Oh yay! We get to run….

March 27th, 2009, by

Again....where WERE you guys! Last night was a fun running night. Brian definitely wins for having the most enthusiasm for running. He walked in, saw the workout and squealed with glee and shouted "RUNNING!"

50 burpees

I'll be honest...I still h9 running. For those of you not familiar, an h9 is similar to an h8...but it's MORE than h8, it's h9! Garth, and Mariah talk lovingly about all the fun they have running and enjoying watching nature pass by. All I can think about when I'm running is that I'm going to DIE! My times have improved, so I'm getting faster, but my love isn't growing. Not even a little.

On the other hand, Brian and Boyd KILLED this workout. Those boys ran like they stole something! I think their first 400m run was just a few seconds over 1:00. What's your secret??

Check out Boyd's SWEET burpee! He's spiking an imaginary volleyball, or slam dunking an imaginary basketball...look how high he jumps!

Kelli - we're glad you made it down to Florida safe and sound. Grab your stop watch and do this workout while you're down there in the sunshine. Post your 400m split times and your time it takes to complete burpees to comments! It's your CrossFit homework!

    I can't believe I missed this workout. Dangit.

    One a side note: One of my co-workers just laughed at me because I was smiling as I was reading the blog. I tried to explain the joys of CrossFit, but some people won't listen. Unfortunately, I had to beat him up. Okay... thats not true, but you could imagine what it would be like if it was.

    On another side note: Hope you're having a great time in Florida, Kelli!

    I did NOT squeal. It was a very manly and baritone YAWP.

    Either way...I need to run more. Boyd and I both said we went out waaay too hard on interval #1. Did you see the gap between my #1 and #5? *Hangs head in shame*

    The 400m run record will be under 60 seconds. This I promise.

    oh, sorry for the misrepresentation Brian...from where I was standing it sounded like someone told an 8yr old girl she had front row tickets to a Jonas Brothers concert.

    You were on the other side of the gym behind the wall. I'm sure that explains it. x-(

    And the Jonas Brothers? Who the heck are they?

    Brittany, all you have to do is ask him if he likes to have and if he would like to get sexy. Nobody could honestly answer no to those questions ;)

    Damn it! The one day this week that I miss and it's running. I think Bill did that on purpose. Oh well, next time.

    Oh, now Sparky, I love it. Here's some more ideas:

    1) CrossFit Fire: Your workout is my warm up!

    2) CrossFit Fire: Where "jerks" & "thrusters" in public = COOL

    3) CrossFit Fire: Where the world is a lot brighter because your pupils are the size of dimes

    Thoughts? :)
