New source workout

I was informed by one of the more enlightened employees of the gym who showed some serious interest in kettlebells. In fact I was impressed by his method of working out; for lack of better terms crossfit like. So in trading websites he recommended rosstraining.com. He did not have anything new to me per say but, it did help create some ideas. Thanks to Jason Turko I have a wealth of knowledge in torturing the body. So here is the deal for tonight.

As many rounds in 20 minutes of

5 pull ups (No pull up bar so it was 10 2bl 16kg presses)
10 Ball Slams
15 Burpees (arggghhhh)
20 Jumping Jacks (ahhh)

goal 10 rounds

Result 7

Feelings: This sucked therefore I thoroughly enjoyed it and have a "goal" not something I usually get into to. I am regretfully going to have to find one. I Think.

For a topping I did my 1 mile run with a with a 10-11.5mph .25 mile blast at the end.

Afterthoughts: I probably should have done 10 rounds no matter what but, I was toasted. My pride made me run and really made me run fast at the end. Burpees really really suck.
(Oh by the way I am trying to build capacity for them for some odd reason. Hint)

Well I am in the writing mood so I found this in a good book:

"This urgent calling of nature longs to be tested seeks to be challenged beyond itself. The warrior within us beseeches Mars, the god of War, to deliver us to that crucial battlefield that will redeem us into the terrifying immediacy of the moment. We want to face our Goliath so we may be reminded that the warrior David is alive, in us. We pray to the war gods to guide us to the walls of Jericho so we may dare the steadfastness and strength of our trumpet call. We aspire to be defeated in battles by powers so much greater than ourself, that the defeat itself will have made us larger than when we arrived. We long for the encounter that will ultimately empower us with dignity and honor..... Be not mistaken: the longing is there and it's loving and terrible and beautiful and tragic."
