The past few months

Since Thanksgiving of 2008, I have fought off four diverticulitis attacks, had corrective surgery for the same and opened my business, CrossFit Davis.

Everything is going well! I just started to exercise again and we continue to add clients. Yay!

I just finished that site not too long ago. If you need car service in NYC – they are the peeps to go with.

Diverticulitis, Ulcerative Colitis, CrossFit Davis

There’s been a noticeable lack of posts here.

Kind of had things going on — on all sorts of fronts. On one front there’s the whole planning CrossFit Davis thing. On the other front I’ve been hospitalized 2x because I have the body of the 27 year old me but the intestines of an 80 year old. That’s hyperbole, but fairly representative about how I feel about it.

Oh yeah, I also found out I only have one kidney. How about that? I now consider myself a spokesperson for kidney donation and the record holder for all CrossFit WODS performed by a one kidneyed male. Turns out you can just get by with one.

Back to the hospitalization thing….

Amazing. I eat right. I CrossFit. I do all the right stuff. Wham. Two bouts of (most likely) diverticulitis and my UC is back as well. A cynics view would be to look at it like it makes no difference, all that effort, all the discipline of CrossFit and managing a fairly paleo diet if this is what’s going to happen anyway.

I feel like it saved my life though.

15th Wedding Anniversary Coming Up

Our 15th Wedding Anniversary is on Monday next week (12/16/2008).

Holy Cow.

It even came a little early. We couldn’t wait to exchange gifts so we did it this evening. CK got a luxury watch, the modern gift for the 15 year mark,  and I got some much needed Adidas gear. Even better I got to relax on my comfy couch, wearing said gear, and  watch Pat Miletich open a can of Whoop Ass on Thomas Denny (who is seeming more like a tomato can at this point). Friend of the Rear Naked Choke Mike C fought too, and won. A good night!

It’s the little things.

The Board Speaks, You Listen

INT CROSSFIT SACRAMENTO. AFTERNOON. DECEMBER. ROBERT IS DOING THE CROSSFIT HERO WORKOUT “MURPHY”. HE’S JUST ABOUT DONE WITH THE 200 PUSH UPS. SWEAT IS EVERYWHERE. HE LOOKS ANGUISHED. ANOTHER TRAINER WALKS BY.

ROBERT

Who the fuck put that on the board? You?

JAMES

Not me. Jaime. Did it unbroken yesterday though — with a 20lb+ vest. Had no mojo. Took an hour sixteen.

ROBERT

That’s Insane.

ROBERT FINISHES THE PUSHUPS AND STARTS HIS SQUATS

ROBERT

I’m never doing this again.

JAMES

James: Yeah. Until the next time it’s on the board.
