Rocky loves checking out the HOT CHICKS outside the local Starbucks.
Ok for all of you who wanted to see my pink kettlebells here they are. This is right after my after xmas WOD. I am going to also add to them I think I will put hearts on them.
Crossfit WOD 12/26
After 44 burpeesI just want to say each year I feel fitter and stronger then before. Age is just a number most people forget that. I hear I'm to old to do this or that..That's a bunch of crap. If you feel that way ,then you will not live life to it's fullest. I want to always inspire and modivate. You are never to old..That's what I say.
I had a wonderful b-day. I also want to take a moment and thank all of you who sent me wishes from Facebook, myspace and my blog and email. I really am touched by all the kind words.
Me looking hot at 44 ;)
The best birthdays of all are those that haven't arrived yet.
Be mindful of being positive in all you say and do. Know that each of your thoughts and deeds has the power to heal you- and those around you- so watch them closely without judging.
Beautiful Sunol
Well at least I found a present for Bigfoot...
Poor Carl I beat him in the biggest leaf contest!
Yesterday I took Carl for a run in Sunol, I love showing my favorite places. He will be spending a lot of time in the next week here so had to show him fun places to go while I'm at work.
It was really muddy that kinda of mud that sticks to your shoes. Makes it hard to run. Carl now knows why I really love to run, as if he didn't know before ;) Now he really knows.
Looking towards Rose Peak and Del Valle area.
CROSSFIT WOD 12/22/08
The top of Mission Peak was cold, Foggy and really wet. As we headed down from the peak towards Sunol, i found it was less strain on my Hamstring to run that it was to walk. We we got to Sunol, i looked for Carl but he was not where he was supposed to be. I went over and met Ranger Neil a bit upset that Carl was not there. He got in his truck, drove to the end of the park and found Carl, asleep waiting for us to arrive. Once we got some food and a few pictures i decided that running 100k today was not in the cards. The falls had really made me sore and with H.U.R.T coming up we decided to head back to Mission Peak. 1.5 miles out of Sunol, we met Radu who came to run with me. 25 miles was to be the distance for the day. Since we were not going as far, we decided to explore some trails that we had nver been on. Joe had picked the route. Just beyond my favorite tree we went up a faint overgrown fire road, this lead us to a narrow cow trail, following a fenceline, up a steep ridge, we eventually had to climb through a barbed wire fence, it lead us to the Monument and Allison peak trails. We started up towards Mission peak but first I called Carl, so he could start to run up from the Mission Peak parking lot to meet us as we came down. 
Cheicko, a friend of mine was coming out to take a photos of us, I had Carl call her to let her know the change of plans so she would be at the base of Mission Peak before he headed up to run with us. Carl met us at McClure Ranch so we could all run down together. This was a hard day for me. I wanted to run 100k but in my head i let myself down. But I also knew that heading out to the Remote areas of Del Valle would not be the best idea incase I ran into any problems. Cheicko and Brad met us on one of the final bends of the Mission Peak trail, snapping a ton of photos of us as we all ran down. Joe and I were happy to be back at the parking lot of Mission Peak, this gave Joe time to spend with his wife and me to hang out with my loving boyfriend Carl.
I was happy to have run the 25 miles but i'm still in pain. I've been taking vitamin I 800mg, Arnica and Zyflemend to help relive the pain but as of now I still have pain. lesson learned. its ok to change plans in the middle of your run to save yourself for another day.
Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.Marcus Aurelius
You got it, get more tattoos..LOL!!! Today is a rest day getting ready for tomorrows B-day run 100k (62 miles) of madness..I'm looking forward to my adventure. I will head out at 5am from Fremont. If anyone wants to start from Sunol and run out to Rose Peak they can do 20 miles. We should hit Sunol at 8am. If anyone wants to meet in Del Valle you could meet us at 2pm. You could always run out ,and head to rose Peak and run in with us.

WOD not for time:
And sometimes both friends suffer together.Andy and I ran Twin Peaks 50 miler every step of the way. We were a team through the Good, bad and the ugly weather he could of left me and finished in 11 hours but he was a true friend and true to his word. He promised weeks ago to run with me and he did. We both suffered and helped each other until the end 15 hours later it was cold, foggy and rained almost the entire race. Very few finished. I came 2nd Place woman woo hoo.
