CrossFit at 9AM. Beautiful sunny Ohio late fall day.

The garage door was open at the gym. Hard to believe that this is November 14th.

During the week my wife never sees me leave the house around 5:20 AM for CrossFit. This morning she was around, getting ready for her day as I was getting ready for class. “How can you go workout when you can’t even move?”, was her question.

She had a good point. My hips are really stiff, my heel hurts again and I tore my back up a little bit yesterday. Truly an example of the walking wounded.

I have found that in the end if I go to class I will feel better for the rest of the day. Even though I could not perform well this morning just moving around helped loosen me up.

Often on Saturday morning the fire breathers come out and you can see by the results that many of the guys were on fire this morning. Notice that Ron even kept going to do a fifth round.

For my rowing I pulled the rower outside to the parking area so I could kind of feel like the rest of the group and capture a little bit of vitamin D. As I was rowing I noticed that directly in my line of vision was the sign for the nearby funeral home. I kept rowing as I thought about how being outside in the sun pulling on the rower was better than being in the funeral home. That helped keep me going.

Will came up with an idea for a picture op. You figure it out.
