London Quilt

Here is a pix of the quilt I made for J and T while they were here. It is on an earlier post, but this one shows it on their actual London bed!!!

This past week....

major busy week at work... but pretty satisfying!!!

pretty busy fitness week as well...

Crossfitted 4 times - and the highlight was yesterday when I attacked Michael again and bested my time by 1 minute 20 seconds! To remind those interested...

Michael

3 rounds for time of

800 m run

50 back extensions

50 sit ups

It is one of the few WODs I can do in the prescribed way. So I am still on the board and proud of it!!!

Here is my team crossfittin'

http://www.crossfitvallejo.com/

I took my work team to CrossFit for a team build. Li and Phil at CF gave us a private lesson and developed a WOD for us. It was great fun and everyone was a good sport about it although some kept up better than others. We went to lunch after and then we all called it a day.

I did get worried later in the day ... thinking that I may have wiped out my team in just two hours...so I called them all. I couldn't reach one in particular and got really worried as he was struggling a bit after the WOD. Anyway, he finally called me back - he had gone home and taken a nap!

They recovered and some are even interested in joining! Passin on the CF cheer.

mano mano

It has been a long time since I posted...as Goldie has been quick to point out...not that she is hot and heavy with the postings either but I am accountable.

February - bit of a hectic month but not a hecka lot to show for it. I was crossfittin at a regular clip until I hit a week of travel. First week I missed since October so actually not bad at all. Back at it this past week - and last night did a grueling WOD of 5 rounds of up n back lunges while holding a 9 lb bar bell and 21 burpees. Did it in about 24 minutes which beat some of those that did it the same way. hurting tho. doesn't help that I am a bit under the weather.

I have a big week coming up... going to interviews that will get me into a program that could eventually get me into a different job (District Manager - better bonus - better pay - fewer stores -more direct leadership). That happens on Wednesday. Then Wed night I go to a dinner and Thurs to a meeting with a diversity group that I am on. At the dinner and meeting are some of the folks that will have interviewed me so if I bomb, that will be a bit uncomfortable. I am thinking it would be better not to bomb so as to avoid the uncomfortableness altogether.

will let you know.
