“May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art -- write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.”
― Neil Gaiman

Now for the fun part, what is the first WOD of 2012?
20 Min AMRAP:2 Rounds of "Cindy" (5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups, 15 squats equals 1 round)1 Round of "DT" (12 deadlifts, 9 hang power cleans, 6 push jerks @ 155#/105#)



Nothing like a good suffer fest to break in the new building.


Had to go lower than RX (135lbs) otherwise, I'll be stuck at "DT" longer than necessary.


"People think it's an obsession. A compulsion. As if there were an irresistible impulse to act. It's never been like that. I chose this life. I know what I'm doing. And on any given day, I could stop doing it. Today, however, isn't that day. And tomorrow won't be either." - Identity Crisis



"Bruce: This can't be real
Ego: Reality isn't the issue. Whether this is happening in the far reaches of space... or on the head of a pin is irrelevant. what you need to know is... I WILL NOT be dismissed." Batman: Ego

[At Bruce's parents' grave]
"It doesn't mean I don't care anymore. I don't want to let you down, honest, but... but it just doesn't hurt so bad anymore. You can understand that, can't you? Look, I can give money to the city - they can hire more cops. Let someone else take the risk, but it's different now!
[thunder and lightning]
Please! I need it to be different now. I know I made a promise, but I didn't see this coming. I didn't count on being happy."



Batman: "I tried to save you."

Catwoman: "Seems like every woman you try to save ends up dead... or deeply resentful....Maybe you should retire."

I know I have not posted for a bit. The training has intensified and i have been killing the workouts.

I did two WOD's today. "Mary'' 7 rounds and change in the morning and "Cindy" w a 15-20 pound loaded backpack. 16 rounds plus change. Both were 20 min AMRAP.

Time for hill sprints. I will update when I can.

Believe.

WOD: "Exploding 15's" (side note - I can't believe I actually named this WOD and thought it was cool - it's from way back in 2009)

"It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power."


-Alan Cohen





"There's no better place to search for hope than the future; a concept that gives everyone in existence a reason to live."

"He understood how Skywalker was getting stronger. Why he no longer spoke. How he had become a machine of battle. He understood why Sidious had been so interested in him for so long.

Skywalker was a natural.

There was a thermonuclear furnace where his heart should be, and it was burning through the firewalls of his Jedi training. He held the Force in the clench of a white-hot fist. He was half Sith already, and he didn't even know it.

This boy had the gift of fury."


Leave nothing. **** impossible.





"Blessed with no sense of time, the crow can live simultaneously in the past, present and future. With such freedom, a being can freely navigate between the worlds of light and darkness. It takes such a mystical and cosmic perspective to 'create the world', which is what the crow accomplished in the belief system of the Athapaskan people in Alaska. His special talents are equally required to lead souls on their final journey through the darkness. "
