God is really at work in our house. Not literally, just Anne and I. Scary to give a lot up for, to Him. Trusting in Him as best I can. Not quite the forum to go into details, but knowing Anne and I aren't alone on this helps.

I would say I am back but don't want to raise expectations. :). You boys are killing it!!

Have been doing various workouts with Mel before work in the mornings. But today swam at the Y near the new casa after work. They have a sweet outdoor pool. Could only get 18 min in before they closed.

Working out in the morning. Plan on doing Ridges Hawaii workout.

1500M swim, total time:  35:07
Definitely setting a new goal for a skill to master and that is not just swimming but by alternating my breathing to both sides for an entire mile. 
It's amazing how much more effecient it you are the less you come up for air.  That said today I worked on this for 1000 of the 1500 meters practicing breathing only on my left side, alternating, and even holding for every other right stroke.  My time was much faster, more exhausting but still more effecient.  I even stopped and rested for approx 40 seconds and didn't stop the clock so definitely encouraged that mastering this will help a great deal. 

1HR bike ride. 
1st time on a bike trainer and wow, much more dificult that I thought.  Even being inside the house, I sweat like a maniac and arguable more of a burn in the legs.  Excited to test out the fitting changes made on the bike. 

Saturday, I definitely spent time in the pool working on holding my breath.  I did 20 25M reps only breathing 2, sometimes 3 times for the 25M.  I rested 1 min between each rep and it took all of it for me to catch my breath.

Posting from the terminal in dfw. On my way to Hawaii. Visiting crossfit Oahu, cruising around the islands, pearl harbor, and playing 18 on an ocean view course. Rough life. I wasn't gonna bring it up, but since you did, hawaii is our plan.  Any trips to the metroplex for you guys? If you do, gotta try to swing by our box for a workout.

Today's wod

Today's WOD

21-15-9

Clean and jerk @ 135#
burpees

8:49

Oh man. Pretty tough. Got the fran cough for the better part of the rest of the morning I'm sure. Form probably took a bite on the middle round, but overall pleased. I did this one on Sunday and still feeling it -

not for time (actually just didn't time it)

1000m row
100 db single arm alternating snatches @ 50#
1000m row

So still recovering from that

@Kunkel: I like the muscle up into toes to rings transition. Do you find yourself kipping on the toes to rings? I have done them a few times, and can get about 10 in before my grip fails or I need a break or something.

@Son: Great insight on the birthday and serving/knowing a loving God. Great to know he's continually changing your heart and your perspective on life as a father and believer. I think I'm the same way; I don't see the big deal about infants birthday parties, but I probably won't comprehend it until I'm a father.

KUNKEL

Finally out of recovery mode from the weekend.  Had people at the house from wednesday to monday and I tuckered out from it.  Friday night 13 family peeps, saturday and sunday 20 peeps so was cooking axis and elk ground meat for everyone and had a grand time doing so just zapped my energy. 
Saturday got up early and ran about 5 miles then onto cooking and setting up/ taking down rest of the day. 
Monday napped 3 different times to recover. 
Today double time-
Round 1: Helen; 3 Rounds of-
400M run
21 KB swings @55#
12 pull ups

Time: 12:36

Round 2: Hanging Annie-
50,40,30,20,10 rep rounds of:
Double Unders and Toes to Bar

Time: 19:56
Straight brutal on the hands and shoulders and core. 

@Toes to Rings:  I think i'm kipping, I let my feet swing back behind me and try to throw them up to the rings while pressing against the rings with my chest while arms are locked.  It almost feels like a bouncing rythem.  I can get 30 in a row pretty good on the rings but the bar is a different beast.  The bar I can get 20 thats about it and I wont be able to repeat 20 very often in a workout. Rings I can repeat 30 pretty regularly. 

@Summer:  what's on the agenda?

KUNKEL

Getting geared up for Caleb's 1 year birthday party tomorrow and I'm actually more excited than I thought I would be.  I'm not a big birthday person so I haven't wanted to get excited about Caleb's, just struggle with the premise of making anything about him alone.  However, it has been exciting to reflect on the fact that he has survived his first year of life by the grace of GOD.  Pretty crazy how God has provided for him despite my subpar parenting skills.  I honestly can reflect on this past year and know that I would not have survived or be able to provide if God had not shown up daily.  We serve a loving God. 

Today's WOD, 5 Rounds for Time of:
800M Run
1 MU, 9 Toes to Rings w/o dropping
10 Power Snatch @75#
9 Wall Balls plus 1-2for1 @20# to 10ft

Today's

"Helen"

3 rounds for time

400m run
21 kb swings @ 53#
12 pull ups

9:26

Runs could have been faster. That's the only thing I can think of. My goal coming in was sub 9 or at least close to it. Swings and PUs all unbroken. Maybe going high rep squats hurt, but whatever, I'll take it. Im not sure of my PR. However, I have been going paleo for the past week and a half, and for some reason I expect my time's to improve across the board... not the case. Still sucking wind. Maybe its a mental hump?

@Kunkel: Seems like you haven't lost the muscle-up touch. If you have, I guarantee it won't take long to get back into the swing of that. That's cool how its turned into such a successful skill that you possess now. Have you experimented with anything else on the rings? Skin the cats, slow skin the cats, etc.

@Klint: Yes, does ring a bell... can't quite put the face to the name?

Last day of school tomorrow!

Well I promise I'm back this time, not shape wise but physically present.  Last week was brutal, after being sick i ran a few times, twice with Caleb and once solo.  My little 3.5 mile route put a wooping on me, I couldn't even finish without walking.  Quite frustrating since I've been knocking out 7 to 7:30min/ mile paces on this dang route. 
Today:  10 Rounds for time of-
12 Burpees
2 MU's, w/o dropping 10 kipping pull ups
-Was able to actually do these unbroken but man my time dropped bad, I was at 9:30 at the halfway mark. 

Time:  21:23

@Ridge:  dude you're crazy for a 60min AMRAP.  STUD
@Klint:  I'm not sure who this is you speak of... any hints?
