More insanity

Well I'm three weeks into my "base building" program for the marathon and things are going well. I've been good with taking two rest days a week, which is always a problem for me and having regular massages to loosen up the old gams. Tomorrow I'll head out for a 10 mile run (16km) and I'm looking forward to it. I love all the speed work and interval training but I really enjoy the satisfaction of a nice long run.

I've been continuing on with my CrossFit obsession and am feeling stronger than ever. If you had told me a few years ago that I would enjoy throwing myself on a dirty gym floor to do burpees I would have told you to spark up your crack pipe for another hit. Here are my most recent workouts for your entertainment.

Took the medicine ball in the face on the last workout...oh well it could have been worse, I didn't lose any teeth.
