I feel like I'm still carrying it... LOL

After getting an estimate from a moving company, one of things that was discussed was how moving most of the weights (and anything else) from the basement to the garage could save a nice chunk of change. Taking that as a nice workout challenge, I hauled all my weights to the garage...

Been too little exercise with all the other interruptions (packing, moving, sore foot, lung congestion). Just wanted a little something to move around. Ring Chinups (false grip) as L-sits x 3 250m Row 50# Kettlebell Swings (2-hands) x 20 Ring chinups (holding 15# KB on my foot) x 3 20#...

Yesterday was mostly moving stuff around. We'd stuck a lot of stuff into a storage unit so that our condo would show better. Now we're moving everything back from storage that we want the movers to take and putting the extremely fragile glass that Penny collects (and anything else), into the...

Whether you do P90X, Crossfit, or something like Primal Blueprint, the activity will do you good!!

The saga of my sprained left foot continues to plague me. Even though it started to hurt initially from sprinting up stairs and barefoot weightlifting, I'm starting to think it could be a re-occurrence of some plantar fasciitis I experienced about 3 years ago, possibly from weak high...

What is restorative yoga?

Definitely have to change your running style away from the "traditional" heal strike method. (e.g. POSE running)

My sprained foot was still bothering me, but at least I was able to soundly sleep last night for the first time in three nights. I wanted to work with my shoulders, so I decided on doing 1/2 turkish getups I'd seen on the Pavel DVD. This way I wouldn't have to stand up like the full TGU...

I've been trying to "prep" my feet to get ready to use them. Penny said she owes me a pair for my birthday. One guy at the gym was even doing Olympic weightlifting in them. I'd like to try them for hikes on wooded (non-paved) trails.

Thanks Kathy! I've been hobbled the past two days. Been doing my barbell and kettlebell lifting barefoot and I think the new stress has gotten to my left foot. Very strained and the throbbing has woken me up in the middle of the night the past two. Last night was rough.... not so bad when...

Fish Oil isn't a panacea, but just another tool in the toolbox. Fish Oils

ummmmmm... no..

Front Squats (slow and strict) 35# Barbell x 5 (focus on lower back, bootie, and chest position) 135# x 3 (pause at the bottom) Kettlebell Swings 5 Rounds 35# KB x 20, 60 second rest Doing 100 reps was tiring.... as my cardio improves, I'd like to reduce the rest break between sets

Ouch!! Hope it's just a bit tender and not damaged. Aside from aleve or something, you might consider a few fish oil capsules a day to deal with the inflammation.... just a thought.

Doesn't Jim have a PADI Cave Instructor card from last century when PADI was involved with Cave training? IIRC, that's what he showed us at Little River a couple of years ago... gotta love history!!

We got a call last night that the owner of a "fixer upper" accepted our bid! We now have a new expensive "hobby". We close and move out of our condo on May 17th and it looks like we'll be doing the same on the new place. Not sure what we got ourselves into though! LOL

20 mile bike ride.... great time to discuss bids we've made on houses this morning and some scenarios to find the home we want.
