Crossfit at 6AM. Steve, Stacia, John, Gretchen, Conner and Jason with Brian coaching. Jason is back from his Colorado trip.
We received word that Tomas has a new baby boy.
Slept well last night, in bed at 10PM, only up once. Actually slept until my 5AM alarm went off. That has not happened for a very long time. Could being on vacation have anything to do with sleeping better? Makes you wonder.
Did well on today’s WOD. Did not attempt the double unders, stuck with 150 singles. Jason actually did 150 unbroken single jump ropes. He was really proud, as well he should be. Jason was definitely jump rope challenged when he started. Another Crossfit example of how being consistent and working on something hard produces quality results.
Brian introduced a new move this morning, the barbell press. This came real easy to me since pushing heavy things over my head is one of my strengths. Below is an example of the move.

Eating—On track with 16 days doughnut free. Chicken is on sale this week so chicken is my protein of choice this week.
What hurts today—My heal (right foot) is still acting up. It just slows me up it getting started for the morning and is a real aggravation. Typical left shoulder pain.
[...] ONE YEAR AGO We have not seen Tomas for a very long time but it was just a year ago that his baby boy was born. [...]
