ATTENTION: This workout has changed from original post
WOD: Stolen from Littleton and modified a little....if you can't get to treadmills or a place to walk/run then replace these movements with something taxing on the lungs.. you can always scale, even if it is with a diff movement
2 Rounds:
200M Farmers Carry(30lb object in each hand - I would recommend KB or DB)
400 M Sprint
10 Hand Release push ups
12 k2e
15 overhead lunges w/bar (45lb)
NOTES: -Farmers Carry - Simply hold something (in this case a 25lb plate) in each hand and walk the prescribed distance...feel free to jog (or yog you use a soft 'j') if you can... I will likely be walking because I will be on a treadmill and will have to set the speed and just hope this works out
-K2E is knees to elbows (hang on pull up bar and hit your knees on your elbows)
-Overhead lunges can be walking if you have room or stationary if you don't
WOD: Slightly modified from OneWorld
Complete 25-20-15-10-5 reps for time of:
Box Jump (24")
KB Swing (45lb)
KB Goblet Squat (45lb)
Choose: Run 100m -or- 30 double Unders -or- 7 Burpees
NOTES: Feel free to use a DB instead of a KB...scale as needed
Also, the workout calls for the 100m run but I can't do taht at my gym so I arbitrarily made up some other items and the conversions may not be fair...too bad. I will likely do double unders
Starting my 3rd Wendler Cycle and i'm pumped! I havn't gone far enough to be PR'ing in the cycle but I am getting stronger no doubt. If progress continues i'm thinking i'll keep this up through 5 or 6 cycles and then re-test some old CrossFit workouts to see the progress

Really liked this Littleton WOD below.
Also, keep in mind, if i've learned anything from CrossFit gyms that I like it, a full 'workout' shouldn't just be a WOD. You should Warm up, work on a skill or lift heavy, and then WOD (or something like that). You should always be working on something, trying to get better outside the WOD so that in the future you are better. Don't worry about 'using up your strength' so you do poorly on the WOD, who cares what your score actually is, or frankly how much time/reps you 'lost' by working on things before it. Just try not to burn out what you are using in the WOD (ex. don't do hand stand push ups before the WOD has push press in it). Anywho, sometimes I post a little skill/weight work as a reminder but I leave it up to you to attack your weaknesses on a daily basis.

Back Squat 3x12 (work on form)
Front Squat 3x5 (work on strength)

Good luck!
WOD: Stolen from Littleton and it looks like fun
On the 2:30 Minute Interval for 15 minutes:
15 KB Swings (24)
Sprint to opposite end of Gym
12 Squat Clean Thruster (45) (start all reps from the ground and do full squat clean thruster)
Sprint back to kettlebell
Penalty: After the workout, for each round not fully completed, do 5 overhead squats with 55lbs.
There is no distance for the sprint so i'm going to try to find the bigger room we have at my new gym and do it there. Also, The squat clean thruster was supposed to be a squat clean thruster ball slam with 25lb but I have no idea what that is. Also, for 2 days this workout was posted as "on the 2min interval for 14 min" they must have found out it was impossible. I made up the penalty....isn't this fun!
WOD:
4 Rounds:
12 Front Squat (75lb)
