I did the Leatherneck yesterday, otherwise known as the USMC Mud Run, which is in Columbia, SC. It's also the largest in the country. Our CrossFit gym had 4 teams in it....overall there was about 15000 competitors. This one was 4.2 miles with 32 obstacles. They are so tough and challenging, yet very fun and rewarding.
That sounds awesome!!! I'd love to do stuff like this on a regular basis, but it gets pricey.
Today I did my first Fran (21-15-9 of thrusters and pull ups). The goal set for us was to do it in less than 4 minutes. I squeaked in at 3:55. (Obviously not rx'ed, but who cares?!! ) Woo hoo!!!
Tonight's exercise calls for some serious a$$ kicking.
Im having a bunch of my martial arts friends stop by for a night of friendly sparring and fighting. I am a wing chun/chinese kenpo/taiji fighter and have some guys who do BJJ, Silat, Jeet kun do, shotokan, Bagua, hung gar and muay thai coming by so I can serve them some "tea". Nothing like a cool gathering of warriors/fighters doing warrior/fighting stuff.
I got a late start today, but I am now heading out to do my daily 5k run.
I am at an impasse though because this HAS to be the last day I run in my Nikes because they need to be retired. I want some Vibram KSO Treks, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE using my Nike+ with my iPod. Decisions, decisions, decisions. Do I get new pair of Nikes or some KSOs? Hmmmmmmmm.
Yesterdays "Gathering Dragons" was awesome. Great workout. Great exchange of martial arts ideas and viewpoints.
Today's workout was a piece of cake compared to yesterday's. Yesterday was do as many rounds as possible of 5 pull ups, 10 push ups, 15 squats in 20 minutes. I did 17 (using bands for pull ups and push ups). This is a 50% improvement over the last time we did that WOD 4 months ago. Yea! And ouch!

Have I ever mentioned how much I love crossfit?
Now I know what my workout for tomorrow will be. Aint no way I'll be able to do 17 rounds though.
I did Diddly Squat so far today. Was goofing around trying to get my iPod to work and I missed my window of opportunity to get my morning run in. Its like I just dont want to run without my Nike plus iPod.
Headed out to Zumba...hope she gives us a good workout today! I'm tired, but Zumba energizes me until I get home and then I crash on Fridays!
