CrossFit Games?

A few years ago I did one CrossFit class which I posted about here.  I liked the workout but wasn't too crazy about the whole gym so never went back.  About a month ago we decided to give CrossFit Yucaipa a try since our running isn't going so great and we need some strength training for these old bones and muscles.  We liked the gym, it's been a good fit for us, so we've been going for about a month. I got a message from Kerri yesterday:

Yep, she did it, I'm registered.  I'm not sure exactly how this even works, or how I'll do.  I think we're going to be on vacation during part of it.  Not to worry, she says, we can drop-in wherever.  Well I'll keep this updated, pretty sure there's got to be some recognition for being last in the world!

Last Minute Plans

I unexpectedly had last Friday afternoon through Tuesday off.  Thank you major software updates at work (no thank you this morning when nothing worked). We got as far as our favorite boondocking spot Friday, rode Secret Sauce again Saturday.  Oh yeah and Secret Sauce is really intermediate not beginner!  I didn't realize that until studying the trail map after the ride while plotting our next ride.  It went well, I hear words of advice from the boys all the time when I ride, from Kyle, "there's no shame in walking uphill when mountain biking", from Brad, "keep your butt back".  Wise words which have saved my butt to be sure. I was hesitant to ride Pushing Tin because I knew it was intermediate but now I think I'm ready, next time we're that way.
We picked up a trail map at Eagle Point with good intentions.

 But we did a little exploring around Puffer.

 

 We forded the lake, okay just kidding, but we did ford a mud puddle.

                   



Sat on the deck, planning the new cabin! Killer view can you see the stream?

          Moo'd at cows that dropped by for breakfast.

Planned my retirement date!

Deep breaths of clean air and relaxation!

Weekend Fun!

Papa's in Maine hanging out with the grandkids!  Look at what Jack learned this morning.  Way to go Jack, another generation of cyclists on their way.  

My weekend wasn't nearly as fun, but I did get to go to Target, In N Out and Costco with Ker and the boys.  Three places that rank high on my list, but the company was even better.  Retirement is looking good on Craig, now just to get me retired!
