Sorry for my inability to edit. I took this video after a few tries. It is from my phone and I set the phone in the chair I was sitting in to capture these images. By the way, I was trying to relax and had a cigar in my mouth when this was performed.

Warning: Handstands can be extremely expensive!
This is a picture of me the day after doing a handstand on the end of a pool table then losing my balance and falling into the pool light that then came crashing down, broke and tore the felt on the pool table. $300 and two free drinks later I had purchased myself a piece of history (or at least new felt) in the Branding Iron Saloon, Garberville, CA.

Navin R. Johnson letter about discovering his Special Purpose
Grandmother reading: My dear family, guess what. Today I found out what my special purpose is for. Gosh what a great time I had. I wish my whole family could have been here with me. Maybe some other time as I intend to do this a lot. Every chance I get. I think next week I'll be able to send some more money as I may have extra work. My friend Patty promised me a blow job. Your loving son, Navin. And he's got the kisses here.
Father: That Patty must be a sweet girl.
Mother: God bless her.

Rest Day
I couldn't help it, I had to go out and flip that big ol 300 lb tire around. It is a good workout. Can't wait to incorporate it into some WODs. It gives me a big ol' headrush, and getting a grip can be tough (functional fitness baby! We DO have to grab stuff in real life don't we?).
Here are a couple of pictures... flipping it around in the dark. My wife is like "what the f@#$%!~ do you need that think for?" Hahahahahahaha!!!!!!!
Oh, and here's that Ricky dude getting interviewed by Sevan right after he SMOKED the DL/Run WOD. This guy weighs *maybe* 150 and FLEW through those 300 lb DLs like they were 150 lbs. Then he laid on the pavement for like 15 minutes. Two guys had to get carried out after that one cos they couldn't get up and walk out on their own.

Man I wish I could do this one, but I have to stay on my schedule.
Today I got up at 5AM to pick up Sean at 6:15 and head out to the regional CF games. It was amazing. Man, there are some bad ass people out there that you'd never know about, absolute machines. The first WOD was a beast. 3 rounds of 8 DL's and 400M sprints (Feedback of the day was "sprints after DL's are not easy"). Women had 195 lbs men had 300 lbs. Ouch.
Best men's time was 5:15 by a guy "Ricky" who got sixth in the games last year overall. He is a small super strong dude. Wow. Our buddies Jacob and Evan (from CF Szafranski) both got about 6:25. One more WOD tonight and one more (everyone does all three) tomorrow, which is not yet announced. The WOD tonight is (I think 3 rds) 175 lb front squat (10?), 10 burpees, 10 C2B pullups. The day was amazing, very exciting. I suggest any future chance you get to go to one of these you take it.
Today I did 3 rounds of
8 185 lb squats
20 abmat situps
10 215 lb DL's
15 1 pood KBS's
Forgot to time it, but not as fast as it should be! Just trying to get back to being normal strength, working my way up. Feel it in the nuts area a bit but not too much.
Tomorrow gonna try to row a 5K in 21 mins, PR from a month ago was 19:26 but I've lost a step...
Here are a few pics from today, I'll post more later or on another post

Rest Day
My WOD schedule is all messed up right now. I definitely "deconditioned" this past month missing 3 out of 4 weeks, but am on my way back. The group driveway WOD was very very fun, Travis is a great trainer and communicator. My legs are still sore from that, just lots of squats. SDHPs, Squats and Wall ball all include the squat move!
Today I did my shoulder rehab thing. I see the PT again tomorrow. Travis also pushed and pull on my shoulder a lot Saturday morning, about made me cry. I'm basically going to be stuck in a day 1) shoulder/rehab, day 2) DLs and Squats, KBs's, day 3) core, chest, row, day 4) rest cycle until my nuts and shouler are better. Still using the CF methodology though.
Here are a few pictures and a couple of videos from a mountain biking trip with my wife Chelle and some friends to Crested Butte in 2007. I LOVE that place!!

Driveway WOD with Weaver!
Hey Gang: Travis and I saw each other last night and today for the first time in 19 years. Crazy insane. We had a blast, went to watch some local MMA fights (big fun!), had a ringside table. Then this morning I had some friends over (and their kids!) and Travis conducted a group training. It was Travis, my wife Chelle and I, Ulises and his wife Sonja and their son Andres, my friend Charlie (big bald dude) and his two boys Chase and Austin. Travis took us through a warm-up, then covered the CrossFit theory, then we covered basics like the squat, pushup, SDHPs, wall ball, etc. and then we did a group WOD with the hip-hop thumpin' through the neighborhood. The WOD was 30, 20, 10 squats, pushups, SDHPs, wall ball, then run up and down my 150' driveway twice. I'm still not on my game from the surgery but getting there. Super fun WOD'ing outside with a bunch of people. I'd like to host something like that once every weekend if I can. I got TT - 10:01, Charlie 10:43, Chelle 12:12 ish, and I can't remember the rest. Very good to see Travis!!! Big fun had by all! These guys were all whooped, they got baptized by CrossFit.
