I was talking to my frequent training partner, who also happens to be a nurse and incredibly nutrition savvy, V, the other night, and she mentioned something I hadn’t keyed in on in my quest to understand what’s going on with me – I’ve been injured. The shoulder still hurts, a lot. I can’t do…

CrossFit Haters are Funny
One of my favorite things about CrossFit is that it doesn’t take itself too seriously … I mean, there are PEOPLE that take it too seriously, but by and large, even they know who they are. Funny, sarcastic post from Moynihan Institute via Conditioning Research … he rips on everything from Vibrams to abs to:…
WOD: 5s
A WOD from last week: 5 Rounds 5 jumpover burpees (lateral hop across stick) 5-second freestanding handstand hold (hard for me) 5 stick snatches 5 situps 5-10-5 yard sprint drill Time: 7:59 I made this up as a riff off of my new favorite site – Eva T.’s blog, where she posts a quickie, no-equipment-required…

I am posting the ones that pertain to me: Your _____ has started bothering you when you do ____. (insert body part and specific movement) Shoulder & rotator cuff / anything…
Biking + volleyball
Holy cow I never knew biking was so hard. I mean, I used to ride my bike for hours on end as a kid, we’d ride from my house to my best friend’s house to the convenience store for snacks to the library to somewhere to create trouble … but I didn’t wear padded bike…
Nature’s Garage Gym Playground
I’ve been Yoga-ing the past two days (at King Yoga and then with Dana from 02, which is currently closed), and really enjoyed it. It’s killer on your shoulders, and my right shoulder is in just enough pain that it MIGHT mean that the rotator cuff isn’t fully healed 🙁 I’ve discovered another fun workout…
Great Lists of Training Secrets
Trainer Tells All He Has Learned About Health and Fitness Trainer Tells MORE About All He Has Learned About Health and Fitness These two are GREAT lists of random things that I more or less agree with from Mike O’Donnell at Fitness Spotlight.

Commitment
I committed to run/walk/skip/GO down and up these steps at least once a day for as many days in a row as I live here. That’s 64 steps. Friday night at 11:14pm, I realized I hadn’t run the stairs yet. It was hailing lightly and pitch black, but Nali and I ventured out into the…
