Linda and Whitnee during the 8am women's class, kicking ass and still smiling!

Are you grabbing the world by the lapels? Are you approaching your life, your relationships and your job with the same focus and drive that you give to your CrossFit workout?

hey team - im doing an oly clinic at crossfit watertown (CT) on saturday november 21. james will be there as well to coach. i think both sessions (9-12 and 2-5) have a little room in them (limit 20 people). its a little bit ot a drive, but thought i would let you all know.
shoot me an email at evaclaire AT crossfitboston DOT com if you have questions or want the link to register.
Nice quote. Maya Angelou wrote that after visiting Crossfit Boston.
“Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater.
If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby.
If you give her a house, she'll give you a home.
If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal.
If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart.
She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her.
So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit!”
I attempted to grab this WOD by the lapels, but my body wasn't complying! Thanks to the 6am crew for the cheers after I finished about 5-10 minutes after the rest of you "Fire Breathers"!
Jess, that's cute. The piece mentions sperm, real estate, foodstuffs, and affection, but not money.
11:29 w/ 1.5 pd KB
Jess, I can definitely attest to that last line! ;-)
LOL I love that post Jess
12:31 1pb KB, Banded pull ups
EC. I'm there in my Lulu's.
11:40...used the metronome on the runs and kind of loved it. Still probably wasn't perfect pose, but my foot turnover and overall pace were both much faster.
How do you say scrumptious in spanish?
Learned alot in the pose drill this morning, but was FAR from my A-game on the wod. 4 minutes slower than my PR from 1 month ago. Pull ups seems to be getting worse instead of better. I should probably stop skipping dinner and eating candy for breakfast. gah.
8:46 on the WOD. The new "perestroika" version of the KB swings are definitely faster than true American style.
woooo helen, see you at 6pm, or maybe 6:10, depending on the Mass ave traffic
7:57 on the WOD today, inside of my legs and glutes still feeling the Bulgarian one legged torture sessions but was able to put together some strong kb swings to finish quickly. Props to everyone in the 7am class for pushing hard.

If you haven't signed up for the paleo challenge, you should really think about it, Erica's got some pretty cool stuff lined up and she's looking forward to pay forward the transformation she's seen in herself (since she started paleo a few months ago she's gone from middling to head of the pack) to all of the people who show up. It'll be fun and then some :)
im stoked for the paleo challenge. looking forward to tracking whether im as paleo as i think across 10 weeks! also looking forward to more erica recipes!
That is a very fast time, Evan - nice work.
Thor,
that's because if you give her money she will just go ahead and spend it all....yup.
yup! on lulu. aduh.
Today's 6AM exemplifies what CFB means to me. I woke up at 5AM swearing at the place. I left CFB at 7AM loving the place.
10:58, but with a green assist.
