CrossFit - Runs in the Family

Zooma count down.... 5 days. Knees knocking.

New Eyes

Swinging for the fences, but knowing the ball is going deep... deep over all fences trying to hold one in. Spirit of new eyes... refreshed energy.

I'm a Beliver

Went to the CrossFit Nutrition Seminar this weekend by Robb Wolf. I'm recommitted to the Zone diet - but add the Paleo component. I will start to follow his blog -- and I highly recommen his FAQ list. Giving up grains, and minimizing dairy - and going to work hard to get those veggies in. Really hard. Saw this t-shirt on one of the attendees from CrossFit Alamo. Love it -- wish my family would read it. Maybe I will send it to them - and then get the silent treatment for a while, or maybe they will open my blog and find this message -- further reminder that you can't change your body or your lifestyle unless you want it bad enough. I asked my dad to check out the two CrossFit affiliates - all within 10 or 20 miles of his home and his only reply was "think not" - bummer.

Way too Fun...

Thanks Mel for this cool website. My alter ego - kicking arse, while doing the grocery shopping. My dream! Check out the my super heros pals Mel, Jeremy and Jessica... make your own!

CrossFit Kids - The Ward Girls

CrossFit Kids is an awsome program that we got started in Lake Pointe thanks to Coach Therin Smith. Both my girls participate. This week is spring break - so the girls came to workout with me and the ladies of the 8:30 class - where both Coach Crystal McReynolds and Coach Therin put us in a competitive spirt. Slammers, dips, renegade rows, sprints, etc... Funny how the girls now talk about how hard they worked in boot camp, and how sore they are. Like mom, like daughters... Fitness for the girls is on Don and my goal list... making progress! Though I will say watch out world when the governor (4 year old) is ready for CrossFit -- you haven't seen competitive yet...

Motivators

Shout out to my coach Jeremy and my running pal and "take no prisoners" Kelly -- Wed's work out has left me quite sore and Kelly insisted we run 3m in the rain. Damn, we are tough. Fun to run while you shiver! Worked out Tuesday with fab women - including new CFC staff members Alisha and Alex. Welcome aboard!!! Tuesday -- 10/9/8 etc burpees with reps 0f 10 push press in between. Arms dead. Put milk jug on lowest shelf.

Another New PR

12 miles. Felt like crap the two hours afterward, but a almond butter smoothie from whole foods and a bottle of water, along with a shower to get the thick paste of the town lake trail dust off my skin did wonders. Kelly says 14 this Friday. Oh ship - slave driver. Zooma is 4 weeks away.

Happy 2 year anniversary to boot camp buddies Karen and Carla. We've sweated side by side now for rougly 288 arse-kicking classes. Amazing.
