Rest Day, New Year's Eve

Last day of 2005 and no WOD, did some pull-ups after breakfast, will try to do several sets through ouut the day, will probably not succeed.
Resolutions... hmmn, gotta think about that one, maybe just 1 muscle-up. Gonna have to think about them this year.
Peace on earth... not likely.
Democrats and Republicans holding hands in the capitol building singing Kumbiya... even less likely.

Another blessed day of REST...
In a recent New York Times piece by Stephanie Cooperman entitled “Getting Fit, Even if It Kills You”, CrossFit is clearly portrayed as dangerous.
Is this depiction based on the author’s innumeracy, the effete politics of the Times, or is it a fair judgment?

CFWU x3 - PU&Dips
12:42, no MU did 21 pulls/dips, did then 1 pu/1dip until I reached 21 of each, is that cheating?, it gave a great ROM on each rep, also didn't feel like good form w/135, so I did 105#
Felt great, cooled down w/ 150ft farmerwalk w/35# plates, Turkish getup x3 w/25# ezbar, 3x50ft 25#DB waiter's walk & 5x snatch w/45# bar

All told the facility is awesome, the demonstrations were top notch and I WISH I LIVED THERE! Small town living is not for me.
