I also saw a rebroadcast of the 2011 CrossFit Games while in the airport waiting for a flight, and I was really inspired to get back into CrossFit. I'm still on the road for work, but I was happy to discover the tiny fitness center in this hotel has a pull-up bar, so I decided to do the "Cindy" workout.
As many rounds as possible (AMRAP) in 20 minutes:
I managed 9 rounds with a bonus 5 pull-ups and 4 push-ups. That may seem like a high number for someone who's really not in shape, but after round 3 my pull-ups were chair-assisted. Also, now that I've cleaned up my diet, I'm probably about 15 pounds lighter than I was the last time I did this workout.

]]>Tomorrow, November 6, 2010 is the NYC Marathon!
I'll be using a service called Instamapper to allow folks to track my position during the marathon tomorrow. The map below should show my progress live with a good level of accuracy, and should be much improved over my failed Google Latitude experiment during the 2009 NYC Marathon. (One of my friends reported that at one point he looked at his map and it reported my location as being somewhere in the middle of the Hudson River.)
My start time is at 9:40 a.m.
If you're going to be out and about and have a mobile web browser, you can use this link to track my progress on your phone. (If you're following me on your mobile phone, you'll need to manually refresh the page to see the most updated position.)

The title of this post feels like a bad CrossFit workout. This isn't the first time I've tried to work out after drinking. Somehow, I didn't learn my lesson the first time. My performance wasn't disastrous, but I definitely wasn't having fun.
My stomach felt both shaken and stirred. Urp.
Shins are a little happier now. I'll probably start running again this week.
