It’s kinda funny how the news does such a good job of creating panic when impending weather is on its way. I am sure that Hurricane Irene is gonna be scary and has the potential of creating some serious situations –but where we live, it will be some heavy rain. That’s it! Not enough danger to create panic in the grocery stores. Just an interesting observation every time we have any sort of weather related event. Crazy people.

We had an imnpromptu CrossFit workout this morning because the regular classes were cancelled due to possible Irene complications. It was really unnecessary but better safe than sorry. I met Coach Lori and some other friends at the box and we dubbed the workout ‘Irene’ in honor of the hurricane.

Warmup
burpee sprints
10 pass thrus
10 whirly birds
10 bendy whirly birds
Mobility work

WOD
15m AMRAP
100m run
10 14lb wall ball squats
10 hand release push ups
total rounds=7

it was a good workout. Its super humid out so I was hacking up a lung but that didn’t stop me! Asthmatics rule! My pal Kim came a bit late, so we ran another 800m and then she did a 10m AMRAP of 10 wall balls and 10 push ups. While she did that, I worked on my pull up swings. My hands till hurt tho. Woe is me!

For those out there in the path of Irene, please be safe. Don’t mess with nature and in the words of the current NJ governor- “get the hell off the beach.”
