CrossFit Women

Chris and I joined in on the Women's only work out on Saturday and we tackled the work out known as Helen (400m run, 21 KB swings, 12 pull ups x 3). If you are looking to get or stay in shape, join a fit community and make friends - here's your place. Despite the fact that Chris and I live in the same community and kids go to the same school (our 6th graders born on the same day!), I didn't get to know Chris until she joined in the Lake Pointe boot camp. How lucky I have been to get to know her! In addition to having enviable abs and arms, Chris is known to her fellow boot campers as the "3-minute planker"...

Coach Michael

If you've worked out with Coach Michael Gregory - you know how awsome he is. When I get the chance to work out with him - I can count on his keen eye on form and constant encouragement to push to your limits. He's got a passion for CrossFit, coaching, and nutrition -- check him out!

Tri-Freakin'-Wonderful

It's been a long running dream of mine to do the Danskin Tri. I don't know why - I suppose that if I sat on a couch in a counselors office, it would come out that I was frustrated with never being very physially fit - but I'm a tough gal. I think being raised on a farm did that for me - the tough mentality that you just pitch in and get stuff done. I have one of those rather stubborn attitudes when someone tries to tell me I can't do something. Ask Don - he wonders what gets into me sometimes when I get that "get out of my way, I'll do it" attitude.

I think that's why I dig CrossFit Central so much. In the gym or at boot camps - the coaches put those work out orders in front of you and it's up to you -- how hard are you going to work? How successful do you want to be? How much do you want to change? How tough are you?

Well, I'm tough enough to finish the Danskin Tri in 1:49:57. My realistic goal was under 2 hours. My "wouldn't it be great goal" was 1:45. In between-- good enough for me - until next year.
