Cindy - I have been having adventures but I havent been off. The
adventures have been right at home. First I went almost a week with no internet.
That was almost as bad as a week with no exercise. Then we had an
incredible wind and rain storm that knocked our power out. I was running the
house from a generator so I only ran it a few hours in the morning, noon, and
night. With everything else I had to do during this time there was very little
time for the internet and/or training.Work has also picked up and it
seems I have very little time during my work day to update my blog posts, D5F
forums and the like. I like to use my break/lunch times to do my catch up. But
lately those breaks/lunches have been while driving to/from/between
investigations.

I thought the raw meat was a little over the top too. And we wonder why
some people give us strange looks when we tell them what we eat.

No reason. A friend sent a message about a false story on Taps. I
thought it was interesting so I did quick research and found it was
false. So I posted what is historically accepted as accurate.
I used to be a band geek and taps intrigued me. (I should have been
kicked out cuz I sucked).
So, no gloomy reason. But thanks for checking in.

Corey- lighten up. You will come back around. You've got the strength. I assume your form is still coming together under the watchful eye of your trainers. Someday soon your solid form is going to shine through and your strength will take over. And you'll be back where you want to be.
Patience, persistence, consistency.
Good and bad - The last 3 days
First of all, the diet has not been the best... at least for dinner. Breakfast, lunch and most snacks. I know not having a near 100% Paleo diet is effecting my metcon WODs, but I am still getting stronger. On December 28th I did: 5 Rounds 21 Thrusters 75# 21 Double unders 12:23 I knew I was kin...

Thanks PB. Yes, I have bumpers. I think the fear is that Ill hurt my
arms if I dump them backwards. Im actually thinking about practicing
the dump a few times. Kind of like the first time getting into a
kayak...you need to practice flipping over just so you know you wont
get stuck upside down in the boat.

Karen WOD
To take Christmas off the Mrs and I decided to workout through the rest days. Today we did "Karen" I have not done that in a long time 7:10 and I have no legs left. It is amazing how heavy 20# feels after just 50 throws. The Mrs starts at 7PM.

I think the major part of that storm is going out to sea before it hits us up here in Maine. They are talking only 2-4" on the coast with some localized pockets getting up to 6". My jeep needs a new transfer case so I struck a deal with my neighbor until I can afford to get it fixed. He plows. I sand.
Shoveling is an unbalanced load DL right?
Snow WOD
Today I think the WOD will be the many times I have shoveled already and need to do again. I need to work on form I am using to much lower back and rushing the movement to fast. I think I am losing it on the second lift ha-ha.
Goat- isnt that always the way ?
And thanks for checking out the blog. I need to find a way to post your
website address along with the RedShed and Never Quit etc. For all the
thanks and payback to you guys for support, techniques etc

Atodd, it was funny. I laughed at myself after. And I lost my father
two years ago. I understand the need for levity. My Dad was one of my
best friends.

Alone. I sit alone. I sit alone in the corner, cold, dark, alone in this corner. What did I do to deserve this? We were close, you used to hold me, swing me in your arms, then you would set me down only to pick me back up and do it again. I knew we would be together soon again, we never went a we...
I really liked this. However, I was on the wrong track reading it. I thought the "person" "talking" was you as a child and that one of your parents died. I was getting sad until the end. Foolish me.
