Lunch time
CFE run:
12 minutes, rest 2, 12 minutes. Covered 1.3 miles on the way out, 1.2 on the way back.

Felt much faster than it was! Haha! Ran out and back and had BIG hills in the little route. The biggest hill I ran down on the way out and up on the way back.

I forgot to add the part about hearing a very high pitched squeaking sound on my run...then seeing a hawk carrying a small...animal of some sort (the dying animal was making the noise). It was VERY cool. Until I got freaked out that maybe the hawk would think I was coming after its very yummy meal...which of course I wasn't but how would the hawk know that? Anyway, so then I saw it again about .25 mile later just chillin watching me run toward it. I started clapping at it to get it to move b/c it was freakin me out. Finally it (and it's meal) left. FREAKY HAWK!

CF:
"McGhee"
30 minute AMRAP of:
5 Deadlifts, 153/123 (Prescribed for women is 185)
13 Push-ups
9 Box Jumps, 18"
I did 11 rounds plus the deadlifts and 1 push-up in the 12th round.

I started with 153 pounds then tweaked my back in round two and took off the ten's so was down to 133.

The hawk story made me think of this movie quote:

"Do you hear that?"
"It's a funny....squeaking sound."

"You couldn't hear a dump truck driving through a nitro-glycerine plant!"



Anyone? Anyone?

Chevy Chase - Christmas Vacation

Clarification - I didn't mean that Chevy Chase actually said it. I forget who actually does - the grandma?

"McGhee"
18 rounds + 5, 13, 3

That's a grinder. The deadlifts and the box jumps were continuous (although transitions need to get faster - less time sucking wind). The first 8 rounds of push-ups were continuous, and after that it was usually something like 4,4,3,2 for most of the rest of the rounds.

"McGhee"
17 rounds

Subbed 225# on Deadlift, probably could have done 250#, but figured 1.5bw was a good choice for this WOD. DLs and Box Jumps all continuous as well, but, like Phil, my transition times were slow, especially from box jumps back to deadlifts. Good wod.

Agreed - the transition from box jumps back to the deadlifts definitely became the longest for me.

Oh come on Meggers.

You got the movie right, but you can't name the charaters???
You clearly do not watch National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation 5 times a year as I do.

Aunt Bethany

Uncle Louis

But that's not the point. The point was the elaborate scheme which I had concocted.

Kiley's hawk story did indeed trigger that memory in my mind. However, my main purpose in that post was to conduct a devious little social experiment and try and see if I could get Becky to post something here.

It's kind of like the scene from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" where the toon killer is searching a bar for Roger. He's doing the "Shave and a haircut" knocking bit. "No toon can resist the old shave and a haircut routine.", he says.

I had the same thought pattern. Becky can't resist the old "You couldn't hear a dump truck driving through a nitro-glycerine plant bit". I thought for sure she would have to post.

I was wrong.

I know - it's sad. Everybody loves that movie, but somehow I grew up . . . not loving it.

I think I just need to watch it with a group of people (who like it). Marty and Christin love it, and they watched it with me, but I think I fell asleep. It's a flaw - it's kind of like not ever having seen White Christmas (I have, but somebody hasn't . . . Becky, Kiley?)

I do appreciate the social experiment, though.
