Comments on: Such a day http://www.neptunuslex.com/2008/07/30/such-a-day/ The unbearable lightness of Lex. Enjoy!

"84, we sat behind Fred Grandy when the Pads and Garv spanked the Cubs. Season tickets for the '95 to '99 seasons, many good memories there (Cammy throwing a laser while on his A$$ to nail the out at first). Petco was great too, though I only made it out there a handful of times before I left. What I miss the most though? Ted Leitner and the Colonel calling the games. No radio team does it better in my mind, not even their compatriot up north on the 5 in Chavez Ravine. But, much as I'm hated here in NorKal, I'm still a Padres fan through and through.

I dread going uphill (and downhill) on a slope, does nasty things to it. So yeah, it would take a large gun to get me moving fast on foot. Besides, all the ladders I climb, intakes, uptakes, tank crawls in 95% humidity I don't have much chance of getting fat.

That being said, Lex, do you go to a CF gym in the area? Or do you have the equipment at home? I'm *just* getting started with the <a href="http://www.crossfit.com/journal/library/BeginnersMay03.pdf" rel="nofollow">Beginner's Routine</a> (as in this is week 1) so I'm nowhere near needing a gym. But I was curious as to whether you are able to do it at home or if you go to a gym. The closest gym to me is downtown so that's not really feasible right now so hopefully I can ease my way into this and add equipment as needed. I sure am feeling it today though. But it's a good pain ;) the only time I run is when someone is chasing me.

And I very much doubt I could have stumbled through 8+. Glad you like it.
