100d x 10m = 1 strong core (Page 11)

Yeah, I bet. 

Sorry to disappoint.  I'm not a puker, unless I'm doing speed work or racing, and I actually haven't done that in years.

I never run an night though, and it was so awesome.  I may just have to start doing that.  So many lightning bugs, and the stars are so bright out here.   Perfect temperature.  It was really beautiful. 

5 for 5 so far.  Today I start the TdF bike challenge too.  Maybe I should add a "run every day" one, too, and see how quickly my body disintegrates.

Yesterday's was the AbCoaster, incline bench something (I dunno...call 'em crunches??), plank (held it 90 sec), bicycle crunches, and a bunch of hip flexor work.  Definitely feeling the accumulated fatigue.

Please ignore the sexy M&M lady. 

And just so we're real clear on our math here:

   + =

And that would be Mike in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd for posts of the week, and I'd rank them "Math," "French Fries" and "ET TU," respectively.  Dude, how does feel to sweep the post podium?  You are absolutely pure win.  So glad you're here :)

Excellent "before" pic.  The M n M thing might require some explanation on your part.  Not judgin, just want the back story on all that.

As far as the challenges go, I am, in fact, doing the everyday running (30 in 30, but I plan to keep going, especially now that I'm ahead of that pu$$y LB), TdF, and core challenges.  I fondly refer to it as the "Triple Threat" and if anyone would care to join me, that would be excellent, but only if you can really step up the smack talk and generally witty banter. 

Bring it.

Sorry about your suck-streak there :/  Take is easy on that ankle.  Still hurty? Maybe not run and transition practice?  Maybe rest, and do some mental transition practice? 

OK, now that the nice oh-I'm-all-concerned-about-your-health-and-pushing-too-hard-BS is out of the way, yes, doubles will do it :)

But maybe wait on the doubles until after race day?

Today's core challenge  was a fit piglet workout  10 rounds of

10 pushups

10 squats

10 sit ups

I wanted to puke on the last set.

It does look challenging, but the stretch looks like it would feel great.  In pilates, there are some pieces that get you nice and stretched out like that--arc barrel, chair and reformer are lovely little torture devices. Spring loaded resistance work with ankle and hand straps on a sliding leather platform anyone?

Teejay, in my defense, I know that Crossfit is cool with modifications--they'd have to be, right?  I mean, some of the chit I see you CFers doin, you can't just walk off the street and do, regardless of your prior fitness, you nuts;)  I was trying to make a joke about modifying the name from GHD to GD;)  Tee hee.

Me likey Judi ^.  Strong work.

Here's my core challenge exercise of the day:

In push-up position draw your right knee up to your right elbow and hold for 10 seconds, then take the right knee over to the left elbow and hold for 10.  If you can, go directly into the same thing with the left leg.  Keep the navel drawn tow toward the spine throughout, and the butt down.  Enjoy!

Right?  Grr.

And the stinker never does core work either...

I need a ruling from the judges on this. I skipped yesterday, due to unforeseen circumstances that involved:

• Beer with friends after work
• Dinner out with wife after beer
• More beer and music with friends after dinner
• Electricity outage during beer and music

I am doubling up today to atone for my sins. Am I still on pace?

LOL I'm doing the TdF, this one, and the Guppies Revenge on SlowTwitch. I think Dan is going to kill us in the pool over the next two months. Yikes.

Hehehe...somebody had a fun Friday;)

Doubles are fine, but if you double you absolutely don't get to curse me the next day getting out of bed--it's all on you, man.

Excellent :)

Here we go!  I think that takes us to a nice 5:4.  If Brad antes up, will be even.
