In anticipation of  51 giving way to 52, MarkFu set the stage for continuing the workouts like they have been most of ‘06 and all of ‘07 and improving on them. Crossfit has the the “Filthy Fifty” and now I have the Fu Fifty Two. I invite you all try it regardless of your age. You’ll like it, especially if you are in a hot, sweaty gym! Go ahead and beat my time of 30:29; I know you can. Post to comments!

For my birthday tomorrow, I will continue the festivities by doing the Marty Gallagher pulling routine which I have dubbed “Pulldawg”

52 of everything:

Box Jumps 24″
Jumping Pull-ups
Kettlebell Swings, 20 kg
Walking Lunges
Push Presses, 45# bar
Back Extensions
Push-ups
Sit-ups
Bear Crawls
Slam Ball, 10#

30:29

Later on, Valerie and I went down the street to meet Brian MacKenzie, one of the newest Crossfit affiliates, Crossfit Newport Beach. Brian is a a highly motivated athlete and excels in ultramarathons. His facility has all the cool stuff that are mainstays of the Crossfit world. Really enjoyed the visit, Brian. We know you and your crew will continue to do some great work with your clients!
