Family

I am sorry this is late. If nothing else in my life amounts to much, I should at least remember you guys. Three years and one week ago I served with some of the greatest people the United States has to offer this country, and even some of the best in the world. I will not forget you guys. Not ever. I think of you daily. What a great honor it was. Service above self. I work for you still, I am just on the sidelines. Less noticed, but I am here and serving with honor. I am still humbled by your commitment and there are weeks I still wish that I was closer to you.

I must admit that I can't remember all of you, but the picture you gave me and the messages you wrote are proudly displayed in the tower I work in now. You are my real family, and you are welcome in my home anytime.

Shortstuff. Mikey "two toes", Rascal, Froesus, LZ, J Dubya, Crummy, Mocha, Lost, Meatball, Chief Hall, Ray aka "Roy", Eddie Scar-burry, Stifler, Stucky, Burlew, Joe the Bulldog, Doc Louie, Cookie, Yucko the Clown, Sinner, MCPO Frank, SCPO Kevin, Schmitty, Hoosier, Miller, Susskey, XO and CO. The list goes on, I can't remember as well, but your faces are easier to remember.

I miss you guys. This beer is for all of you.

May your tail rotors and autos always give you that rush. I will keep the hangar doors open.

Fair winds and following seas. Smooth tailwinds.

Semper Paratus,

Click to interact.
Front Squat 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps.

30 min 185 lbs. I was initially surprised at the greater amount of mid-line stabilization required to perform this exercise when compared to the back squat.

I went ahead and did yesterday's WOD:

50-40-30-20-10

Jump rope (modified due to this shitty calf injury)
Sit-ups

10 min

Am I just falling apart cause I am approaching 30? I think not. It could be worse, I could be in Iraq, right Johnny? I think a 44 y/o that can keep up with me just proves that 30 is just the beginning of my prime.

Sunday, February 17, 2008

I am delaying the WOD again d/t a calf injury. I got dressed, set everything up, stretched, then realized I have been favoring my right calf for several w.o.'s. I have tomorrow off, so I will try to start again then.

Saturday, February 16, 2008

Run 5k.

Okay, here's the dealyohh, Coach. How's about I hit that 5k tomorrow after tomorrow's WOD? Thanx, delay of game d/t WX.

"Randy"

75 pound Power snatch, 75 reps for time.


40 Min.

I was approached by a fellow globo-gym-er. He asked me questions about my workout. Told me a few tips on his days at doing snatches. For the most part he agreed with what I had to say about globo-gyms. Then I told him about Crossfit and how he should check out the site. He blew me off, you know, kinda how someone says, "try this" and you just nod your head and flush it as soon as you walk away. I decided to finish up with 100 sit ups and 100 back extensions. Then he approached me again and asked,"How many sets did they have you do?" I told him, "75 total". He says,"No, how many sets?" I said, to clarify, "75 total, no rests. Those rests you saw me do were cause I just started this stuff." His eyes got a bit wider and he asked me again what the site was. LOL!
