Crossfit at 6AM. Steve, Stacia and Ralph with Brian coaching. I think this is only the second or third time I have worked out with Ralph. He attends afternoon classes most often.

Brian created the “Charlie Special” for us today to mimic a workout Charlie Dunifer did recently. 250 jump ropes are a lot at one time and I really had to break those up. I was able to do the KB Swings (I used 35lb) and most of the pull ups unbroken.

My energy continues to increase but my biggest challenge right now is quick movement endurance, such as jump ropes. I would be much happier carrying something very heavy around for for a long time. Part of Crossfit is working on those things that you don’t do well so I guess I will keep jumping rope.

Stacia was on fire today and whipped through the workout. It is clear her endurance is increasing.

Stacia was not in class yesterday morning but mentioned that her boss drove by as we were working outside yesterday and wanted to know why we were hitting a tire with a big hammer.

What hurts today—Had a really restless nights sleep. Up 3 times to pee. That was a bit unusual and my back was hurting really bad by midnight. By 2AM I broke down and took a pain med which helped relieve the pain but I did not get back into a deep sleep for the rest of the night. Once I got up and moving and finished my workout my back was fine. Still a slight ache in left shoulder.
