Shifting gears for winter.

Nov.8th

" no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning ones self"
F. Nietzsche

WOD

Dead lifts 3,3,3,3,3,3,3 with 300# Barbell.

15- 50 yard sprints.

Got a new pair of running racing flats to break in for the fall and winter running season. Its always been my favorite to run in the fall as it keeps the body weight in check for the reduction of outside activities that tend to decline in the winter. The air always smells sharp and fresh and makes training a pleasure regardless of the terrain.

Nov. 9th

"Hope is a walking dream"
Aristotle

WOD

150 wall balls- 75 with 12Kg kettkebell, 75 with medicine ball.

Now that the leaves are falling, its time to change to winter time training until spring. What does that mean? Well it mean that there is less out side activities such as biking and shorter daylight. So its time to displace some of the biking with running and have to spend more time in the gym instead of my outside play yard. No big deal, as its good to make big changes in routines so you don't plateaus.

Nov. 10th

"Take calculated risks,is different from being rash.
George s Patton

WOD Cindy with a swing.
5 Pull ups

10 floor push ups

15 squats

20 swings with 24Kg. KB American style

Nov. 11 Veteran's day
"sometime they will give a war and no one will come"
Carl Sandburg



Today is the day to remember or veteran serving and who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. It seems as long as I can remember there has been some war or major military action around the world. There seems to be no end to it. In some of the hearts and minds of the American public this is the extent of the parade.
WOD
1000 meter rowing
25 double unders
750 meters rowing
50 double unders
500 meter rowing
100 double under
23 mins. time.


This is the first rowing I have done in 2 years and feels good to be back. I lost my concept 2 rower in a fire some time ago so its been close to 2 years without rowing. I did compete in the Ergs years back and how can you forget the pain that inflicts!
anyway erg rowing is a great indoor training, but its not for everyone.
