Saturday. November 15. 2008. The “Redwood” level 3.
I worked graveyards the previous night and woke up after about 5 hours of sleep. I warmed-up with the Kettlebell Foundation series which prepared my muscles and joints for the workout to come.
After chalking my PB 20 kg kettlebell, I set my gymboss timer to tone at 1 minute [...]

“FAT LOSS? Come on! What’s the deal?”

Life is interesting. I last posted about two weeks ago, right after I had a chunk of skin cut out of my back. The Doc told me not to work out for a while, so as not to pull my stitches out. So with two weeks of no exercise under my belt, [...]

10 weeks down, 2 to go!
Saturday was our “Heavy” day, and if you’ve been reading (or participating, I hope) along, then you know that “Heavy” means 5 ladders with 5 rungs each. This is our hard, max effort day.

And all those kinds of things!

Val used her 16 kg for her singles, and her [...]

It’s always nice to hit a light Monday after the 5X5 ladders on Saturday. That doesn’t mean we slow down though. We have three weeks to the end of the program and our final test. We’re going to use those weeks wisely and finish strong.
This is my last day on vacation and [...]

After spending half the afternoon at Ikea in Emeryville planning and ordering a friend’s new kitchen (she liked the way ours looked), we returned home empty-handed after both our credit cards were declined. I don’t really know why, as there was plenty of room on both of them. ???
Anyway, Val and I started our [...]
