A Series of Fortunate Events

Ok so here is a quick run down of the day.

1) Last day of ORI so work was pretty good and went really quick.
2) Stopped to test drive a Mini Cooper S on the way home. That was a blast. The S is a very fast car and I thoroughly enjoyed going from 0 - 75 in like no time. Fun to try, not so fun to buy. This seems like a mid-life crisis type of purchase.
3) Came home and got to talk to my wife for a while before I headed to the CF gym
4) Got a new crossfit shirt, did a pretty sweet workout, and did a ton of muscle ups throughout the workout. It was grand.
5) Went to get dinner while the laundry was in the washer. Used an expired by one get one free coupon but the manager said it was fine. In addition, I had a free meal on my Qdoba card I did not know about so I got two free meals.

So overall, pretty good day in my books. Hope tomorrow is just as good.

Pretty Decent Day

Quick day at work. Got trained on the M-35 which is a 2.5 ton 6x6 utility truck. Its huge! But I got to drive on the highway and go off roading with it so that was pretty sweet. Then I came home, went running and do a little workout over at the lake. After that I came home and made dinner. Played some Xbox for like the first time a a week or so. Tomorrow is the last day of our inspection so it should be a good day even though it might be a long one.

Great day

First off I just have to say that I am like a gosh darn Navy SEAL and and Olympic gold medalist wrapped in some freaking body armor, I mean I am elite because I do crossfit. Here is the link for that reference http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsTbas5NgF0. But really Crossfit today was legit, I did two workouts. The first one was As Many Rounds As Possible (AMRAP) in 20 minutes of 2 muscle ups, 4 hand stand pushups, and 8 two pood KB swings. I had to scale the muscle ups to 3 dips and 3 pullups per muscle up. Then I did 4 rounds for time of 10 OH squats, 10 knees to elbows (KTE) and 5 KB figure 8s to hold. This was a new workout to me but the figure 8s were pretty cool, definitely a new KB workout for me. It felt really good to get a couple tough workouts in. Afterwards I tried to be healthy and got  a subway sandwich.

Work was really good today. I had a lot of good talks with my troops and they taught me a lot about how to treat them to gain their respect and not piss them off. It was some really good info. The day went quicker than that last couple perhaps due in part to the fact that I tried to do most of the work today. Obviously though there were quite a few times when I could not do much and had to let on of my other guys work the issue. At any rate, really good day, I am pretty tired but that is how it should be.

I am ready for my wife to be here again but I will just have to make it another 2 weeks.
