Remember drumstick ice cream cones?
Well those crafty ice cream makers came out with new ones, with different kinds of filling.
You can buy a box and they have drumsticks with caramel and chocolate oozing in the middle once you take a bite. There's even one made out of chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla.
How do I know? Because hungry fat bastard that I am, I bought some.
Yup. So much for the paleo diet. Sheesh.
My gut grows then it shrinks then it grows again. Oh man.
Breathe in. Breathe out. Ok. Start now.
No more starch, sugar or dairy. Nope.
There, that was easy.
Now then, my legs friggin hurt.
All we've been doing is air squats and they still hurt. Yesterday was "Cindy", which was 5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups and 15 air squats. After you do three rounds of that you run 200 meters.
Sounds okay right. Oh wait, did I mention that after you do the first three rounder you keep going? Yup. Just keep on going until the time expires. Ugh.
I flew through the pull-ups and push-ups but those squats were a burner. After the workout Lori tells me, "Oh those squats were the easiest part!"
Yeah, if you have legs like the Hulk and are only a flower plant from the ground then it's easy. Don't talk to me about squats Lori. The sight of you zipping up and down at light speed drove me nuts Tuesday.
Today's workout didn't look too bad either but it was frustrating. Five power cleans then 30 double unders.
The five power cleans were cake but the double unders took forever. Kehau took pity on me and loaned me her most excellent jump rope which helped me considerably. I'm going to have to get one for myself. It sort of made a difference. Instead of doing one and two and three double unders I did four and five and eight.
Yeah, gonna have to get one.
Just checked eBay and there's all kinds of stuff, leather ones for 8 bucks and more expensive Crossfit gear for $25. Gary said he got a pretty cool cable one for $15.
There's even a cool looking "Muay Thai" jump rope for $14. Yeah.
It's hard to buy something without trying it first though. Maybe a trip to Sports Authority is in order.
Whoa! Digital "ropeless" jump rope! Perfect! No more tripping on the ropes!
Ah well, I'll figure it out.
One last thing. A bunch of the RFMers are heading over to Oahu for the "Warrior Dash" in March. It's a crazy race involving crawling through the mud, jumping over fire and climbing ropes over walls.
Sweet, where do I sign up?
Late,
Rod
UPDATE*******************************
All the 9 a.m. slots are filled for the Warrior Dash. Anybody going to enter the 9:30 race from RFM? Anyone? Anyone? Who wants in on the 9:30 a.m. I Hate Cardio team? Let me know, I ain't running without some backup in my heat.

Rod you have to join the Again Faster team and get one of our ropes. I swear they're the best. They're inexpensive too. Ask Derek, Ikaika, Robert, Kristi, Carrol...we all have them.
ReplyDeleteAs far as Drumsticks go, I have those too. I knew about the new flavors long before you blogged. Get some new news, my friend.;)
Also, if you join Warrior Dash, we're that much closer to a flotilla on Oahu. And even though I'm starting at 9 a.m., I'll probably still be stuck on the barbed wire course when you start your heat at 9:30 a.m. Just join.
ReplyDeleteYou gotta love those Drumsticks - the chocolate center ones are Numero Uno! It was the last thing I ate before going to bed last night...heard they're great for sore backs!
ReplyDeleteGreat for sore backs but bad for expanding stomachs Glenn. And Kehau, old news? Your blog hasn't been updated for months!!! Slacker!!! You are now Maui's Laziest Strong Woman.
ReplyDeleteJust sign up for the 9:30 start time. Those of us starting at 9:00 will be waiting for you with big turkey drumstick in hand and viking helmets on our heads at the finish line. Oh, and if you see Kehau stuck on the barbed wire make sure you stop to help her out. ;)
