Melanie: Friday
Cooked for six hours straight. Cooked food, that is. That counts for something, right?
Rest day
Though my body is resting (stretch only today at the Y), my mind is still busy thinking about feats of strength....
Sam Thursday
Did the Randy WOD
7:33 (15, 15, 15, 10, 12, 8)
That was tougher than I thought it would be.

Hero workouts
The Crossfit site WOD for today is your pick of workouts honoring servicemen killed in the line of duty (see http://www.crossfit.com/cf-info/faq.html#WOD1). Some of these looked really brutal. I decided to combine 2 WOs that I could complete and not be crippled tomorrow.
Randy - In honor of Randy Simmons, 51, a 27 year LAPD veteran and SWAT team member who was killed February 6 in the line of duty.
75# power snatch - 75 reps for time
- since no bumper plates at the Y, I did these from the low hang position - with the bar about the same height off the ground it would be with full size plates.
Michael - In honor of Navy Lieutenant Michael McGreevy, 30, of Portville, NY, who was killed in Afghanistan June 28 2005.
3 rounds for time of:
Run 800m (I subbed C2 rower)
50 back extensions
50 sit ups
I split up the power snatches because Jason was doing another "Hero WO" (Daniel) and needed the bar for thrusters. So, I did 50 reps, then "Michael" and then finished up with the last 25.

Happy birthday Melanie!
In Mel's honor, I did 100 one-arm swings with the 18# kettle-bell last night. Only 18# you say? Well try 50 in a row with no break and we'll talk more about the 18#er. Did 10 straight, solid, excellent form deep push-ups too. Its amazing how much padded carpet improves the push-experience.
My quads are becoming pillars of justice. I'm worried my arms are becoming spindly and weak with all this leg work. The swings are felt mostly in the hindquarters and pillars. Sam says i'm crazy but so is he.
