No time for additional details, whether about empty dark streets, bunnies darting across the road, or almost puking on Edgewood, the little lost dog on College, the horrible auto accident on Hilliard, or mind-numbing pain and struggle… not even time to describe the incredible beauty of a gas-station parking lot playing Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get [...] July 31, 2010
This post is more of a placeholder than anything else. The week of July 26-31st was an active one for me. The surf was mellow, and the winds even more so, especially in the mornings. We were being visited by Kelley Droege and Sophie Beckham with their kids, so we were pretty busy with friends [...] June 26, 2010
2.8 miles, 23:15 (8:18 min/mile pace). Also: set of 10 burpees immediately followed by bleacher run (at the boathouse, same as yesterday’s round). Handstand and rolling practice in the afternoon, running around barefoot in the grass in the sunny afternoon with the kids. June 14, 2010
The surf is worthless right now: for the second day in a row winds are too high, wind waves are too high, and the swell is too big. I didn’t mind yesterday, since I was feeling sick, and was supposed to be resting anyway. Today, in spite of the fact that I’ve had, ahem, intestinal [...] May 22, 2010
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 crew from AshevilleRustan Adcock, Kim Schwartz,Britt Cannon, Matt Baldwin and Brian Cohen [...] April 12, 2010
Quick training note: Yael, Lena, Puff-baby and I did the Couch to 5k week II workout 1 on Sunday afternoon. Beautiful, gorgeous weather. 5 minute warm up walk, then 6 rounds of: 90 seconds running, 2 minutes walking — in other words, we had 19 minutes total from the first to the sixth running intervals, [...] April 9, 2010
Friday was a gorgeous day, and a pretty great workout day too. The day started early, with my usual 4:30 in the morning wake up, and 5:00 am CFA class, where we did deadlifts and a WOD called “the whip;” training continued in the afternoon, Yael and I continued our slow but steady couch to [...] April 6, 2010
My wife Yael and I finally completed the second workout of the first week in the coolrunning Couch to 5k plan, a mere ten days after our first outing! What happened? We ran on a Saturday (March 27th), and by Tuesday, Yael was stricken with strep throat. By Friday morning, I was beat down with [...] March 27, 2010
Couch to 5k training run #1, with Yael and the kids. A defense of jogging. It’s just about having fun. November 7, 2009
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. |
