open redo


i've been missing friday night club the past few weeks so i figured i'd better get my ass back there!  great group as always!!   really good to see little bro again !!


and then there was 'the wedding'.  what a kerfuffle!  i even got my stoopid hair straightened! haaa!  i borrowed a dress from lori and shoes from one of corinne's daughters (thank gawd for friends and clients) and that was about all i needed.   i supposed i looked alright, but i felt like a clown!   i couldn't wait to get home and back into my joe boxers ...

lisa and sara looked HOT !


ahaa!    that's more like it !


 mrs. p looked gorgeous and poopy pants stole the show with her little flowered dress!!


and as for sonia - the bride - she was stunning!


my favorite sister and the redhead were in town last week so i drove to the patch for a visit.  check out how big my grand-niece jayden is getting!!!


my brother and my favorite sister ...


my favorite sister ...


and the redhead!   what a maroon!


LOVE this kid!


great shot of the 3 of us !!


last thursday our club hosted a small comp  called the open redo.  3 VERY short workouts taken from this year's crossfit open.   here's up and coming beast kim p doing a snatch!  she eventually pr'd at 120lbs!  holy fuck!


and her partner kim nelson ...



my two favorite buddies!  (ya, we're going to hell)


actually, i think we're ALL going to hell, and fig's driving the bus ...



toni (with an i) and lisa


oh ya!  check out fig - way to work that snatch !!


 haaa!   hanging out with toni (with an i)


my awesome partner sara !



and the ever popular fucker - father jimmy!


so i had a fun evening hanging out with everyone, but i must say that i prefer the regular comps.  this one lasted less than 3 hours and  i think i only worked out for a total of 5 minutes.   thanks to alex for hosting, but i'm positive that he could put on a much better event.

and my little buddy shar sent me this pic.  apparently it just showed up in her garden ...


love it !

hanging out with kathy in fort lauderdale

 oh ya!   flew into fort lauderdale last monday to meet up and train with kathy for a few days!   she's doing the crossfit games ya know!  she'd been down there for a month and i decided to go down and join her!


the box we're training at is run by steven and heidi bowser - broward crossfit and sports performance facility and what an amazing place! 


the 5 days is a blur!  we basically did crossfit and ate the entire time!   i fucking LOVED it!  kathy spent some time out by the pool sunbathing, but it was way too hot for me!  talk about hoomidity!  ugh!  the last day i did a 23min workout and sweated for 23min after.  and i don't just mean sweat, i mean it looked like i was standing under a shower!  awesome!

here are a few pics ...


power snatches



this little guy was incredible!!!  2 years old and already kicking butt!  


we got to play with the stones!


 lots of power cleans ...


this is billy!  one of the trainers ...


 what a sweetie!


 aha!  i've fallen and i can't get up !!


we got to do some sled pulls!


 and my favorite - the prowler !!!


this is heidi - so kool !!!!!  i think she's injured just about every part of her body yet she still kicks ass!


some shots from the 'dirty thirty' ...


this is carl - he is ADORABLE!



 and of course, just to mess with me, we had to do an interval workout on - dadadadada - the fucking airdyne!   nooooooo!   i thought i was done with this thing ...


best horror face EVER !!!


 haaaaa!   check out steve in the pink hat!  he's like the florida version of alex - pretty much says whatever's in his head, no filter, regardless of outcome!   awesome!!


i must say - i had a blast!  living the life of leisure suited me and i sure didn't want to come home!!   i was exhausted and quite happy to put my feet up once i made it back to the treehouse.



and as for kathy - badkat - i know she's going to be incredible at the games!  she is strong, she is fit and she is ready!   good luck my friend - leave it all out on the floor!
