Nice work Cyn!! You guys are inspiring me to tackle this one too. I’ve never done it before either and may have to give it a go before I head back West!

“Quiet (West Coast) Warrior” commented on the blog post Post Turkey WOD 1 month, 1 week ago
Yes… of course I broke it up – I’m not super human!!! I did 10/20/30 – 10 rounds. Was not bad at all. You’ll note I did only 100 push ups, instead of 200 al a Murph!

Well I woke up Christmas day feeling completely crippled mostly in my upper body and sick as a dog. My sister actually has some anti-biotics kickin around her house so I started taking them to clear out the green infested crap in my lungs.
After challenging Liz to do Pukey Brewster I didn’t want to [...] -

“Quiet (West Coast) Warrior” wrote a new blog post: Post Turkey WOD 1 month, 2 weeks ago
In an effort to sweat out a little too much indulgence over the past couple of days, I came up with this Murph inspired WOD this morning using some of the very limited equipment in the condo’s gym.
1000m row
100 push ups
200 sit ups
300 squats
1000m row
Time 35:20
The 2nd row was the worst… about 30 seconds longer than the [...] -
Cynthia Roulston wrote a new blog post: California Dreamin’ Part 1 Tuesday, December 22, 2009 1 month, 2 weeks ago
So I finally arrived in Carmel, California yesterday after basically 24 hours of travel. It was NOT supposed to take that long and required me spending over 16 hours in the Philadelphia airport. Needless to say I arrived and felt exhausted and definitely like I was getting a cold. My eyes were red, heavy and [...]

Today ROCKED! I woke up feeling slightly better today but I still feel like I am fighting a cold. WoooHooo! Alicia and I ran to Garland Regional Park which is a 3 mile run from my sister’s house. We did a light 7minute jog to warm-up and then for the rest of the 3 miles [...]

Awesome work Cyn… that is a lot of squats and pull-ups – you’re still as strong as ever!
Have an amazing Christmas! -

I’ve got some previous wods to catch up on which I will do later.
My California personal bootcamp adventure continues. As the year 2009 winds down I am squeezing in the type of wods that terrify me. Unbeknownst to some… I hate 2 things more than life itself – airsquats and pullups. So today I decided [...] -

Nice work Aimee! You have inspired me so this is what I am going to do today in Cali. I am calling it “All the things I hate”.
My two most hated on exercises are squats and pullups. There is a pullup bar at my nephew Andy’s school which is less than a 5minute walk from [...] -

“Quiet (West Coast) Warrior” wrote a new blog post: For those who roam… 1 month, 4 weeks ago
Today we did a great WOD that would work well for those with no CF home. It was in a Murph style so you could break up the middle any way you liked. For those who roam, you could sub the row for running to start it out and then all could be compelted at [...]

So today was super fun. Met a bunch of Crossfitters at East York Collegiate and did 4 stations/1 minute at each station with 1 min rest at the end of each round. Did 3 rounds total. Stations were:
1. Wall ball
2. Burpees
3. Situps (atomic-like on park bench)
4. Kettlebell swings (16kg – really need to start using [...] -

I was supposed to go yesterday but felt too exhausted. So today Carl and I went to a 7:30pm class and it felt pretty good. I drank less water this time so I am feeling less and less panic-stricken when I am there. I can feel my flexibility improving although I still feel like I [...]

So after a full day of teaching, coaching basketball for 2 hours afterschool and before school, carpooling a coworker home (after picking up her daughter from daycare) I felt pretty useless. But I am determined to start following what I think is a very reasonable workout scheduled… so I had to do SOMETHING even if [...]

This week I’m back in T.O. for the first time since moving out West and am keen to keep up with with my workouts. Sunday was such a great day seeing the gang and enjoying the “blinding” Ontario sunshine for an outdoor WOD. Plus seeing Cyn’s home gym and hearing her home WOD plans inspired me to also commit to myself [...]

Well I know I am not going to get any sympathy…. but f–k I feel fat! Today’s workout was fun because I did it at home alone and I am always impressed with myself when I can feel like I really pushed myself the same alone as I would have in a group. Although I [...]

With the Vancouver dampness setting in, I’ve been craving chicken soup. Sourced some Kelp Noodles on my Thanksgiving trip to Portland.
For this recipe I sauteed some chopped garlic, onion, carrots, celery and mushrooms in some olive oil. Added about 1 cup chicken stock and 1/2 cup or so water [...] -
