Finding a New Home


I went up to Nashville for the weekend to find a new home (I’ll be moving there for work in the next couple of weeks).  New place for me and Rhett Butler to live – FAIL.  New place to train and expand my CrossFit family – WIN!

Visited CrossFit Music City for the second time, and really loved my experience there.  CrossFit is such a small and close knit community that it should be no surprise that one of their trainers and his wife, I had actually crossed paths with at Garage Games and Faction Games.  It goes back even further than that – Trevor competed at the Miss, TN, AL Sectional back in 2010 where I went to cheer on Drew and SB.  Everyone I met was awesome – personable, engaging, and truly loved CrossFit.  One woman, Eileen who is also an attorney – there is only one way to describe her – BEAST.  I loved seeing her tackle 95# thrusters like they were a PVC pipe.  Some of their members offered to help me find a home in Nashville.  And to top it all off, I’m already inducted into their Bum Shoulder Club.  I really think this is going to be a great fit!

AM Training:

“Michael”
3 rounds
800 m run
50 back extensions
50 situps

Score: 23:25 Rx’d.  Was chasing Whitney until the last round, when it became clear that her experience on the back extensions (I’ve never done them before) was well out of my league.

Clean & Jerk Program 6x5 (85#)

Eating:

Awful!  Only had a handful of almonds until about 3 pm, when I slid into a Moe’s Southwest Grill and got a burrito full of veggies, steak, and guac.  Was not at all prepared for spending a whole morning training, meeting my new family, and then having to drive around like crazy looking at apartments.
