Hangover WOD 20130223

Had an AWESOME bro night with Steven, Samson, AJ, Mark, and Dek... All you can eat sushi at Mido Sushi, sake bombs, shots, beer, and SCRUB theme night. Who gets a picture with the head sushi chef, PANCHO?! Us, duh. I was nothing short of WASTED. My brother is the king of making stupid, painful, and useless drinking games, yet... we all play. I don't remember parts of the night but I do remember crashing a PASA party in scrubs, playing a stupid beer-beer-shot...

Plantar Fasciitis and my morning WOD 20130222

Officially woke up with what I believe is plantar fasciitis. I could barely walk on right foot, taking gambit out was extremely painful so I just wanted to verify the symptoms online and YUP, Dr Google says it's plantar fasciitis. I've felt this before when I did Tough Mudder back in 2011. I definitely tried to avoid some running into the WOD today so I could just stretch out my calves and kinda take it easy on my feet.

3 Part WOD 20130221

With only a few hours of sleep last night I'm happy I even got thru the workout today. I was lucky enough to go with my brother, Dek, because he stepped his game up today, which made me level up today too! I was originally going to only do two parts for the WOD today but I was definitely pushed to do the WOD he did last night with Steven Tran "The Truth". Let's just say having a partner (that wants to better themselves or compete with you) to workout with is the best way to level up. With that being said... Part I: Cycle 5k warm up pace...

Squats w 'Grace' - WOD 20130218

After feeling under the weather (again) this past weekend, I wanted to wake up my legs and get the blood flowing through my body again. I was excited to hear that my brother, Dek, hit up "Linda" again and beasted it in 26 mins! Not Rx'd but still a hell of an effort! Definitely motivated me to get some rest and get better to take on a girl today. On another note, I got my CrossFit level 1 cert today in the mail!! WOD 20130218 Part I: Row for...

Spartan Sprint 2013 - Arizona

Had an awesome time with my boys, Arvin, BBrain, and Dek, as we did the Spartan Sprint they held in Arizona. It was a 4.7 mile trail/obstacle course that was just freakin terrible! My knees and ankles definitely had a beating and the hot tub was calling our names that night. Some of the  memorable obstacles were the 6 then 7 and 8 foot wall we had to climb over. I was proud of my performance that I only had to do burpees at one station which...