Now is a time of commitment. Decide upon your direction or goal and begin the journey towards it. Take time to recognise the patterns that have sabotaged you in the past and eliminate them from your future. Change must take place in the inner you before change can take place in the real world. Let balance be your watchword and if you need help then it will appear. 
My 44 hour B-day run will take place Friday December 19 starting at 4:40 am and finish 44 hours later. It will start at Mission Peak Stanford av. trail head. We will start there and head to Sunol out to Del Valle 31 miles and turn around and head back. We will head to FJ mile 63 for hot soup and head back out to Sunol. I will stay on the Ohlone wilderness trail so if anyone wants to meet me you will end up heading into me somewhere out on the trail. I will be doing out and backs into Sunol back to Fremont.

Persevere and direct your energy towards your goals. If you do this and truly believe in what you’re trying to achieve you will be given the power to succeed. Sometimes obstacles should be seen as a test - pass the test and overcome the obstacles and success will be in your grasp. If you are feeling challenged right now examine whether it is due to misunderstandings or perhaps a mistrust. Opportunities will arise to resolve your situations. 
Today we did "Micheal" at crossfit. I was pretty happy about my time. It's a tough workout, but all crossfit workouts are pretty much tough. I also ran a short 3 mile run.
I will do a recovery WOD in my hotel tomorrow after my long run. And hopefully Carl will plan my WOD for Saturday. he will be in Oklahoma with BMack for a cert. have fun.
Sunol the half way point 10 miles to go.
My favorite tree. I always give it a hug and kiss.
My favorite place to be alone in the wilderness
Cute outfit from Quad. Dipsea, Skirt & shirt.
Fremont Behind me, that's where I live.
I went from 165 to 170..I'm so happy!! I don't have totals for the others so they are PR's for now. I will try this again in a couple weeks.You get three max weight attempts at each movement. You finish all three lifts before moving to the next exercise. Your score is the total of the max effort of each movement.
BS- 115,125(f), 120 SP- 58(f), 58, 63(f) DL- 155, 165, 170= 348 total!
The little Mister(Rocky) and me after a 2 mile run.1) Lactic acid is the Spartan’s friend. The Spartan knows the value of anaerobic failure, and actively seeks it out. If he falls on his face, he waits only as long as necessary to move again before he continues.
2) The Spartan takes no breaks between exercises, unless it’s to shove a non-Spartan out of the way.
3) The Spartan runs. He does not use Stairmasters, or stationary bikes, or ellipticals. He runs.
4) When the Spartan cannot run, he walks. When he cannot walk, he crawls. When he cannot crawl, he has failed.
5) The Spartan hits big muscles, like the back, the pectorals, the quadriceps and the glutes. He knows this means he is building functional muscle that will assist in the destruction of his enemies and in the production of testosterone (of which the Spartan has more than the average man).
6) By contrast, the Spartan does not waste much time on small muscles. They will grow as the result of functional exercise that hits the big muscles (see above). For example, the bicep is only useful in that it assists with chin-ups, and scaling enemy fortifications. Anything else is vanity.
7) The Spartan abhors cables and machines. This is for two reasons. First, to activate stabilizer muscles, the Spartan must depend on himself to balance the weight, not a machine. Second - look up the adjective “spartan” in the dictionary: “strict and austere.” You should be able to do a Spartan workout in a FOB.
8 ) The Spartan fears only one thing: his workout. The enemy pales in comparison to his workout. If he doesn’t fear his workout, it isn’t hard enough.
9) Puking is acceptable. Quitting is not. If he gives up here, he gives up in battle. This is unacceptable.
10) So nature abhors a vacuum, so the Spartan loathes missing a workout. A Spartan can complete a workout in his grandma’s basement, a hotel room, or in a city park.
11) If the Spartan is not in pain during his workout, he is wrong.
12) The Spartan never cheats. He maintains proper technique throughout his training, because he knows that smooth is fast, and that he will be mocked mercilessly for, “girly pull-ups”.
13) The Spartan knows the value of the basics: the push-up, the pull-up, the chin-up, the sit-up, the squat, and the dead-lift. He also knows the importance of variety, and seeks out different techniques of the above.
