As this week's post comes to print you'll have to admit I'm getting better at cranking them out. I feel good about it. This post on training certainly raises the bar for length and probably could be divided into three different pieces. But it was written in a multi-day stream of consciousness that I will keep together. Hope it works for you...

Okay, enough ranting and excuse making. Time to spend a post talking training! And not just any type of training, either. This is some of my favorite type. The kind spent in the weight room getting stronger. Because, let's face it, endurance athletes are some of the weakest people on the planet when compared to athletes who spend at least part of their training time pushing iron around. Greg Glassman and his cronies at CrossFit love to point out the fact that endurance types are pathetically weak. When Outside Magazine comes out with a cover story on the "Fittest Man on Earth", it's invariably a long distance athlete of some sort. Glassman just scoffs at the notion.
