Rich’s Broomstick Mile — a joy from start to finish! (Well, nobody actually said it that way.) Still, shared misery is a great motivator!
We’re off to CA to attend a CrossFit Kids Certification this weekend but Kirk will be bringin’ the pain (um, we mean exercise) until Tuesday. Remember, if you want to attend a 6am Monday class, let Kirk know by posting in Comments.
And, here is simple genius mixed with hops: Beer Haiku Daily. Life is good.

Thank you all for the birthday wishes. Who’s next? Hope you all enjoyed the WOD as much as I did.
@Kirk, Now that MOP is off to learn how to punish, i mean introduce your kid to CF lets get back to some normal?? CF WOD’s.

Kathrine – glad you stopped by yesterday. I did go this am & Kirk kicked my butt! I hope that arabic exam went well last night! You’ll be happy to know that the cookies were gone before I even came out of the locker room!! They did leave me the cakes though…
October 10th, 2008 at 10:08 am
cookies,cakes…What’s next, cupcakes?
October 10th, 2008 at 11:21 am
Next up? Well… we did learn last night that David’s birthday was a few weeks ago, I suggested a belated birthday workout.
October 10th, 2008 at 11:43 am
@Nate, you forgot to mention that we got to run more at the 6
@Rich, I thought the workout was great! I hope we get a octogenarian to join soon. Would love to see that birthday workout. What’s a MOP?

@David, With love and affection our Mother Of Pain Lis earned that nickname (and she loves it).
What is an octogenarian?
@Nate, AGGRESSIVE !!!! I like it. Looking for more birthdays, thats like asking for more wallballs. May I have more please?
October 10th, 2008 at 1:17 pm
Correction: Mistress of Pain.
I’d much rather be thought of as your mistress than yo’ mama . . .
October 10th, 2008 at 1:20 pm
And wait, did Rich just ask for MORE wallball?
You know I LOVE wallball!
October 10th, 2008 at 2:40 pm
I still prefer “Evil Overlord of Exercise” – but MOP does acronymize rather neatly.
October 10th, 2008 at 5:35 pm
I’M COMING HOME NOVEMBER 1ST!!
we should work out or something…
October 10th, 2008 at 7:20 pm
Hey Guys, did we have a workout to celebrate the millennium?
@Rich, octogenarian is someone in their 80’s.
Cheers

October 11th, 2008 at 5:22 pm
*whispers* Psst… I know another Crossfitter that had a birthday in the past few days, but I got yelled at last time I opened my mouth…
@Kathrine- I went to the first night of the Rock and Shock Festival last night: August Burns Red, Between the Buried and Me, The Black Dahlia Murder, Children of Bodom. Uploading videos to YouTube as we speak!
October 11th, 2008 at 9:54 pm

Janice and Jill have birthdays this month, am I right? (Oh, don’t make me be official and go look it up! Besides, I’m still in Cali.)
Hey, here’s an idea: let’s just add all the birthday numbers up and make a team WOD for everybody else in the month of Sept.
So, fess up you birthday boys and girls!
October 12th, 2008 at 10:36 am
Nice to meet you David! Thanks 4 the great workout guys, I miss my WOD’s!!
@ Chris- I did the math and suprisingly that sheet was almost dead on for me….
210 for my 1 rep max….
did 175 for my 5 rep max…about 83%….
How did it work out for you?
October 12th, 2008 at 11:40 am
Hey everyone, if you plan on coming to the 6 am on Monday, let me know on the blog at some point today. I’ll check back Sunday night to see if we have any takers. If not, I’ll be there at 6 pm Monday, as well.
October 12th, 2008 at 2:19 pm
Yes Lis, your correct. I turned 17 on the 10th. I can’t wait to pick your brain about the crossfit kids – hopefully you picked up some good stuff that I can try to incorporate with my club & college kids. Maybe we can have you as a guest MOP one day!!!
October 12th, 2008 at 5:38 pm
Kirk…
Thanks so much for keeping the big CFW machine running while the MOP is away…the weekends are a great time to workout for me and its great to have that SAT/SUN combo available…Katherine, always a blast to be able to workout with you!!!!!!
October 13th, 2008 at 9:19 am
I agree with you Sue, the weekend was quite fun (well Sunday anyway, can’t speak for Saturday.) See y’all tomorrow.
October 13th, 2008 at 9:38 am
@Kathrine- The last set where I was able to do the full five reps was at 270. My one-rep max is 315 so that comes to about 85%. Check.
October 13th, 2008 at 7:58 pm
I’m almost afraid to admit that my birthday is this Thursday. NO WALLBALL!
