The Turkey hangover has finally subsided. The tryptophan fog blurring my vision has cleared and I'm left in the aftermath of what was another classic Thanksgiving weekend. But with reality setting in again, I find myself trying to remember everything that this past weekend held in store for me. So with that said, 2 coffees in me and my fingers stretched and ready, here's the weekend in review...

Saturday morning came early as the
Fitness Town Summit Seekers
converged onto the Grouse Grind at 8am. The Grind for Kids fundraiser initiative has been extended until the end of October and just over $100,000 has been raised so far for BC Children's Hospital. To make things interesting I decided to dawn my 20lbs Titin Weighted Shirt to "help" me up the grind... wishful thinking but all in the love of working out.
My time to hike the grind was 53 minutes... not much better than my time without a vest, so what's with that?

Following my grind, I headed into Fitness Town Crossfit with the best of intentions to do a workout of the day. However, after getting to the store I realized I didn't have too much in the tank any longer so just did a quick little strength training hit.
My workout: Move 10,000 pounds x 2
Bench Press:
- 30 x 135lbs
- 25 x 135lbs
- 25 x 135lbs
- 20 x 135lbs
Back Squat
- 30 x 135lbs
- 25 x 135lbs
- 25 x 135lbs
- 20 x 135lbs
Followed this up with some rolling on my
rumble roller
and stretching K-Star
Mobility WOD style. Feeling great!
Sunday was photo shoot day with a few friends: Nate, Robbie and Tim from
Hybrid Athletics
along with Pete and myself from
FT CrossFit... good times for sure!
