    Maybe these muffin omelettes will make things a bit more exciting…

    Murph is one of my favourite WODs.

    As I start the march towards being in shape, I thought it best to start slowly.  So twice a week I’m working out.  1/4 Murph one day and a lift the other day.

    I just finished up 1/4 Murph.  No time, the only goal was to be alive at the end.  Mission accomplished.

      Awesome – can’t wait to see the space. What’s the timeline for opening day?

    • Tyler 1:04 pm on November 8, 2009 Permalink

      Negotiations with the leading space have been….. interesting. So it’s largely dependant on that.

      In other words, unknown. :(

  • Another WOD to try as I claw my way back.

    Five rounds for time of:
    95 pound Snatch, 3 reps
    95 pound Overhead squat, 15 reps
    Run 400 meters

    I’ve done 3 x (400m run, 15 95# OHS) and it sucked.

      I do not envy you this workout… but I suspect you will rock it.

  • Super fast dessert

    No, it’s not 100% Paleo, I understand that.

    I’m currently testing myself for a dairy sensitivity (aka, no dairy for 2 weeks, have some, measure impact) so I can’t have any chocolate.

    I’m also fairly lazy when it comes to cooking, and this “recipe” reflects that.

    Grab a handful of almods/cashews/nut, drizzle with honey, toss a bunch of cinnamon on top, mix, stuff in face.

    It’s a cheat that’s not a “burn down the house” cheat.

      Awesome – can’t wait to hear all the dets and hopefully you’ll be open when I’m back at the end of Nov so I can check it out!

    • mattleq 7:21 pm on October 12, 2009 Permalink

      This is exciting. Student becomes teacher. Best of luck on the opening, looking forward to trying the gym, when next I’m in town.

    It is imminent.

    Place your ear to the ground and listen for the thunder.

      Very exciting stuff. Your neighbours are gonna LOVE your 6AM snatch workouts!

    • Tyler 11:04 am on September 28, 2009 Permalink

      This is both a workout and a method of non-violent revenge.

  • Paleo Granola

    From CrossFit Invictus

    • 5 cups nuts and seeds (I used slivered almonds, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, pecans, and sunflower seeds; you can use whatever you want, but make sure you use at least 2 – 3 cups slivered almonds, as these take the place of what is normally oats)
    • 1/3 cup honey (or maple syrup or any other Paleo-approved sweetener)
    • 1/3 cup Paleo-friendly oil (I used coconut and highly recommend it)
    • 2 tsp vanilla
    • 1 tsp cinnamon
    • 1 tsp nutmeg
    • 1 cup raisins
    • 1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

    Mix honey, oil, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg in a small saucepan and bring to a boil on the stove. Let it cool. Spread the nuts and seeds out on a greased baking sheet and pour the cooled honey mixture over the top. Mix it around to get everything covered, and bake for 30 minutes at 300 degrees. Allow the pan to cool slightly and then put the mixture into a bowl. Mix in raisins and coconut, and enjoy!

    Your biggest key to success with this (and really any) recipe is to go a little crazy. Add your own twist to it or branch off in another crazy direction. The granola you see in the picture, for example, was mixed with almond butter, pressed into a brownie pan, and is now chilling in the freezer to make granola bars.

      Not really sure how one goes “crazy” with granola, but to each their own.
