Last Monday, I shocked no one. Made a switch to morning training. Crossfit mornings are a cougar den. The cougars are easily beating me, and I don't know whether to feel inspired or discouraged. Feeling the notch kicked up. Rope climbs, handstands, are mentally challenging. I crash into the floor before trying. I would be better at this drunk.
As for swimming, everything is improving. Going longer distances without being too sloppy. Then these new experienced cats come and have perfect form. Definitely jealous. I need to get a grip on reality and stop the PMS. Trying to be excited about the potential.
Last Friday was 14.5 Open for CF. Loved it. Great push. Came in last, but glad I finished.
The storms are here, and I need to take this sunny Sunday opportunity to climb some hills. It might be too muddy. Cramps are taking me out of the game, fuck you cramps.

Untitled
Finally feel energized this week. Off to a good Monday! Today I discovered in the Sac Bee a possible training hike (four thousand feet climb in four miles?!) that is nearby Pollock Pines. Called Pyramid Mountain. Must seek and destroy it a few times before I move out.
Back again with RAMS, the swim team. perfecting my freestyle, flip turn, and backstroke. Not that I intend to compete, but perhaps after a year of training I can represent RAMS at a meet.
Crossfit I have mixed feelings for. It is time to move to level 1, from anywhere X. However, with the double work-outs (RAMS in the afternoon) I may not be able to sustain myself. After this week, I may push myself to level 1. This gives me time to manage my other responsibilities and transition to a harder crossfit experience.
Other responsibilities being, maintenance technician work. flipping one house and one condominium.
This may mean switching some crossfit sessions to the morning. There is lots of work to be done in one month.
Saw a promotion about a Retreat in Costa Rica. Focus is AcroYoga, Surfing, and Massage. Nov 24-30. Once I get the magic details I'm sucking my sister into this. All our favorite subjects. Crossfit anywhere also does trips that include WOD's. Loving this. Can't wait to spend my fire money on this good stuff.
Been reading a lot in the paper about EDD, which is the agency you get unemployment from. Staff Cutbacks/Cut hours means paper-delay. Well, after applying Jan 2nd of this year (and a paperwork fuck-up myself for the month of Feb) today I received maximum benefits. With more to come. It's like the greatest tax-refund ever. Speaking of that, I also recently got my Federal Tax Return back, and my REI dividend.
There's this place in Carmichael that does body performance testing. Which means, they may measure body fat etc. I intend to go. Of course I'll share the results. I reckon that I am 20-25% bodyfat.
In closing, an admission: Everytime Ragnar farts I burst in laughter. Why is farting more funny than burping? Ragnar is especially gassy from getting into the trash. Wow. I just farted now. haha.

70 degrees out
Sacramento is beautiful. Double Day training. Still feel energetic. Running is suffering from ultimate frisbee ankle injury.
Yesterday scouted out a "local" steep hill. Where are all the hills? It has to be the levy. 10 rounds up that girl with 40 pound vest. I may rather take the vest to Gold's Gym for a stair master ride.
Swim practice was incredibly fun, I've improved my freestyle stroke in one session. Tomorrow is going to be an interesting day, going to Sun City for property maintenance. More importantly, getting my mountain bike back. Tear up Folsom Lake time.
This weekend I will be in the Bay. There is talk of bbq-hottubbing at my girl's house. Life is pretty sweet. Been living it up since I was laid off. Working hard-core for six months only to retire for the off season?
Also thinking about Montana Conservation Corps. What a lovely job experience that could be.

Days hardly matter in the worlds of seasonally unemployed
Rainy day. "we need it" says every californian who makes small talk.
In my unimportant world, I'm preparing for an unemployment insurance interview. Earlier last month I was disqualified for paperwork malfunctions. This is the time to appeal.
Saw the G-parents yesterday. They want me to maintain their Sun City house before they sell. Okay. There are citrus trees there yielding enough to make the incentive very worth it. Grape fruit for everyone! Bartenders, Crossfit instructors, Ok Cupid Dates!
Now that I'm a new meathead, investing in protein/glutamine is on the radar. I'm down with the shakes. Was going to eat ice cream anyway.
Last week checked out RAMS (Master's Swim Program) and can't wait to learn how to swim properly. Starting that program soon, this week probably. Will I be able to handle the double dose? (Crossfit at night, RAMS during day) GOING FOR IT BRAHHH.
The only thing not in my diet is hiking. Auburn this weekend! Confluence! Go big! Weight Vest!
Going for Crossfit Sonora this May. My ass will have a permanent kicked mark on it.
Interested in getting body fat analysis done somewhere. Just to mark some progress.
Lots of small goals! Getting those projects done! Cut back on alcohol! Shaving my legs! haha 2014 is already boss.
