WOD

Not that serious 🙂

I’m so sorry guys, I got late added to a Level 2 course in Baltimore this coming weekend. I’ve scheduled time off for Feb 23-25 so we can have some events! So THAT IS THE WEEKEND. Apparently that works out well with super bowl and stuff. Taylor will be so happy. OMG! If they lose, she’ll be able to write a song about it! HA 🙂 That would be amazing.

February 11th! Showshoeing! I’m not sure where we’re headed, but it’ll be snowy, close and not an impassibly steep nasty mess. It’ll be gorgeous, bright, and snowy 🙂 Bring what you need, for yourself. The gym isn’t providing anything but an opportunity to have a good time with your crew.

The CrossFit Open:

Feb 29th – March 18th. 3 Weeks!

What that means for us: Friday night we smash 🙂 March 1st, 8th and 15th! Thursday is the Gymnastics Days, be excited for those, and beyond the heavy standardization of those workouts, we’ll be doing what we always do: take great care of you all so that we get fitter and have fun doing it! It’ll be great. Be excited, and carve out some time on Friday nights for us at the gym!

Please don’t be intimidated by the Open, it’s just workouts like we always do 🙂

In all seriousness, how crazy it is that it’s only been 60 years since the south stopped segregation. That’s actually not that long ago.

Snow forecasted for Tuesday (maybe), keep a keen eye on this website for info related to it if anything does come up. I know some of you guys look at Lynnwood’s site, but they’re different gyms and the conditions might be totally different. Stay tuned here 🙂

I went around this morning with Carrie and drove all around Edmonds and Lynnwood to see if it was bad. It’s really not bad at all 🙂 See you in the gym!

OK OK OK, it’s supposed to be snowy and like 13 degrees or something. I’m all for “being tough” and “embracing the suck” of doing things in the cold and all that, but there’s a point where it’s just nasty and not cool. Sub 35 is that point 🙂

So ignore what you’ve signed up for on the board, this saturday is “normal” class time, and a good nasty triplet to smash away at.

If the weather gets super nasty with snow and roads are bad etc., PLEASE CHECK HERE FOR UPDATES.
