Crossfit #1

Wow...
Today I partook in my first Crossfit workout... and it was more of a beast than I initially planned that it would be. All in all the workout consisting of 3 consecutive sets of:
800m
115 lb thrusters x 15
L-Pullups x 21
... does not sound all that bad. However, doing such a thing is a different story. Yet, alas, twas completed with sets of 6:15, 6:30, 7:00, for a total time of 19:45.
I sure did enjoy it and hope to continue many workouts that this site has to offer in the near future.

Also, I began climing recently, and in summary, had a blast and looking forward to doing it time and time again; forearms sore, need shoes and harness... one of these days HMO here I come.

Well, need to go and do something more productive.

Time is on my side... not so much...

Well, another day has come and the the disdain of this man, almost gone. As it turns out there are just not enough hours in a given day to get what one needs done... therefore I have decided to operate on the metric "day"... however this metric day would either be to short... or to long; because it would have to be 10 or 100 hours to make happy metric symmetry. Thus, maybe I [or the proverbial we...] should switch to something on the binary scale... say 2^5. This would give 32 hours to the day, hopefully evenly distributed, except of course, to the work day. So, adding those hours in would allow an extra 2 hours of working out, 2 more hours of study and 4 extra hours of sleep per day. So, with all rambling aside and time wasted on this day, I bid adeau and good night... dinner time!!!

April's Wedding...

In my absent-mindedness, I have forgotten to mention the fact that my sister got married a smidgebit over a month ago... in truth I am proud and hope many many wonderful years rain upon her and her husband... wow is it wierd to use that word when talking about my sister, who now has the role of being a wife...
Here is the beautiful couple

So, with all the procrastination I have recently partaken in as of late, I figured why not find another venue to, yet again, wet the palate of time wasting ways in posting to my little blog...

Recently Justin Gatlin broke the world record in the men's 100 m... quite a feat, not just for J-Gat; but for man. I say that, because as one who is into track and field, I have always wondered how fast man can go. It does not seem humanly possible to run a 100m dash in 0.1 sec; 1.0 sec; or even 6.0 seconds...
But I ask; is 9.5 possible, 9.0, 8.0?

It seems that there must be a limit... or will hundredths of a second be whittled off of that mark of the speed of man, the end of which for only time to tell...

Yet, nevertheless; now we have a time; set in place for others to strive, to stride, to strain for in their effort to become the worlds fastest man; breaking a mark set by those before...

This sure looks to be a good summer for track and field... Congratulations J-Gat and to track and field, for its recognition is much needed, not on the world scene, so much as here in the United States.
