    You have a dream about doing Fran.

    The WOD. Not the person.

    When you carry around Aquaphor like it's a little baby.

    When you always have a very large and varied stash of band-aids and Neosporin.

    When you travel with your jump rope and wrist wraps because you know you're going to drop-in to a box somewhere.

    ....how you do your hair for work in the morning is determined by how sore you are from doing yesterday's WOD. Cindy guarantees a few days of wearing my hair down...

    You can't recognize any of your friends out, because you don't know what they look like in real clothes.

    I know there are some vegan Crossfitters out there but one of my greatest challenges is taking longer than expected running errands around town and being like, "Oh my gosh, where am I going to get some cooked meat and some veggies on the run? Maybe an avocado? GRRRR." Drive thrus just don't work and I get super HANGRY!

    When your full size truck breaks down and you push it out of the road yourself . Some dude actually stopped and was like wow girl that was awesome and I was like yes it was!

    I'm heading to North Carolina's Outer Banks for a week at the beach in July. The nearest box is 50 miles from where I'm staying, so I figure I'll go there twice (gotta get some swag) and am going to pack my rope, a yoga mat (mainly to stand on as a I jump so I don't scuff the rope on concrete) and my 1.5pd kettlebell.

    We just have to walk over a dune to the beach so I foresee a few morning beach workouts in my future. Probably a modified verson of my first ever CF workout during my free class.

    500m row (run in this case)
    40 air squats
    30 sit ups
    20 push ups
    (no place to do 10 pull ups so I will drop those)

    First time took me 11 minutes, second time I tried it was under six minutes. This time will probably be a 4 repetitions for time or AMRAP 30.

    My friends always make fun of me because I almost always have a baggie of almonds or an avocado in my purse or both :)

    I also always have a lacrosse ball :)

    ^I know where every Chipotle/Qdoba in a 20 mile radius is for this very reason. I'll usually go ahead and get the beans too
  • When your husband builds you a pull up station and a jump box in his garage and it is the most romantic thing he could've done for you!

    :love:

    You go online shoe shopping for nanos or oly lifting shoes and get all giddy, but heels and cute boots no longer hold shopping appeal.

    You spent more than $5 on a jump rope, and it's not from target.

    You size up every heavy object that you see and say, "I bet I could easily deadlift that !!"

    *A favorite the members of my box do - Post a photo of yourself in a handstand next to a major landmark while on vacation. And of course, wearing a t-shirt from our box.

    Everytime you hear the song "Amazing Grace" you think of Grace the workout. When you hear 3...2...1.. you get butterflies and look for chalk.....you look down on ppl who workout with gloves...you stop caring about what you bench and worry about how much you snatch.......

    Look down on me for gloves all you want, but when I have a meeting the next day the last thing I need are open blisters on my hands. :drinker:

    When you talk about your snatch so much that your husband no longer giggles at its mention.

    When you wake up and make the conscious decision to skip the early Saturday morning WOD to sleep in... you end up doing burpee penalties in your dream.


    AHAHAHAHAAAAAA this made me laugh out loud. So true. thanks for that!

    You get that great racing heart, adrenaline rush feeling when you log on to see what the day's WOD will be....

    You know you are a crossfitter when "snatch" "thruster" and "burpee" are no longer funny words.

    I went to get something at CVS and on the front door they had RX hours... I thought of WODs...

    "I cleaned my snatch" still sounds bad...
