Not a big fan of the WOD today. Why can’t we just do deadlifts or back squats everyday? I did not have a chance with the Over Head Squats and did front squats (or what some might call shallow knee bends). About half way through the WOD I finally loosened up enough that I could actually do a couple Burpees (Squat Thrusts) in a row. I did not stop but I sure would have liked to.

Some comments were made about the puddle of sweat I left after the WOD. I let them think it was sweat. They don’t need to know my Depends shifted on me and the puddle was just piss leaking down my leg.

After the WOD we did a cleaning/moving WOD, getting the box ready for the CrossFit 101 tomorrow. Things have come together well and looks like we are ready.

Eating—Having Thanksgiving dinner at Mom’s this afternoon rather than yesterday.

What hurts today—Really hard time getting moving this morning. Very frustrating.

One Year Ago Several inches of snow on the ground this time last year. We did Barbara for our WOD.

20 Pull ups
30 Push ups
40 Set ups
50 Air Squats

5 sets (3 minutes rest between sets)
