CrossFit at 6AM on a rainy Wednesday morning. Dave, Angie, Steve and Eric with Brian coaching.

Brian had some exciting news to share this morning. Coach Glassman (CrossFit founder) has confirmed that he will be visiting the CrossfitLegacy box on Saturday, November 28, 2009. This is really big news for our box and for the NE Ohio area. No details are set other than the date. More to come.

Worked on Hang Cleans as our skill. I think I am getting to the point where I actually understand how to do this.

Was successful with the Hang Cleans at 95 lbs during the WOD. My squats on the thrusters sucked today. You could put a thousand pounds on my bar today and I would not go down. The concrete was set hard in my hips this morning.

About beat myself to death with the jump rope on the double unders. It’s very frustrating because I know all the things I am doing wrong. Much of it has to do with my handling of the rope. I was able to get a couple in here and there but I never made the 10 per set. I would still be in the gym if I had waited until that happened.

Although all my movements were not the best this morning I sure worked hard for 24 minutes.

Eating—Doing great on plan. Expecting at least some type of loss by Friday morning.

What hurts today—My hips were not squatting this morning. I was hopeful that after a couple of sets of thrusters they would loosen up but that did not happen today. All the jump rope work did a number on my already sore heels (back of heel). We will see how they are acting in the morning.

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.
