It seems like the last few days have flown by. I haven't been able to keep up to be honest. I could write pages about the football game on Saturday but I won't. For those of you that don't know my Cornhuskers put the fight to #7 Texas Tech. They should have won, but lost in overtime. I was proud. They dealt with adversity and came back swinging. If they keep it up the rest of the season you will be seeing an upset or two. As far as a workout, we did a team workout and everything felt good.
Sunday was a rest day for Crossfit. After going to Matthew's football game we got to meet Jack Robert Gill (my brand new nephew). This was the first time that my kids remember really being around a baby. It was neat to see them playing together. Of course it made mama sad to realize just how big her kids are getting.
Monday was parent teacher conferences. Both kids are doing great. The crossfit workout involved Deadlifts and Thrusters. I didn't go. Parent teacher conferences wouldn't allow it, but I would be a liar if I said I would have gone otherwise. I just don't know if I am ready yet. I don't want to slip. Tuesday was a day to work on something you need to work on. I saw two people do their first muscle ups. It was exciting, and yet sort of a downer. I hope to get there someday, but I have to take baby steps first. I worked on some core exercises (it should help with my back). Just for the fun of it I tried a kipping pullup with no band. I am getting close. I think I can get there with a little more work and a little less weight.
Today was 30 Burpee Power Cleans (155#/100#) I scaled with 99lbs. I really fought myself not to add weight. I finished in 6:50? I didn't ask for time, but based on others that was it. I knew afterward I could have done more so I continued until the last person was finished. I got another 6. I was worried about the burpees on my back and Joe said I was on the verge of a snake, so I was careful. It was the the Cleans though that I felt. Not that they hurt, but I could feel them. I don't feel sore, but I might have if I added weight. Taking it slow is killing me.

Hey Jim,
Big congrats on your new nephew. That sounds very exciting. My wife has been trying to hold me off as far as the kids catagory goes and I think I almost have that wall tore down. I kinda feel like Reagan " Mrs Dausy tear down that wall!!". She wants to wait until she's done with school and I can respect that especially since I'm not the one having to be pregnant for nine months.
Awesome news about your kipping pull ups sounds like your really close. Dude thirty burpee power cleans sound intense.
We had company in town for an extended weekend and had a blast out on the boat. My wife and I ended up taking three days off of cross fitting. I didn't realize it would rock us that much when we returned yesterday holy cow!!! I think next time we'll wake up real early barring we don't have a KING KONG size hang over(which is always a possibilty) and do our work out before anyone gets up. Alright dude have a good week. Oh and I'm looking foward to your next entry it might be the one when you say I just got my first kipp. Your close.
