fight gone bad

aha!  i've fallen and i can't get up!   see, i do stretch once in awhile ...

friday night club from a week ago.  looks like jay has a big nasty hillbilly beard!

one of the best fnc pics EVER!  'face first in the shitter' ...

kathy and the adorable anthony got a hold of my camera ...

columbine in palgrave ...

sigh

'what' ...

so green !

trying out my montrails ...

aha!  sending a pair of totally smelly sox to the redhead for his birthday!!!!  i even took my shoes off and stomped through a few puddles just to make sure they got REAL muddy!

overheads!

and by the time i remembered to take the fnc picture everybody else had left!

i saw this lovely lady on the rail trail saturday!  she was pretty huge and looking like she'd take my foot off if i got too close ...

i know, one of these days i'm going to really get hurt trying to take pics while riding my bike ...

sunday was 'fight gone bad' day at crossfit!   i almost didn't make it - the goose crossing on parr blvd was taking a long time!

one minute of box jumps

push press

wallballs - this was BEFORE jason i chipped a tooth doing highpulls !

ewwww!  rowing!   i hate rowing!

when the dust settled and scores were tallied, i had 279.  i've done better, but not bad for a sunday!  thanks for the push jay!

and i've said it before - LOVE this chick!

i finished off the day with a sweet 14+k run in palgrave.  guess i should have been paying closer attention though - did an awesome face plant over gawd knows what ...

no harm done, and now, gotta get ready for a krazy couple of days next weekend - cycle for sight (toronto to collingwood) ride on saturday and then the spartan race with my ghetto girls on sunday ...

oh, and i know he's been gone 10 years, but i still miss him.   happy fathers' day dad ...

congratulations fucker!

crossfit bolton's very own 'father jimmy' recently competed at the 2013 canada east regionals in mississauga.  me and thomas headed down on the saturday to watch wods 4 and 5.   i like to call this picture the calm before the storm.

can you say diabolical - 100 wallballs, 100 chest-to-bar pullups, 100 pistols and 100 one-arm DB snatches - with a 25min time cap ...

and we always look forward to that moment when the shirt comes off ...

other members from cfb were there, including my amazing lifting partner sara and the adorable little 'baby P'.  check out the shirt ...

and our fave announcer jamie was in fine form!

wod 5 was heavy deadlifts and box jumps.  jimmy did amazing, winning his heat!

 overhead squats from day one ...

and thrusters (ew) also from day one ..

anyway, so proud of him - 24th in canada east!   awesome job fucker!

i just had to include this pic of tone - it was taken last weekend while he and a bunch of the frontrunners were out in cape breton running the cabot trail ..

miss lilian has pretty much moved in and taken over the treehouse ...

can't remember which day exactly, but a view from one of my runs in the forest last week !

and check out the kool t-shirt i got from lift big eat big ...

friday night club!

my run from saturday.   holy honeysuckle ...

put in a relaxed 90 min before the skeeters chased me back to my car!

and finally, finished up the weekend with an 86k ride on the giant.  trying to get ready for my trek from toronto to collingwood in three weeks with the invincible michael ovens of cycle for sight fame!  i swear the wind was in my face the entire way, despite changing directions numerous times!  AND i got pissed on royally just as i was descending the big hill on mountainview!   for gawd sakes!

but, gotta LOVE the misfit psycles darth vader shirt ...

so now, a little relaxin on the deck with miss lilian ...

finally - spring - i think ...

i'm not running much right now - stoopid calcaneal bursitis!  me and the moose have been working on it, but it's taking awhile to get it under control.   soooooooooo,  it's back to the giant ...

partly a good thing i guess, seeing as how i have to ride my bike from downsview to collingwood end of june - drat you michael ovens - and haven't really been putting in much saddle time ...

and so thank gawd i got my 2 1/2 hour ride in on saturday - as we faced THIS shit on sunday!  for fuck sakes!

forget which day this was, but almost drove into the back of a car trying to get THIS pic as i was heading into work the other morning - love kreepy sky sunrises ...

haa!  friday night club!  185lb deadlifts and box jumps!  great workout!  really good group and fed brought his (95lb) puppy! even the beautiful sonia made her 'once a month' appearance! 

wahoo!  finally did some legit rope climbs on saturday!  they were FUN!  made sure to put on the 'munchkin' sox so i wouldn't burn off my tatts ...

LOVE this chick!  and check out her adorable husband photobombing us!  excellent!  hahahaa!

*sigh*  tis the season of full bloom for the cra-bapples!   my favorite tree ...

and finally, not sure what this is all about, but the little redhead is sporting the 'mad scientist' look !
