Vacation this month, so I won't be setting my miles too high for August - Going for 100 miles !! August 1st: 12 miles (*Spin*) Total (*so far): 12 miles

I'm going to pass this WOD onto the owner/trainer at my box and ask that it get programmed into the schedule in honor of your sister. Again, I am so very sorry for your loss and hope that you will find comfort and peace in the memories you have of her. All my best. Mark

I'm back for another month - This time it's for the motivation to help keep me going (*been lacking it lately*).

I know this isn't going to sound right, but I don't care what I look like as long as I'm comfortable (*sorry*). It doesn't need to coordinate or have a name on it . . . Chances are whatever I'm wearing is going to get soaked from sweat, dirty from hitting the ground (burpees) and covered in chalk. So for me it's a basic…

I always kiss my hands/palms "good-bye" when the WOD has bar work . . . As much as its a badge of honor for Crossfitters, to share/post the pics (*we've all done it), finding the solution is an on-going challenge for most people I know. I've tried everything: Tape, More Chalk; Less Chalk; No Chalk. I've tried the generic…

Such terriible & devestating news . . . May everyone who lost a familiy member or loved one aboard flight MH-17 find peace and comfort in the next comming days, weeks and years in the memories of those they lost. *Rest in peace*

Looks like it will be a lot of upper-body work for the next three months (weighted pull-ups?; muscle-ups?; handstands?; etc.) and then when your shoulders are hurting/sore, your doctor will tell you to take a break from those activities and you can back to the legs/knees . . . Its a visicious cycle that I also am a part of…

I have 2 WODs that I"ll share - Almost 2 years ago, when my dog, who was a frequent "WOD Dog" died, the next week a WOD was programed in his honor and named after him. It was tough, both physically and emotionally to complete. Just last week, a couple who met at our box got engaged. The guy planned it with everyone,…

I have only used them while running and noticed a difference during and after the runs (*compared to not wearing them). They are not "true" compression socks or sleeves. They are Reebok's athletic compression socks. One of my next purchases will be actual compresison calf sleeves.

I know the feeling . . . my 40 year old knees creek all the time. I would defintely add an extra "recovery" day into your schedule for a few weeks. I'm not suggesting all all out rest day, but switch to something for a day (instead of CrossFit) that will be more low-impact on your knees. Great options that I have…

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.

There is no magic pill or drink . . . You need to eat healthy/clean and exercise daily - - Good for Sen. Claire McCaskill for calling him and the supplement industry out !!!

With the triathlon season underway here in the Northeast, I've been going about 3 times a week, sometimes only twice. Normally (*or went not training), I WOD between 4-5 times a week.
