Greg and Jill in the 6am workout today. Hmmm. Wonder what that could be?
We never drank coffee before, but based on this study, we think it’s time to try lots of it!
In other news, work continues at our new location (across the street from our current location — and still in the fabulous Old Pin Shop in beautiful Oakville!) Here, we see the reworking of our new “cloak room” (memories of a Catholic school education!) where you’ll have the room to hang your coat or bag, and even hang out, take a seat, pop open your laptop, or watch the WOD while you’re waiting for your class to begin.

Oh my GOD!! It looks like a burpee deadlift WOD!! And on the day where my neck can barely move and my right arm is having trouble lifting — does anyone else from the sunday workout feel like they got jumped?
maybe my lesson learned is when your 1rep PR on a HPC is 73lbs then when a metcon includes 7 HPC you don’t put on 65lbs and go….

I smell burpee/deadlift…yipee! I really hope I can make it in tonight.

Lis Darsh has made my day!
January 19th, 2009 at 10:51 am
Greg’s tip of the day from the 6 am WOD: Save the mixed grip for your last round of DLs. It’s like lifting air
January 19th, 2009 at 11:27 am
I wonder if Chris likes this WOD?
January 19th, 2009 at 11:43 am
Maybe Chris just fell asleep at work on the keyboard… 1 finger on the shift and the other on the #1.
January 19th, 2009 at 12:00 pm
Can’t wait to redo that workout when I have some control over my lumbar curve!!
Lis & Greg–I know you’ve spent the morning very concerned butfound my ear thingy…think it was in my sweatshirt sleeve. All of a sudden it appeared on the pool deck!!
January 19th, 2009 at 12:09 pm
@Jill – whew… I was looking into a private investigator but I can stop now. Glad they turned up.
January 19th, 2009 at 12:43 pm
DAMN! I have to miss Burpee/Deadlift day!!!! I’ll have to do it this weekend. This is Jackson’s first day at Day Care so our schedule is changing a bit. I’ll see you guys tomorrow.
@Chris. Try not to smile too much today. There are tons of muscles in your face and it might tire you out before the WOD.
January 19th, 2009 at 12:57 pm
Listen, guys. It’s not like I LOVE deadlifting and burpees or anything. I’m just excited to do a Monday WOD. Yeah, that’s it…
January 19th, 2009 at 1:16 pm
Too late Chris… we know what you dream about at night now.
January 19th, 2009 at 1:27 pm
Chris you are a sick man….
January 19th, 2009 at 1:41 pm
Hmmm. Maybe we could throw something extra into the WOD for Chris: Like a 20 second Time Out Chair. He has to stop what he’s doing for a full 20 seconds, and then can resume. Sort of like tying Barry’s arm behind him during dodgeball.
Or wait, maybe we should blindfold Chris . . .
January 19th, 2009 at 1:42 pm
And Jill — THANK you! I am so relieved. I was really stressed about your lost headband. I guess I can stop knitting the replacement one now.
January 19th, 2009 at 1:45 pm
Lis – before you stop knitting… how far did you get? If you did enough knitting for 1 ear, we can combine it with the knitting I got done. Maybe there is enough for Jill to have an extra pair.
January 19th, 2009 at 1:57 pm
Does Jill have a pair already?
Somehow, I didn’t think so.
January 19th, 2009 at 2:15 pm
Lions, tigers and pairs, oh my!
January 19th, 2009 at 2:28 pm
Lis posted a few days ago about the CFW community and this comment board is a shining example for humanity as to how much our community cares for the well being of one another. If you lost a headband at a “globo” would they start knitting a replacement headband for you? The answer my friends is a resounding “no”! When our forefathers brought forth on this continent a new nation some four score and 20 years ago, they were on to something when they said, “No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.” The last thing we want are excessive Emoluments.”
Must stop brain atrophy….

Time Out Chair? Lis is trying to kill me…
January 19th, 2009 at 3:21 pm
@ Chris – I think she’s just trying to protect you from yourself.
January 19th, 2009 at 3:47 pm
My mom did crochet me one when she didnt to quit smoking…then she took it up again so I’ve been waiting for years!!!
January 19th, 2009 at 8:34 pm
BAH. 10 more pounds and less than optimal sleep the night before made this one way tougher than last time. I know I was rounding big time today.
January 19th, 2009 at 10:19 pm
Yeah…I still hate it too!!!
January 19th, 2009 at 10:23 pm
Ha.. less than optimal sleep. Did you hear that Jill? Chris (from the evening class) is talking about less than optimal sleep. Just busting your balls Chris. See you guys probably at the Wed night workout.
January 19th, 2009 at 10:40 pm
I’ve drank 7+ cups of coffee before and never even come close to hallucinating. Although I did meet a midget that would help me urinate every 15 minutes.
January 20th, 2009 at 6:11 am
Lis – cant move my knee this morning. Be there tomorrow
