balls right to the rower. The person in front of me was always done with the rower by the time I got done with the wall balls so I never got a break in between those two activities.

This was my first week with 5 Crossfits in a row. I am feeling good. Even my new cyst is not causing any problems. It only creates a problem when I have to push my wrist back. As long as the workout does not include that movement I am fine.

Brian catches me in another great action shot. (this was right of the rower, onto the floor)

Starting vacation today through next week. Did a little work this morning but hopefully will not have to work anymore today. Looking outside now the snow is falling again. Possible 2-4 more inches. This is turning into a real mess. We still do not have the leaves picked up. With all this snow perhaps it will be next spring before we finish the leaf cleanup.

What is a baby boomer?
People born between (and including) 1946 and 1964. After American soldiers returned home from World War II in1946, the United States experienced an explosion of births (hence the name baby boom) that continued for the next 18 years, when the birth rate began to drop. In 1964, baby boomers represented 40% of the population, which means that more than one third of the population was under 19 years of age. In the 1990s, approximately 76 million people in the United States were born in the baby boom years, representing approximately 29% of the country's population. Since baby boomers make up such a sizable portion of the consuming public, their spending habits and lifestyles have a powerful influence on the economy.
