Monday stairs


Early dinner with Rob N. and Misato Saiki at Malaysian place on M street. Great catfish in curry sauce.


Workout.


25 min. just walking up and down the exorcist stairs with Joe.

Walk around Gtown campus and then back to the stairs for a short one:


6 times:

20 pushups

run up the stairs and back.

Sunday workout

Good CFDC workout Sunday AM. worked on clean and jerks which are an exercise I need to work on for explosive power. I think they will help with the quick burst I am trying to work on in sprinting and rugby sevens. I partnered with Tom using the B class weight.


Workout: In teams of two, complete 7 rounds of...
7 Clean & Jerks
7 Burpees
7 Pull-ups
Weight Classes for the Clean & Jerks

Men:
A = 135 lbs
B = 95 lbs
C = 75 lbs

Women:
A = 75 lbs
B = 65 lbs
C = 45 lbs

RESULTS!
Tom: 17:35
Chris R.: 19:15
David 19:50
Ben: 20:06
Mark: 22:35
Steve 22:40
Ewunike/Mike: 24:09
Maiko/Ami: 26:27


Yoga class at night. Tough after CFDC but much needed. The hips and hamstrings are getting better but still need much work.



Personally I'm always ready to learn, although I do not always like being taught.

Took these photos in the old city of Valencia, Espana last summer 8/2007. Valencia is known as the home of Paella.

If you see a difference between where you are and where you want to be, consciously change your thoughts, words, and actions to match your grandest vision. . . . It will involve . . . a massive move to consciousness. What you will find out if you undertake this challenge is that you've spent half your life unconscious.--Neal Donald Walsch

9am at the stairs with Maiko after a 6 hour happy hour at Jaleo with the folks from work. I think Jamie puked. :)

Worked all the booze out of my systems after a 7 hour sleep with..

15 times up the exorist stairs
with 10 push ups at the end of each trip up.
also added in maybe 5 sets up pullups during the workout.

We didn't go at a crazy pace but got a solid workout in for sure. Maiko did great for a newbie on the stairs.

39 min 43 seconds


we mixed it up with joggin up the stairs, sprinting, and lunge walking.

After the workout I went up to Bethesda to help Winnie train a stroke victim. My job was to lift him out of the wheelchair and into the pool.
