CrossFit at 6AM. Tomas, Kelly, Eric, Dave, Stacia, Miranda, Brett and Will with Brian coaching. Heavy rain this morning on the way to the box.
I always like deadlifts so I was happy with this mornings wod. The bodyweight part sucks but otherwise it’s ok. I started of with my ideal weight of 225 and got the first 21 done but it was just too much weight to get the high numbers. I pulled off 50 and went down to 175 lbs for the remainder of the wod.

Spent Friday and Saturday dealing with a water leak in the basement that finally got resolved late Saturday evening. Whatever could go wrong did go wrong but finally things came together.
Mom is having her gallbladder removed this afternoon so I will be at the hospital with her. Hoping that she is in and out today.
Debbie’s sister C is also in the hospital for a few days so there is a lot going on in our lives.
Eating—On track, doing good. Miranda at the gym is going to try Paleo so I am winning them over one by one. Almost everyone in the gym had their shoes off for the deadlifts this morning so my fivefingers look kind of classy in a sea of white socks and bare feet.
What hurts today—This morning getting out of bed I slammed my right heel into the bed frame. Not a good way to start the day. I am done with the meds the doc gave me last week. I am disappointed that all the pain is not gone and scared that it is going to come back full force. I am doing a lot of stretching to try to prevent that. With the pull ups my left forearm is hurting again. Other than those little things I am feeling great. The deadlifts today did not seem to impact my back at all.

Hope your Mom and Debbie’s sister are both doing well. Congrats again on the fundraiser – I really enjoyed the video!
