Re: Coming off a 2month break
Blair, did you leave Sacramento?
If not, you could always come join the SPW guys for workouts. We're primarily CFFB (which I'll put the blame squarely on YOU for). :p

Re: Programming with Injuries
I'd say CrossFit Endurance. Conditioning exercises are pretty light-weight and easily modified. The main focus is the run or bike (probably not the swim in his case).

Re: I'm Not "Getting" Crossfit
If strength is your primary goal, switch from CrossFit.com to CrossFit Football, or some other strength and power-biased version of the programming.
To your point, though, the primary advantage of...

Re: Defining Fire Breathing
A few ways to look at this.
Option #1 (my favorite): Who cares? Get fit, and go hard. What do you care whether you're a firebreather or not? Are you getting better? Why does the label matter? ...

Re: Starting Tonight!
Just from personal experience (and that of friends), the first month or so is pretty brutal for most people. Hang in there, your body will adjust.
