A bike ride. A discussion of some health problems that have hit hard this week.

Matt Baldwin — Sun, 23 May 2010 04:44:40 +0000

CrossFit Asheville made a great showing at the Southeast Warrior Dash 2010, in Mountain City, GA. In terms of overall results, I placed 15th in my age group (among the Saturday racers), and 247th overall… out of 5455 contestants (that’s top 5%)!

The Sugars

200 meter sprints, plus push-ups, burpees, and squats. Loads of fun. A solo workout at the UNCA track.

Epic Excess

Another cheat day leads me out of the Paleo-Zone and into the land of excessive sugar consumption.

The “Paleo” Cheat Day (Coco-Cocoa-Banana Pudding Recipe)

Matt Baldwin — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 04:47:24 +0000

An experimental recipe for a pretty tasty Paleo "Coco-Cocoa-Banana-Pudding" creates a great opportunity for overeating and storing a few extra calories as fat.

I tried and failed to work out on Saturday. Briefly, this post explains why.

Purposive Cheating

Another planned cheat day reminds me of the purpose of cheating on purpose.

Zeno’s Revenge

Matt Baldwin — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 15:59:45 +0000

We meet up outside at UNCA to do "Run for your Legs," a WOD which, at first glance, looked like it had the potential to be a CrossFit version of Zeno's paradox. Start a clock, run 1 mile for time, only you have to stop every 2 minutes to do 20 squats. Later during the day, I overindulged quite deliberately in a cheat day that reminded me why I try to eat healthy most of the time.

Saturday, Halloween, was a rest and a cheat day. Sunday is a rest day and a weigh in day. Time to assess the damage and/or successes of the week.
