How about them Beavs!


Once again the Beavs knock off USC! This time the Trojans were ranked #1 and once again the Beavs beat 'em. Man it was a good game. I have to be honest and say there was a point when I was worried that the beavs were not going to be able to hold on to the win but they did it. Sure wish I was still in Corvallis. Man it is going to be one big party in C-town tonight! Here is a picture from the wedding. The reception was at the football stadium and I was able to get down onto the field for some pictures. You can't tell but I am still in my heels!

It was hard to leave the northwest. It is just a pretty time of year and I miss all of my friends. They are such great people and I am lucky to have them in my life. I was able to go on a few hikes, pick chanterelles, and enjoy some good wine. All in all a great trip.

While I was in Oregon the diet was not too bad. I tried to stick with at least two Zone meals. I didn't drink as much as I thought I was going to so that was good. My weight didn't fluctuate too much. Nothing more then a crazy weekend down here. So I consider that a huge accomplishment.

Now I'm back in SD. Glad to be home to sleep in my own bed (even though the air mattress that Steph set up for me was comfy) and happy to spend time with Max. I sure did miss him while I was gone. Also bad to the gym. There were a few workouts that I was bummed to miss while I was gone and a few that I was just fine missing. It feels really good to be back at it full time.

Here are the last two WOD's
Wednesday: With the clock running do one pull-up one minute, two pull-ups at two minutes and so forth. Do kipping until failure and then switch to jumping. Go until you can not get the necessary amount. I was able to get to 9 kipping and then 33 jumping. It made a big difference when Andy pulled some plates off of my box. I had to use my upper body a lot more and couldn't rely on my legs.

Thursday: Max effort for 30 seconds of push-up's, sit-up's and turkish get-ups. Rest 2 min
Max effort for 1 min ".....". Rest 1:30 min
Max effort 1:30 min "......". Rest 1 min
Max effort 2 min "......". Rest 30 seconds
My numbers were 22-15-3, 23-30-8, 24-45-9, 30-55-12
I am glad to see that I was able to increase my number for push-ups each time. I am getting stronger here and it feels good to see that improvements.
