Beer Drinker Appreciation Society - Closed (Page 94)

Survived Crossfit last night. It is one mile from my house so I ran there due to parking issues (It is very close to the Bush Library so there was a lot of action there yesterday).

Kettlebell swings.

Well, draft night tonight for the Pro-am alzheimer's hockey tourney. Free beer and appies...oh, oh.  

Play one game tomorrow and two Sunday. Good thing I have stone hands to begin with so my numb hand/shoulder shouldn't affect my scoring.

Going to try sneek a bike in this weekend if possible but not sure of the post game activities...

Have a good weekend everyone!

YES!!!! Just trying to make my way through the posts here, but a huge "RIGHT ON" to you Alex! inspiration! GIVn'R

Ran to crossfit??? Beast Mode!.... for an interesting kettlebell WOD youtube 'Snatches-Beer-Burpees'

Very cool Idea! .... I am pretty jealous of your job man!

So cool that you're doing that!

Finished my first race; 80th in my age group and 166th overall, with an average pace of 7:40.  Gun time was 25:38, but my moving time was probably more like 24:30.

Happy with it overall.

Very nice!  Let us know when the race report is up.

Edited...dang I'm lazy, just checked and it's there..haha gonna go read it now.  Again great race.

I just decided I don't need no stinkin knees.  Just got home from a stellar 1 hour upper body and core workout at the gym.  Between the strength work and the pool I'll smoke the other 2 when I'm back.  The extra workouts really help me mentally with the fact that I'm still sidelined.  I read somewhere "core work is free speed".  Also thanks Bobby because I found a machine that really works the hips and glutes.  That should speed up my recovery time.  Hitting the hammys and calves also to balance everything out.

ETA: For anyone keeping track I hit 195 today on the scale  Pretty soon I'll look like Ally McBeal  (please take that as a joke)

Awesome on all fronts Ally!  I am chasing behind you at 199. I don't think I have been under 200lbs since high school. Remember that injury is an opportunity to find another cross training exercise that won't hurt the injury.

Alex and Bob great job on the weight loss!  I keep wondering if I will get below 200, but seem to be stuck around 210.  Although I have decided just to focus on exercising and not worry about weight.  

Charles great job on the race!  Congrats!  

You are the man.  Keep it up and thanks for the encouragement!

Morning Everyone - I survived the campout and now I need to go to work!  Ugh - 34 days of school and COUNTING.

Will catchup on the posts later - but it looks like everyone had a pretty great weekend!  Way to go Charles on your race - I look forward to reading the race report when I get home tonight!

April's Goals

Hey everyone, I am still alive...here is what has been happening.

• Neck/should -still bugging me, still waiting to get in to see neurologist.
• Work-went from 3 days a week from home to 5 days in office-depressing to say the least.
• sump pump died in basement....water in basement. no more cycle trainer until all repairs done--carpet/drywall/paint etc. Garage full of basement stuff.
• weather-freaking snowfall warning, up to 6" of snow. 
• Positive: had a great time at the Alzheimer's Pro-am hockey tourney
• been gettting a bit more biking in...kind of!
• Been enjoying all the positives from everyone one here! Good to see success!

At least there are some positives!  Have you done any cross-country skiing?  Several of my local bike clubs arrange for that during the winter, as a cross-training workout.

Basement water always sucks.  I'd recommend going to a tile floor and area rugs - you can find them made of olefin, which can be bleached and steam-cleaned, and is basically soft and indestructible.  That way, you can have them commercially cleaned if they ever get wet and moldy (or worse) and the title floor will laugh off water.  Carpet in the basement basically begs for low-level mold due to moisture given off by concrete, even in a dry climate.

Good luck with the repairs.

C'mon summer!
