CrossFit or Seizure?

If you can't laugh at yourself...

CrossFit PEI Wins a Marathon! Again.

My home box, CrossFit PEI, finished 1st and 3rd in the corporate team relay today at the PEI Marathon. Last year, we won it as well. Of course, I'm using the royal 'we' as I'm not a distance runner. However, I was there to cheer on the competitors and it was great to see our local affiliate throw the gauntlet down and run away with most of the prizes. Quite a feat for a lot of people who don't train for running.

One Year CrossFit Anniversary

One year ago today was my first CrossFit Workout of the Day during my fundamentals classes. When I started, I had concerns over how much I would like it and whether or not my knees would be able to take the strain due to some previous issues/surgery. Since then, CrossFit has become something that I crave. I do my best to get to 4 WODs per week and often feel like kicking myself when I miss a WOD that I know I would have liked. I am stronger, have more power, and in turn, have noticed that I feel better and look better. I have no injury concerns anymore either. And most of all, it's the CrossFit community and the people that I've met through working out that make it so rewarding.

Year #2 starts tomorrow morning at 9am. :)
