Fitness-9/9-Rest Day

Wednesday

I was feeling it today after the workout on Tuesday. Even though I got a couple decent workouts in on my trip, I still only had a handfull in the 12 days I was away. And after really going after it on my first day back in the gym, my body is sore. Especially, surprisingly, my lats/upper back from the chest-to-bar pull-ups. They are literally painful to the touch. Haven't had soreness like that in some time. So, Wednesday became a rest day. The body needed it. And I'll use this "rest" post to alert you to an awesome development: The 2010 CrossFit Games have just been announced!

They will take place July 16-18, 2010 at "The Ranch" down in Aromas, California. This is exciting news as our current programming at Jogo is aimed towards the games, the competitions leading up to them, and ultimately, this one weekend in Aromas. There will be more steps necessary this year to qualify, a.k.a. more sectional/regional competitions in order to make it to California. But what a radical challenge. Talk about motivation to train hard, eat smart, and rest well. Here it is. I'm absolutely stoked. Go here to find out more.

  1. I just got butterflies reading this post and thinking about next year's CrossFit Games. I'm already giddy and jacked up about it. 10 months and counting baby.
