My Better is Better..

..Than YOUR Better..

Another great Nike commercial..

Kip Progress..

In the meantime, I found a local school playground where I could practice my Kipping pull-ups.. the cracked, bleeding skin on my hands seems to go through phases of semi-healing, but have yet to toughen up enough for me to spend as much time as I want/need to on my Kip..

WOD today is a repeat from last month, but a gooder:

WOD

4 Rounds, for time:

Run 400m

20 Burpees

I’m at Day 34 in my “100 Day Burpee Challenge”, so I am allowing the burpees from today’s WOD to count..

I’m eating clean and lean tonight, and planning my meals for the work week, hoping to notice improvements in my recovery post-workout..

Cheers!

How Do You Train?

Inspiring Nike Commercial..

I love this commercial, it’s a great reminder that excellence in sport and fitness comes from working hard, and training day in and day out.

I’m at Day 25 of the 100-Day Burpee Challenge, and I’m happy to say that I’ve completed the burpees almost every day.. the occasional lapses in discipline were made up the day after..

As far as my nutrition goes, well, I got off to a great start but have recently suffered from a combination of too many summer barbeques and laziness in that department.. it’s amazing, though, because after I eat junk, I can feel my body craving nutrient-rich food.. I’ve noticed the difference in my training in that my energy has gone down and my recovery times have been slower.

Needless to say, it’s back on the wagon for me!

Nike “No Excuses” Commercial..

..Featuring Warhawk Matt Scott

Now how’s that for inspirational! No more excuses for me in my attempts to procrastinate from day 3 of my 100 Day Burpee Challenge (okay, 3 is pretty manageable!) or from my workout of the day.

My WOD today was simple but not easy.. never let the simplicity of the CrossFit workout fool you!

WOD

3 Rounds (for time) of:

Run 800m

100 Squats

I’m staying relatively true to a Paleo/Zone hybrid diet, with small cheats here and there. The longer I eat paleo (I hear), the less I will crave the junk/sugar that I do now.. here’s hoping!
