[QUOTE=Alden Hingle;1062109]Bill H - No need to spend a lot of $$. I used a sturdy box to put the monitor on at my desk and an inexpensive adjustable-height podium for the keyboard and mouse. [/QUOTE]

Ikea desk with legs fully extended and then up on two small concrete bricks to bring the desk to the correct height for me. I stand on a rubber mat. I have a tall stool to sit on periodically.

5/19 Workout

SB Training’s 4th Annual Crazy Fit Challenge

4 rounds for time:
Trail running loop of about one mile with obstacles at Eling’s Park. (See the baseball icon here: [url]http://tinyurl.com/7pzjr5h[/url] (WFS) We progressed generally in a clockwise circle on the map.) Start at playground, run to top of park road, then do about 20 meters of crab walk and about 10 meters of mud crawl under logs. Long trail run to crest, then six tire flips, pallet drag in a loop, step in and out of tires, climb over 8 foot wall. Then long downhill trail run back to park road and pick up a motorcycle tire and run it down to playground and back up to pick up place to drop off then continue running to top of park road, crab walk, mud crawl etc. At end of 4th round drop off motorcycle tire at playground then jump into ice tub and retrieve golf ball, run onto slip and slide, and turn in golf ball to end.

About 1:09.

Runners could elect to run 1, 2, 3, or 4 loops. Chose the wrench and went for the full 4 loops. All well until I forgot to turn in my golf ball, so my “official” time was 1:18 but I griped and moaned and hopefully got an adjusted time. I finished just behind Ted Bruckner of Crossfit Goodland who vouched for me. Ted and I were the only two Crossfitters there as far as I knew, and we're both Masters.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

My 55th birthday today so:

Filthy 55
55 Box Jumps, 12 inch box
55 Jumping pull-ups
55 Kettlebell swings, 70 lbs
55 Walking Lunges
55 K2E, on back on floor
55 Push press, 45 pounds
55 Back extensions
55 Wall ball shots, 20 pound ball
55 Burpees
110 Single unders

43:04

I thought the lunges would be hard, they went pretty well. The back extensions, push-presses and K2E (on back on floor curling up K2E) were a lot tougher than I thought they should be. And of course the Burpees took forever and sucked! LOL.

Happy Birthday Bill H!

5/21 WOD

“Jackie”
1000m Row
50 Thrusters (45#)
30 Pullups

This is a PR, but I didn't feel like I was on my A-game this morning. Didn't squat to full depth on all thrusters. :( Think it's about time for a rest week. Link to this morning's whiteboard (WFS): [url]http://www.flickr.com/photos/93561498@N00/7242633402/[/url] Marcela absolutely crushed this one, and A.M. Wood toughed it out Rx'd with great ROM on every single rep.
