Today’s WOD: For time: 75 thrusters, 95/65# *100m run everytime you set the bar down. My time: 16:37 — I used 45# for the thrusters and rowed 150m instead of running 100m Very good workout! I was drenched! Looking forward to Saturday’s WOD!

No Disappointment, Called Out On Excuse, and Log for April 12, 2012

by Stephen Vinson April 12, 2012

A couple of things: Liz commented yesterday: “Keep it up, dude. But do not be disappointed if you don’t lose as much next week, okay?” Oh yeah, historically, I lose a lot the first week getting back on track, then the weight loss tapers off… I’m hoping for a 1-4 lb weight loss next Wednesday.

Thoughts About A Bad Run And Log For Monday, April 9, 2012

by Stephen Vinson April 10, 2012

Lazy Easter Sunday and Log for Sunday, April 8, 2012

by Stephen Vinson April 9, 2012

It was a lovely Easter Sunday. The only activity I did was cut the back yard. I’m resting my legs from yesterday’s long walk. Not really a lot of soreness. I made some chicken chili today, which is pretty good. It needs tweaking, but it’ll get there. When I get it where I want it, [...]

Fantastic views of the city from this trail… Here’s some [...]
