    Pole dance 3x per week, more lifting, cardio usually 2x other times, yoga 1-2x per week, swimming for an hour once or twice week, and hiking in the warm months. I do at least one other workout the 3-4 days per week I do CrossFit. Saturdays and Sundays I do one-a-days (no CrossFit) but the rest of the week I do two workouts with some combo of CrossFit/yoga/cardio/pole. Mondays I do three workouts: CrossFit/yoga/pole or CrossFit/yoga/swim.

    CrossFit is really helping my pole dancing and yoga is really helping everything.

    How do you have time for all of that??

    Time? I have no children and I don't like to do anything outside in the winter. I work nights so my days are free.

    I don't socialize a lot because I have to socialize non-stop at work (I am a bartender) and I have a huge amount of aggression (because I deal with drunks all the time) that needs to be expelled in a positive manner. :tongue: Also, no TV.

    Other than CrossFit, what other exercises/activities do you participate?

    I just signed up for the nike women's half marathon in DC. I don't find out until Dec 6th if we got in (it's a lottery), but I've started a 24 week training plan this week just in case. So, I run 3 days a week, crossfit three days a week, and one day a week I do cycling. I'm also doing the MS150 bike ride from houston to austin in april, so I have to train some for that.

    I ran that one last year! It is so much fun-- a beautiful course anda wonderful experience runnning with (mostly) other women. I'm debating entering the random draw again this year, even though it's a haul for me to get there.

    That said, I use CrossFit to enhance my running. Through the spring and summer, I typically run about 5 days a week, between 20-35 mpw. Before CF, I would do bootcamp style workouts, anything with HIIT. I try to do yoga at least once a week, as well. At the moment, I'm nursing an IT band/hip issue, so I've cut way down on my running to spend time foam rolling instead, sadly.

    I'm a beginner runner, and at this point, I'm still doing run/walk intervals and about 3 miles per run, so I have my work cut out for me... But I'm excited about the thought of my first 'real' half marathon and I hope we get picked. I've walked a half marathon last year, and I'm walking one on sunday, but I don't really count them since I'm walking for about 10 of the miles, LOL.
