I think too that the members would be at least willing to do their WODs in a garage, after all community is one of the most prominent aspects of crossfit. However, I would caution you about the liability and possible affect having a box in your garage could affect your personal time and space. Will you be expected to make…

Thanks for the share! Perfect when traveling and I don't want to use the hotel mini-gym that only has cardio equipment.

there is someone in the primal/paleo board that is selling her BodyMedia Fitlink.

watching him in the Crossfit games was impressive... he's a machine - nothing phased him... blew me away.

Good read but it kept me wondering more about his background...hmm. Thanks for sharing.

I go to the sporting goods stores and buy from the sale rack. I have some decent stuff from Target as well. I've noticed at my box that most girls wear graphical tanks from crossfit events or boxes. That and running shorts or volleyball shorts seem to be the norm.

I'm sorry you are in pain. But I find it funny because I can totally relate! After my first day I was so sore I could barely walk and there was no way I was going back the next day. I didn't go back until the following week because it took that long to get back to normal. Believe it or not, it will get easier and each time…

funny because today's WOD is four rounds of running 400 meters - blah! I wasn't planning on going tonight anyway. :tongue: I think I'd rather do burpees than run. The thing is that I do run/jog outside of xfit but just don't like it in WOD. Maybe it's because I can run anytime - why spend precious WOD time running?

Awesomeness! Thanks for sharing your story with the group!

I haven't quite mastered how to get my minutes per mile but I run anywhere between 4.5 and 5 mph... I think I'm around 13 miles per minute and it sure feels slow. But in my defense, I've got short legs! I'm only 5'3" :blushing:

Yes I forgot horseback riding! Excellent.

Well I'm a firm believer is slow build up and am paranoid about getting injured. There is nothing wrong with taking it slow and incorporating lots of walking to prevent further injury to your heel.

I'm planning on using the Zen Labs c210K and start as soon as I'm done with C25K. I'm in week 8; I should have been done long ago with C25K but I didn't have an actual 5K to run in (next one is in September) so I was just taking it slow. I just need to find the one hour per session that it takes to do the 10K program! :-)

Same here!

Today I actually did an official c25k run -W7D3 completed.

I read a primal eating book by Art De Vany and there he spoke about the box type gyms. This is about two years ago. At that time, I searched for boxes and could not find many in my area. That, of course has now changed and there quite a few, so when I finally visited one and took some intro classes I decided to go ahead…

Forty-five minutes of burpees? That's crazy... you'd think he could have given you a little variety! Maybe even an extended baseline?

Before I started participating in 5Ks I didn't realize just how many take place. Google local running groups or local running/sports stores, as they always have events going on. Also active.com has listings. There's other athlete-type websites but I can't think of names right now.

W7D1 today and I felt extremely tired. I think it's because I ran yesterday too and I should have rested or just walked today. There's something to be said about listening to your body!

It's disappointing that your box would promote that. My box has a nutrition program available but it's with a registered dietician, who by the way, does not promote Paleo or supplements. Instead she works with each person on their particular needs.

I know chocolate milk is a popular post-marathon drink. The combination of sugar and protein helps the runners recover.

On my off days from running, I walk! it's so relaxing for me, I love it. I've also just got serious about Crossfit... been slowly building up for 3 months but now i'm in it for sure.

I have my own theory on this Jane person - she's wants to drive traffic to her blogs. The more she spams by sending those links and people click on them, the more traffic to her pages (I assume the pages are hers). I didn't click on the links - not really all that interested in her rhetoric.

I agree about logging the exercise. I've ended up doing something called calesthetics in MFP but that doesn't even scratch the surface of the hard work, variety of moves, and calorie count. I've been thinking about getting a FitBit in the hopes that it will capture the calories accurately.

I recently stopped WW before joining MFP. Remember that you can use your weekly points too - I always did because the 26 I was allowed per day was not sustainable for me. I think you may not be eating enough; also, try eating more protein. Our leader used to say that if you are stuck, then you need to change something -…

Completed W6D3 today. I felt so inspired that I installed the C210K app on my phone! Maybe, just maybe I can run a 10k in February next year!

Hi there - this week I completed my on-ramp sessions and attended my first "real" class. Of course I had to scale everything - the lightest KB, knee push-ups. I also have *no* upper body strength -never have but I'm hoping that will change very, very soon!

awesome and congratulations! :flowerforyou:

Excellent! Great job! :flowerforyou:
