Unauthorized Rest Day (aka: Hangover)


<--- Trying to catch up on my sleep while Amber rides her horse. Yesterday (29 Aug 08), Jake Huber and I danced with the "Nasty Girls". The girls (aka: the WOD) were: For time, 50 air squats, 7 muscle ups, 10 hanging power cleans (135lbs) x 3 iterations. Of course, we did the alternate exercises for the muscle ups, which were 21 kipping pull ups and 21 ring dips. Jake and I are unable (never say can't) to do muscle ups yet. So, we did 50 squats, 21 pull ups, 21 dips, and 10 HPCs x 3 iterations. O' Yeah - we used 95lbs instead of 135lbs. We were a little unsure whether we'd make three iterations using 135lbs. Next time... Now, my dips are getting better. I can actually do ring dips. However, I had to switch to negative ring dips (jump up and slowly lower yourself down) for the second and third iterations. I was smoked. Jake switched to the stationary dip bars halfway through the first round. I think "the girls" kicked his butt too. Jake completed the WOD in 29:00. I finished in 29:04.


Today, I took the day off because I went to a party last night and consumed to much beer and pork. My boss smokes his own pulled pork, ribs, etc. He's from St. Louis, which he claims is the BBQ capitol of the world. I always thought the South had the best pork. I guess not because his BBQ is the "bomb"! Anyway, I'm taking the entire day to hydrate and prepare for tomorrow's WOD. Plus, I've got my kids this weekend. Hopefully, I can convince Jesse to do the WOD with me tomorrow.
