Home is … CrossFit

Yeah, I wrote that. Despite taking almost two years off from an official gym, within minutes of (grudgingly!) re-joining the sport, Aspen CrossFit quickly and seamlessly became my home and the people my family. Moving to Newport Beach, one of the first items on my agenda was to find the right box to call home [...]

3 Training Goals Before 2013

It’s beginning to look a lot like CrossFit … I’ve been out of a regular CrossFit “box” for quite some time, doing outdoor, .com, Football, and Outlaw WODs. I have the motivation and determination that allows me to train by myself, and I like it. But I also miss the community, the competition, and the [...]

100s

CrossFit Workout: 100 Thrusters for Time. Maximum pain in the minimum amount of time. Me: 12:10 at 75#, the soreness kicked in before the reps were even done. The personal trainer next to me watched me complete my reps and said, “I wanna be like you when I grow up.” He’s older than me. Today, [...]

Back to Nature’s Garage Gym

Better-lookin’ jorts

I have a pair of jorts that I’ve had for quite some time. Since my eBay buying phase, when I ordered a pair of Hollisters that were too short for these long legs. Probably early college, let’s call it. They have fit me more or less the same way since then, as my shape may [...]
