Hello guys. Before I start posting about how to survive the zombie apocalypse I thought I would make a video on pre zombie world prep as well as how to enjoy yourself. First, before you watch the video be warned. It is absolutely a waste of time unless you are completely lost in this life. That said I’m going to tell you a little bit about my day. First of all on my way to work my car, Norma (properly named after a dead lady), decided to blow a tire, totally my fault for neglecting her. After which, her battery died, she has a weak heart. To the rescue, my beautiful Germanese man came and saved the day. Dear Bryant, thank you for being awesome and for loving me.
This brings me to a very important rule when trying to survive the Z world. Be prepared, and be resourceful! Never get stuck in a spot where you are without equipment for your machinery or weapons. Otherwise be ready to discard and move on without them. Bringing me to my next rule, never get too attached to your material items, they can and will become setbacks when push comes to shove. Zombies wont wait till your done loading your shotgun before they attack.
Here is my video breakdown:
Workout to be strong, fast, and have endurance, this will heighten your chances of survival.
Spend time with loved ones, they might get eaten or may be valuable allies.
Go shopping, you want to look fabulous when the world goes to shit. It may also be the last thing you do as a human.
I’ll be participating in the 2011 Courage Games Winter edition. It’ll take place at Coyote Point Park in San Mateo, CA. They haven’t made any announcements as to what the workouts are going to be so it should be exciting when its all dumped on us. I look forward to being pushed in the heat of competition. I have sort of flat-lined recently with my training. partly because I have been sick, and partly because I have become bored. This challenge will boost my interest and remind me why I have been training so hard. Or so I hope. It will open up new doors as the 2011 CrossFit Games approach ever nearer.
Aside from training I am going to Zone in on my diet. Although I have been eating well, I have been over indulging and eating too much. For example, today I engorged myself with some delectable meat, but I filled myself to the top. Basically I have felt sick all day. Not the best feeling to accompany my sinus and ear infection. Boo!
Last thing, Valentines is almost here and I have some awesome things planned and I have been careful to keep my planning a secret. I’ll post photos some time next week. They should be pretty spiffy.
The long awaited age that allows you access into damn near any establishment is finally upon me. What do I need to wait for now? What is the next milestone?
Well, I will admit that I have been having loads of fun visiting random bars and actually using my real name. I no longer need to be Natasha, which has been great! Also, this past week was awesome because I have been progressing quite nicely. I hit a new overhead squat PR at #150, which is a #25 increase since I last attempted a one rep max. I think the drinking the night before helped me out.
Aside from all that jazz, a friend of mine and I are in the process of starting up a Bootcamp, primarily for women, in the Bay Area. We will kick it off in San Ramon/Dublin/Pleasanton area, but I’m thinking it has potential to grow pretty quick. We will also be offering Personal Training services.
Life isn’t all cookies and butterflies, it’s dark, wicked, and filthy. Some how CrossFit has become a ray of sunshine in this world of darkness. Not only is it something that people genuinly enjoy putting themselves through, it better equipts us for the challenges ahead. Freddy C. of CrossFit One World wrote an article about this topic not too long ago. Some sceptics and haters have determined that Crossfit atheletes are preparing for some superhuman feat that they will likely never face. Freddy responds
Sure, I might live my entire life and never need to perform a heroic act….or, I might have to perform several in one day. Who knows? We know not what life has in store for us tomorrow. A mom or dad might have to save their family from a house fire. A teacher might have to protect his/her students from some heinous act of school violence. A firefighter or police officer may go to work tomorrow and not return home to their loved ones.
I agree with Camacho completely, but I would also like to add how CrossFit betters us all in our basic, unsuperhuman parts of life. Grandma can carry her grocieries all the way to her car without assistance or stopping for a break, grandpa can put the heavy bucket of paint in its place on the shelf in the garage without a stool or ladder. Mom can lift and walk with that piece of furniture that just needs to be in another room, and not wait for her husband to come home from work, dad can open that pickle jar without throwing out his back, and the kids, well, they dominate the neighborhood with their superior lumbar curve and always get picked first for any game.
See, CrossFit helps.
