   Mondays are a funny day.  Always starts out busy… and finishes pretty much in the same fashion.  But once the dust settles, I’m left with [...]

3. I was forced to check my ego at the door posted August 19, 2011

4. Power Cleaning (and no, not around the house) posted August 4, 2011

   After a busy day of exhibiting at the Year of Science, Science & Sport Expo at Robson Square in Vancouver, I was in dire need of a good workout. Thankfully I was only a 10 minute drive from Crossfit Vancouver so I made the executive decision to Bee-line it to the 4pm class.

9. The Original Hero Workout: Murph posted January 11, 2011
   

   Man, do I have the worst timing or what? Why I chose today of all days to visit Crossfit Vancouver, I just don’t know.

   Today’s workout of the day was an old personal favorite of mine – Murph – the original Crossfit Hero workout.

For the full history of Murph, check my blog post: The Origin of Murph.
