Where'd the Weekend Go?

Yesterday, I got in a decent run: 5.25 miles in my new running shoes. But boy is it hot!!! I'm going to have to start running at 6am at the latest.

The picture below is a typical day of me working. As you can see, Wilma owns the chair and lets me use about 2 inches of it.

If she's not taking over my chair, then you'll always find her in bed. It's hard to resist going in there and laying down with her! But then, I'd just be like her and sleep away the entire day. Yeah... I could do that.

Sunday evening, we had a get together for Bryant Davies. He is leaving for at least a year... moving up north, back to the Baltimore area for work. I took over some healthy snacks for the party... except for the sinful Baked Brie that got devoured! Other than that, I took strawberries with non-fat yogurt dip, and grilled sausage: organic chicken & turkey italian sausage, and organic pork andouille. MMmmm MMmmm Good!

Bryant will have to frame this picture of him and his harem. Front: Robin Perkins, me and the hostess, Lisa Plescia. Back: Robin Adams, Troy Kimbrough, Bryant, Amy Keener, and Dawn Clark.

Today... it is back to reality. I met Dawn at 5:20am for the1.5 mile jog to CrossFit. For today's workout, we had a choice between Mary and Cindy.

Mary is the 5 handstand pushups, 10 one-legged squats on each leg, and 15 pull-ups - Max rounds in 20 minutes.

Cindy is 5 pull-ups, 10 pushups, and 15 squats - Max rounds in 20 minutes.

Marc posted this picture of me doing the handstand push-ups. It looks pretty impressive... until I tell you that I am hoisted in the air with rubber bands. I need help getting into the handstand position using rubber bands (a pain for only 5 push-ups), so I decided to do Cindy: jumping pull-ups and girlie pushups (on the knees).

20 rounds plus 3 pull-ups. The last time I did this, I was still using the blue band and managed 16 rounds. So this was an improvement. It's faster doing the jumping pull-ups because you don't have to get in and out of the band, but it's also more tiresome doing the jumping pull-ups.

Then, the 1.5 mile jog home turned into a 1.5 mile walk home.
