The gift that keeps on ... TAKING!

Side note: Yesterday I ran a 10K. My time doesn't show my hard work, but I was ecstatic when I found out I finished it off in 52:20. I named today's blog, "The gift that keeps on.... TAKING" because that 10K affected me during last night's sleep, my 10am-6pm shift, and my workout.

Yay 10 Ks!

Today's WOD:
"Quarter Gone Bad"

Five rounds for total reps of:
135 pound Thruster [sub 115 pound], 15 seconds
Rest 45 Seconds
50 pound Weighted pull-up, 15 seconds
Rest 45 Seconds
Burpees, 15 seconds
Rest 45 seconds

Goal: 15 reps - Thruster, 15 reps - Weighted pull-up, 25 reps - Burpees.
What I accomplished: 25 reps - Thruster, 12 reps - Weighted pull-up, 34 reps - Burpees.
I set goals beyond what I expected to put out. Man, I'm stronger than I think. This is awesome!

Check this song out. It's 'Lose my Soul' by Tobymac.... It's stuck in my head, but I'm loving it!

Long time, no blog!

WOD:

Military (Shoulder) Press: 1-1-1-1-1
Push Press: 3-3-3-3-3
-We don't have a squat rack, so we had to do cleans between each rep.
Followed by handstand hold


Results:
Military Press: 115 pounds - 135 pounds - Failed Rep - 140 pounds - 145 pounds - 145 pounds
Push Press: 135 pounds - 155 pounds - 155 pounds - 160 pounds - 165 pounds
- Power Clean Reps: Priceless.

I could only hold the handstand for about 20 seconds.

In my craziness I did the workout 'Barbara' today, I only did 4 of the 5 rounds. Each round looked like this:
20 Pull ups
30 Push ups
40 Sit ups
50 Squats

All the questions I want to ask girls.

I've been thinking about this lately... I've been talking to some girls lately and I'm not really interested in any of them, because they aren't head over heels in love with Jesus. Long story short, I'm confused about ladies, and I just want to vent out! Here's a few questions I have for ladies in no particular order.

1. Do you prefer a guy who consciously attracts you, or attracts you by the way he lives?
2. Would you go with me to a Mariner's game?
3. What does it mean for you to live for Jesus?
4. What are some of the values you plan to incorporate into your family life?
5. Why are you so hard to read?!
6. Do you think physical appearance is a reflection of a lifestyle?
   
7. Would you play sports with me? Are you interested at all in working out me?
8. What role does attraction play in relationships with you?

I just don't get ladies at all. I don't know how to put the 'moves' on, but I think I'm a decent guy. I've ruined every chance I've had in the past, and I'm not ready to start up a relationship any time soon. I just want to find a lady that can encourage me to love God more... definitely reflect Christ's love to. So much on my mind! I have to work in less than 8 hours.. I'm done!

We love You Lord!

Fanks, Bruv.

It was an awesome workout, I really just feel... Good.
My brother just left for Winnipeg, Canada. *Sigh* But I will tread on!

... I'm baking cookies!

Anywhoo, back to being the [only] man of the house... Here's a couple of todays Highlights... and Lowlights:

Highlights:
I helped in Steve Ballmer (Microsoft's new CEO)


I guess he's a big deal. I wasn't even allowed to enter his room, I brought his luggage in escorted by a security guard; defintely the most awkward luggage delivery I've ever done.

I still managed to help in/out every guest in the lobby though things were extremely busy. I looked like I wasn't doing anything when I was actually in the middle of 3 or 4 LARGE tasks.

I think my brother and I represented Semiahmoo Resort well today in front of Microsoft, and our Resort's owners Trillium. Today was an intimidating day.

Lowlights:
I'm single (Haha)

Reading Job these last few days is reminding me that I need to praise God for the Highlights... AND the Lowlights! (Basically... I feel iddy biddy.)

17 "What is man that you make so much of him,
that you give him so much attention,

18 that you examine him every morning
and test him every moment?

19 Will you never look away from me,
or let me alone even for an instant?

20 If I have sinned, what have I done to you,
O watcher of men?
Why have you made me your target?
Have I become a burden to you?

21 Why do you not pardon my offenses
and forgive my sins?
For I will soon lie down in the dust;
you will search for me, but I will be no more."

Job 7:17-21

This scripture just makes me feel tiny. God keep me in perspective!
