Smeared with peanut butter, no doubt.

Thanks Mary! You and Patrick are awesome and it’s always fun to hit up the early morning workout with you two.

Dan,
Great advice on eating some dinner type proteins for breakfast. After the 0600, I used leftover steak and chicken as protein blocks for 3 post-WOD meals this week. Good stuff!

Great WOD today – been a while since I’d done DL’s and running in the same circuit! CJ, thanks for having me in – I think you’ve got a great think goin’ on downtown there, and I’ll be checking into this blog regularly.

RE: Breakfast
I think all the advice in the post above was valid, and most people never even think about portioning out their food days in advance – it’s really the only thing that ever keeps me on track!

One thing I’d like to add pertains to the Breakfast Food Stereotype!! As much as I love warm eggs in the morning, one of the most liberating / time-saving realizations I had was that lunch and dinner foods work perfectly well as breakfast. Don’t have any more eggs, and that waffle mix is just staring at you? Grab that last chunk of steak in the fridge instead!

Just some food for thought.

GREAT OPENING WEEK CROSSFIT INVICTUS!!

We were nourished this week, in both mind and body. I’m looking forward to every week herewith all of you.

I liked the look of today’s WOD, had to sub 500M row for the run due to sheet of ice on the ground not to mention it is too damn cold to be running outdoors.
Time: 10:42 Have a great weekend everyone. Don’t forget to practice your rest, a vital component to this Crossfit thing we got going on. I am sure that blog article is coming soon.

Nice work Courtland!
I’m sure you are already starting to experience some of the tangible/intangible results of the CF method.
Your high speed Chuck Taylor Converse are always a good choice for Oly related WODs. Keep up the good work and stick with it my friend!

WOD time = 18:45

Modifications:

DL 1 x BW (205)

Subbed 500m row for 400m run.

Felt pretty gassed, but glad to hear from CJ and Mark that I kept secure form during DLs despite wanting to die.
