Use 65 lbs. for barbell exercises and 20 lb. DBs for man-makers.

Make sure you've got something in the tank for this one and make it count so that your body can mechanize as you are resting and feeding your face on Turkey Day.

I thought about your comment of being "a little bit embarrassed" about your time as I was wanting to bonk and thinking "how'd he finish in just over an hour?" Well, this wod was a beauty. My hat is off to anyone who would begin this wod with the genuine intent to complete it and my extra make-believe hat is off to those who complete it. I feel it is a worthy tribute to an awesome holiday. I did my runs on a treadmill and completed in 1:01:34. I laid down after and cried and then fell into a coma. What a beautiful thing intensity is!

The important question our mocking impostor visitor Kristi failed to answer is how long it took her to eat half a pumpkin pie. Details, details, details!

All in good fun, Kristi. We love you and we're glad to have you in our fan club.

1. I will promise to do my best. My best will vary from day to day, from hour to hour, from minute to minute. But in that minute, I will do the very best that I can.

2. Lactic acid is my friend. The wind is my friend. Anything that opposes me is actually helping me to become stronger. If I had no opposition, I would be weak.

3. If I can run, I run. If I have to walk, I walk. When I am forced to crawl, I crawl. And then I rest and live to fight another day.

4. I fear no man but fear my workout. If I don't fear my workout, it isn't hard enough.

5. I may puke. I may cry. But I will never quit. Ever.

6. I never cheat. There is no honor in cheating. What joy can there be in a victory I did not earn?

7. The workout missed is the opportunity missed. I will not cheat myself of the opportunity to become a better athlete and person.

8. I understand the value of the push-up, the pull-up, the sit-up, the squat, and the deadlift. Just as there are a million ways to make chicken, so too are there a million ways to squat, sit-up, pull-up, push-up, and deadlift.

9. I will give everything I have. And then I will find more within myself.

10. I don't complain. Complaining is for crybabies. There are 11,232 babies born in the U.S. everyday. I will leave the crying to them and I will soldier on.

11. I will bite off challenges, spit out results, and beg for more. What are you going to do?
