WOW!
Hey everyone!
It has been a whole week since I last posted and a lot has taken place. Last week I completed 22 miles; 6 on Tuesday, 6 on Thursday and 14 on Saturday, but actually came up short and did 10. I was running and feeling good with the plan to complete 14 miles. Around mile 9 I was feeling really good and was going to keep moving. My mind left the trail and was focused of something else and I landed on a root and turned my ankle, and went down to the ground. I heard a pop and burning pain in my ankle. I laid there rolled up and felt my ankle. No swelling yet. I thought to myself good, but the pain was burning. So I laid there luckily I had my training partner Shelly whole knows no pain and notice I was on the ground and keep bring me a stick to through. She kept me in the moment and focused on getting better. I also brought my phone so that I could track my mileage and route. So I called my wife to meet me at the nearest park to pick me up. Which was only about 1/4 mile away. I finally got up looked down at my ankle and saw that it was not swelling. Which was a good sign, but it was definitely sore. I had to end the run there because of the condition of the ankle. So I came up short on my mileage. But I felt very good, strong and was ready to continue onward. Right now the ankle is doing great, I will stick to flat smooth surfaces for a while right now so that I can regain the strength in the ankle.

Good Morning Everyone! Feb 6, 2009 Friday
WOD
5 Rounds for time:
5 Deadlifts (160lbs)
10 Burpes
Time: 7:04
Nice short workout. I did feel it somewhat in my legs especially hams.
Your mind can play games with you and tell you that you can't do it and Crossfit helps you to separate the two. I figure out that if I don't think about the movement and just do it I can accomplish it. I was doing pullups in a WOD one morning and every time that I sat there and thought about if I was going to be able to do it or not I would not do a strong pull-up. If I saw myself doing the motion I would make it. Interesting how that works. That is where Crossfit stands out from other workout formats. It takes you all the way to exhaustion and then says keep going! That is when the mind tries to take over, if you let it. But if you let you body take over you will shortly find out that you can go even further than what you thought.
Later!

Thursday February 5th, 2009
I inveted my own work out for today which invloved these movoments: Push-ups, Pull-up, and Squats. The plan was to do 10 push ups every 10 min starting at minute 5, 50 squats every ten minutes starting at 10 min and 10- pull-ups at three locations around Memorial Park. Distance is 6 miles. Total pushups:60, pull-ups: 60, Spauts 250. Mileage 6 miles 1:02.12.
I thought that was pretty good time. The last mile and a half I felt like I was crusing. I felt very powerful and strong. I was quite surprised that I had the power, endurance and stamina to pick up the pace for that long. It was really good. Crossfit is really doing its job, especially recently.
