I wasn't feeling well again tonight when I went in for Crossfit, but I forced myself to go anyway.
Seems my nausea went away when I started, but the migraine came on and stayed the entire time.
Warm up:
Lunges, then 10 push ups for 3 Rounds.
Skill: Back Squats 5x5
WOD:
11 Pull Ups
30 KB Swings
500m Row (I did 1000m)
100 Jump Ropes (I skipped these)
4 Rounds for time.
I was not able to do the jump ropes because the bouncing really killed my head. I instead did an extra 500m row.
My time: 26:40
I wasn't really pushing it as I wasn't feeling all that great. I'm just glad I was able to do something. Maybe next time.

Quick run..........
Actually not quick, more like a slow run.
This medicine my doctor has me on makes me so nauseated. It took everything I had to get out and go to the gym. Either I sat around like a bump on a log, or I went out and at least attempted something. Actually, my wife started watching What not to Wear on TLC, and that was enough to get me up.
Once I started running, I felt much better. As soon as I was done, I felt worse. Go figure. Maybe I should run everywhere I want to go. Or, maybe not.

Dive Bombers
I haven't been able to get to Crossfit regularly as I have mentioned before my car is still in the shop. Plus, all last week and into this one, I have been feeling kinda sick all the time. Not sure why, but it wasn't enough to stop me from going to Crossfit.
Today was my first day working with Troy Taylor. As with all the CF instructors he was not easy on us at all, which is a great thing.
We worked on our Dead lifts for the skill and then finally brought out my good old friend the rower.
WOD:
Dive bombers to Failure
250m row
AMRAP for 20 minutes
I knew going into the WOD I was starting to get a headache, but I was not about to be sidelined. As the WOD progressed, my head hurt worse and worse. The Dive bombers were killer and the rowing didn't help any either.
I felt like I didn't pull out my all when it came to the workout. Maybe next time.
My score:
130 Dive bombers
1700m for the row.

Blackhand Gorge - 8 miles
Sorry for the absence. I haven't been doing anything lately as I haven't been feeling well. I know I'm not getting sick or anything, it's just that I feel like hell.
After my warm and fuzzy Crossfit beating I had today, I set my mind on going to Blackhand Gorge out in Licking County. My wife works fairly close to the park and since we are sharing a car, I thought it would be a great opportunity to get a run in before I picked her up from work. I was hoping this trip out there would help break me of this. I need to read more on the history of the park, but I can tell you it is so nice out there. I beleive this is part of the old Ohio-Erie Canal System. I'm also not sure, but I think the bike path used to be an old railroad track that was converted as part of the Rails to Trails projects in Ohio.
I wanted to explore some of the trails up there, but I was really late as it was getting back to pick my wife up.
As you all know, never make your wife stay at work longer than she wants, especially when she is hungry and would most likely chew your head off for dinner.
I cannot wait to get out there in the spring for a better run and see what all this park has to offer.

The trail conditions were not great as we all here in Ohio are experiencing. Not sure about you, but this is getting old. I was glad to have my Yaktrax on as the trail was mostly icy slush which made for a great time. My knees and ankles are thanking me for the beating.

6 Miles and a Big Ass Chair
I went for what I thought was my final podiatry appointment and decided that I wanted to take a picture of me in this really cool chair they have in one of their rooms.I tried to talk my doctor into giving me the chair so I can watch the Super Bowl coming up.
He laughed and said I'd be the first he calls when it retires.
They ended up casting me for some Orthotics since my foot is highly irritated with Plantar Fasciitis. This was the last thing I wanted, but decided if I ever want this foot to heal, then I had to do it.
Seems Ohio is getting nailed with a little storm that has been coming through since yesterday and will probably be here through tomorrow.
I love running in weather like this so I decided I was to go out for a run instead of staying in on the treadmill.
This time I didn't forget the Yak Trax. They helped a lot but, the snow was still too dry for good traction. The run itself was uneventful. The traffic was light but at times I had to jump onto the sidewalk where the deep snow just drained my energy.
I had no real plans when I set out on the run. I just knew I wanted to get some miles in. If it had not been for the snow, I probably would have gotten 10 miles in easily.
After I got home I took the pups on a walk since they love the snow too.
