It’s “Ask me crazy questions because it’s Friday and I’m bored” day
I may have just made that up, but that doesn’t make it less true.
Murph
The friend who first introduced me to CrossFit invited me to come workout at his home gym on monday. The WOD? Murph.
For the uninitiated, Murph consists of the following:
- Run 1 mile
- 20 rounds of
- 5 Pull-ups (100 total)
- 10 Push-ups (200 total)
- 15 Squats (300 total)
- Run 1 mile
Well, it was nice knowing everyone. I’m probably going to die.
WOD 5/24/12
Ran 5k.
Or rather, I started to, until my calves cramped up and started spasming.
On the plus side, everything else felt great: no cardio problems, no ache in my lower back, nothing. I was comfortably keeping about an 8.5-min/mile pace until my calves rebelled.
I thought my legs were conditioned to my toe shoes, but I guess I was wrong. But I didn’t know that until trying this (I haven’t been running more than about a mile at a time in them yet), so at least now I know. I may need to just stick with traditional running shoes for now; I don’t know if my calves will be ready for my upcoming races with the toe shoes.
Anyone playing Diablo III?
If so and you’re up for fucking up some demons and shit some time, message me your Battle.net ID.

Hmm. Interesting thought experiment.
Maybe Obama? Just to see what it’s like to have that much responsibility and that much spotlight. No one but a president knows what it’s like to be a president.
I could probably come up with something more interesting if I thought about it for awhile, but that’s the first thing that comes to mind.
