Human Race




Daughter Grace (8) skipped right past the ol' 5k effort and went right to the 10k - running the Human Race with me in Austin this weekend. Way cool to see the sea of red running around Austin - one of only 3 locations in the U.S. out of 29 around the world that hosted the event - but way cooler to have my middlest daughter run along side me.

Take my picture... please.


Had to post this just because of Angi's expression. I think it translates to - "are you really going to take my photo after Crystal just slammed us with a monster work out?" Back to school, and back to boot camp! Thanks Crystal for the kick start to the week. BC babes Angi and Chris.

Try it Again Tri - Sweet & Twisted


Third Tri -- maybe not really a charm, but I finished in under 2 hours. 500m swim, 15 mile bike and 5k run... on a nice morning, that turned into a hot afternoon. At it again with my pal "crazy" Kelly and Theresa. The Sweet & Twisted Tri - a cool womens tri series put on by Rogue Training. I didn't do any formal training as I did for Danskin - but CrossFit 3-4x per week keeps me strong - and a few swims and bike/runs kept me on track.

Under the Bridge - Free Work Out


80+ people came out in the balmy morning near Town Lake to get in a free work out this past weekend. We capture a lot of attention by those on the trail for sure! Team UTB in the background while Jeremy shows off his leaping skills... or something like that...

Who Motivates You?


Ok - it's not a photo of me doing FGB (which humbled me once again on Tuesday this week -thanks, Carey). That photo would just be me trying to catch my breath.
It's not a picture that screams "CrossFit" - but it is a picture of my motivators. More than ever, I understand that the girls learn from what I do, what I say, what I eat. Daddy is a Spartan, a CrossFitter, and will run the NY marathon this fall. How lucky I am to have a partner in life, and in health. They all four keep me in "check". Especially the little one who is three - her name is "the governor."

I just drove by and saw people doing pull-ups....

If you've been around CFC a while - you've notice we've grown. I've been around since Feb '07 as a client, and Nov '07 as a staff member - and I've seen so much change. We have this great new gym that we have been in since June programs - hope you come out to our grand opening and help us celebrate! Our new gym is getting a lot of interest - and many of the calls or emails I see say "I was driving by and saw you guys doing pull-ups" or "I see you are new to town, now what kind of gym is this?" The CrossFit philosophy is simple:

OUR BUSINESS MODEL
Build a smal space - No Big Box Gym - No machines - No mirrors - Keep plenty of open space for our members to move and workout freely and effectively - Only use equipment that requires big, calorie burning, functional movements to use. No member goes it alone - Instruct and educate everyone - Cap class and membership size so we can maintain exceptional personal service - No bells - No whistles - Just results.

YOU PAY FOR WHAT YOU GET
Every single time you walk through our doors you have one of our top-notch coaches with you, leading you through a unique, high-energy, results-driven workout aimed at maximizing your success. There's no going it alone, no boredom, and no members that don't use their memberships, like those big box gyms. We have the WOD (work out of the day) planned for you - so just show up ready to roll. Nearly 100% of our members are here several times-per-week, working hard, getting fit, and having fun. Like we always say, it's a difference you have to experience for yourself... So don't just drive by and miss out. COME PLAY WITH US.

The Games - The Glory

All the buzz around CrossFit Central for the last couple months, this last weekend, and for weeks to come has been and will be the CrossFit Games - and the team we sent from Austin to compete. Jeremy, Michael, Zachary, Lance, Kris, Ken, Richard, Lisa, Crystal... all made us proud. Hit their blogs and read all about it - because it's just amazing and motivating. Hit the CrossFit.com site and watch the video of the young girl competing - Kallista Pappas - it's simply mind-blowing. Comments about the games were posted on the CrossFit.com site from all around the world - including our soldiers over in Iraq and Afghanistan. Next time you see Jeremy, be sure to ask to see that 3rd place medal. We are all so proud of him! Are you CrossFit? If not, get here and get some! Now!
