CrossFit at 6AM. Steve, Noreen, Carl, Eric, Stacia and Tom with Brian coaching.
Another beautiful Ohio summer morning.
We lifted and moved heavy things this morning so I had a great time.
I felt especially good and strong this morning. I was even able to push out some decent ring dips (with assistance from bands). For the deadlifts I went with 230 lbs. Had to get 5 more lbs than Eric. I am just glad I am not a competitive type of person. Even the 230 lbs felt surprising light this morning. I should have gone heavier.
Carl and I were having our own little mini competition between each other. Although we spend the majority of the time harassing and annoying each other without mercy we made a really good team when it was time to workout this morning. I am really hopeful that we come up with a way to keep Carl coming a couple times a week, even when school starts. I know that he will benefit from the workouts.

Eating—On plan. Feeling really good. Going into week three of Paleo. Does the different eating have anything to do with how I feel stronger and just generally more fit? With a lack of anything else to attribute my good health to I will go with the diet. I have to stay consistently on guard against the temptation of a doughnut but if I can keep that up I will be successful.
What hurts today—I slept well last night and no major issues. My right heel still causes a problem on some mornings. If I just keep moving it will finally loosen up.
