There's No Place Like Home

I have forgotten how silly big box gyms are! I had that strange nervous/uneasy feeling when I pulled up to my old big box gym. I hadn't been there in months. There really wasn't much need when I was going to CFOT and filling in off days or doing 2-a-days outside. I was thinking I miss CFOT as I pulled my banged up 35lb kettlebell out of my trunk and carried it inside and then up four flights of stairs. By the time I finished my last step I was wished I had climbed the steps to at Jungle's Gym and soon I'd be welcomed by Jerry as I was taking off my shoes.. but alas. That was not the case.

Sunday's Workout:

"Kettlebell Hell"

50 KB swings
40 push presses (alternating arms every 10 reps)
30 sumo deadlifts
20 snatches (alternating arms every 5 reps)
10 Turkish Getups (5 on each arm)

Total time: 13:48
My goal was to do it under 15, but I think I could do it under 12 next time. It is a total gasser and my arms are smoked.

Since the workout was so short I timed my rows.. my sad, sad rows...
400 meters 1:56
500 meters 2:20

If I prayed regularly, I might pray that the Lord would make me a faster rower, but since I don't it's kind of wrong to ask for something so silly. Maybe I should start going to church.. after a few weeks of attendance I could ask then?? Maybe I should just figure it out on my own and not include the Lord.
