Good night.

Show someone a little love and they run.

Will I receive a restraining order soon? That always seems to happen....

Why won't Pope talk to me anymore? Was it...something I said?

Good. Now all we need is a trebauchet and we can lay seige to a city.

John and Marcus don't need to climb El Cap anymore; they just move it out of the way.

Anyone know where I can get one of those big hoisting cradles they use for orcas and horses and shit?

Perhaps if I used an engine hoist....

On second thought, maybe I can't bench press Minx.

Crossfit's getting really big in Mexico. Don't ask Archenemy. She charges, like, $220, but you get some free used gear.

Meanwhile, tuck into a box of Krispy Kremes. It'll help your decision making.

I'm getting tired of fixing your posts, Little Lotta.

pickled eggs? No Pink, the correct answer is "IF MY BOY SAYS HE CAN EAT 50 EGGS THEN MY BOY CAN EAT 50 EGGS" I'm just glad John Frieh and Marcus are too busy working out and climbing to be posting - cause I understand that they are so damn tough right now from doing crossfit that they can just LOOK at a beer bottle and open it. I here they're so tough from crossfit that they don't even rap off anymore, they just jump and land on their huge nutsacks like the Mars probes.

There, that's bet...oh, Jebus, that just ain't right....

We don't worry about avalanches. We ARE the avalanche.

Fat fucks rule. Sure, packing a ship's hawser instead of a normal climbing rope takes a bit more work, but we're used to it.

I prefer to think of myself as phat.

Talk to me Peter. Tell me you love me.

dOOD, you're stealing my thunder... ...thighs.

Lacrosse. I love watching lacrosse. Do you love lacrosse, Peter?

I meant in a purely anaerobic sense, of course.

I love being able to do way more pullups than Peter can.

My current routine is 28 upper body weight exercises; with military, incline, and bench press at the end, the finish off with pushups. I'm really lucky to crank out, like, 15 by that time. This is the last day of this training period, then my routine changes. You might try your crunches and push ups before you run (after a brief warm up). You'll get a better strength work out when you're fresh, and your strength work out won't affect your aerobic training much. Yeah, I have been thinking of doing just that. I normally warm up with 20 squats, 20 lunges with each leg forward (making sure the knees never go beyond the toe, and never breaking a 90 degree bend at that knee.) Then I do some moderate twisting, turning, and streaking before I start to run. I just hate to stop running once I start. Getting started again just sucks. Push up and crunches are really my only strengthening part of my work out. Oh, I got it, I can concentrate on doing push up, squats, lunges, crunches every other day, and run less, and on the other days work more on the cardio, running, and less on the strengthening. (I need to put up a chin-up/pull-up bar) Thanks for the inspiration. You can do weight work outs, then run right afterwards, if you want and have the time. What seems to be working well for me is do a weight workout for a certain set of muscle groups every 3 days (I just split it between 1)legs/abs/back and 2)upper body) I do one set per exercise (not including a light warm up set for each major muscle group) till muscle failure. One set is supposed to produce just as fast a gain in strength as multiple sets, plus it saves a bunch of time. Having tried both, I've found that this is true. For aerobic workouts, I just do the standard hard/easy: alternating between high intensity (anything that takes me up near the anaerobic threshold: intervals/pyramids, etc) days and easy (longer runs) days. I also swim every 3 days; nothing makes me feel better afterwards. I just pulled a whole season of pro workouts off the web, cut the distance in half (I'm not training for a Channel crossing, but thanks) and follow them. Keeps the boredom way down .

Yeah, you might feel good about that, but I once saw a Kiwi rugby player open a beer bottle with his EYE SOCKET.
