Some of whats been goin' on

Deb "She-ra" Brown did 5x5 textbook deads today at 165#!! Awesomeness

Ariel pulled something in her neck doing pull ups. Tim tried to make her feel better. Get better Ariel!!

Lori made it in today for her birthday WOD. She rocked it at 12:43!

What a gym cat!!

Happy Birthday Lori!!

Come in and celebrate by doing her Birthday workout! It's a great one!

Loved this short but sweet blog!

Welcome to the Double Under Club!

Ariel, Jessica, Courtney, Karen L. and Dad!!!

Yesterday we had 5 people doing a CrossFit workout downstairs while 6 people were kickboxing upstairs! (Cliff, why are you always looking at the camera!!) I love it when the barn is full of people doing good things! Bridgette trying out the new dip station!

Awesome

Had 3 chics in here this morning doing "Cindy" with unassisted pull ups!! How cool is that??

Halloween/Century

Lots of fun with our friends from Rochester! Big thanks to Omar for getting the video which I will get out to you as soon as I get a bit more organized. There's some great video!!

Halloween Party Tonight!!!

I think it's worth coming just to see this live and in person, don't you??

Karen came within an inch of her first pull up last night! Soon, lady, soon!

What do you believe?

Ok. Lis Darsh of CrossFit Watertown and CFHQ challenged affiliates to post 10 thing we believe...so here it goes.

1. I believe that everyone has value and should be treated as such.
2. I believe that moderation (in everything but a WOD!) is almost always smart.
3. I believe that a good sense of humor makes everything go better.
4. I believe that most people have good intentions.
5. I believe that hard work is good for our bodies and our souls.
6. I believe that people should eat real food in reasonable quanties and not obsess about it.
7. I believe I've truly helped more people in 3 years as a trainer than I did in 20 years of nursing.
8. I believe you will excel at what you consistently practice...in the gym and in life.
9. I believe that good relationships with other people is essential to health and happiness.
10. Beliefs need to be evaluated and tested frequently.

Emily went to CrossFit Buffalo today

and this is what happened. Good work Dave, good work.

Yeah!!

Lori and Marsha, deadlifting and burpeeing

Marsha has been consistently crossfitting since April and has made many great gains in her fitness, but in the last week she has really ramped it up! She has discovered intensity! She thinks it is because she finally conquered the box jump and I think I agree with her. The confidence she gained by that accomplishment!! She finally overcame her fear of the box jump and thus opened up a whole new world for herself. Often it is our "brain getting in the way" or "too many minds" as George often says. Don't let your brain get in the way.

Bridgette back squatting and GOOD job Timmy!

Talk about someone else who has applied the discipline of consistency and is seeing fantastic results. Bridgette is doing awesome!!

T-shirts and Totals

Cassie and Steven did their first CrossFit totals last night. They did GREAAAAT!!

George visited CrossFit Casco Bay and Crossfit Costa Mesa in the last week while he was traveling for work and on vacation. He brought me this really cool shirt from Costa Mesa!

Just some great pics and a reminder that our Halloween Party is this Saturday!

Cliff's got his costume for Saturday! Have you??

Maisy went home today

We will miss her, but Ariel said maybe she can visit again!

I've also got a great week of workouts planned to make us stronger, faster, better and we have the Halloween party this Saturday!! Trying to figure out how we can incorportate some pumpkin carving into this weeks workouts!

Friday Stuff

Cliffy squatting "almost as much as Courtney" but looking pretty good! Maisy napping after a hard day at CrossFit doggy day camp.

Rockstar making that rope her bitch and Cooper's Mom (a.k.a. Becky) swinging a kettlebell!!

Some interesting reading for you!

Hilarious description of FGB (note: if you are offended by foul language-don't read!)

Tim's not real happy

Ariel's dog Maisy is staying with us this week! She's a great dog! Tim, however, just doesn't see it that way just yet and is a bit resentful to have a dog in his feline domain. I think he'll get over it.

Numbers doing his birthday WOD and everyone else hitting some Bears.

Found this little video on One Worlds blog this morning. Now trying to figure out where we can put the pole in the barn!

Happy Birthday Numb3rs!

His actual birthday was on Saturday, but we're all celebratin' today! It's a good one!

I had a wonderful surprise this morning when Nick came in for a workout with his mom! And there was a man maker party going on at 9 AM!

Got your costumes ready??

We had some fun with dumbbells yesterday, and Tim made sure we kept everthing in order. He has certainly accepted the gym as his domain.

The Halloween party is in 2 weeks!!! Cliffy ordered his "Clifford the Big Red Dog" costume. I've got mine, Stash has a pretty good idea and I know Marsha has at least 2 to choose from! If you're going to compete in the Century make sure it's something you can do pullups in!!
