Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Hi Guys! I turned 43 yesterday. I know I'm not 50 but I'll be there before I know it. What is it about having kids (10 y/o twins) that makes time go so fast? I/ve been crossfitting for about 1 1/2 years and regularly troll the message board for workout ideas, motivation, and just to learn more. I regularly hit yours alls log and love reading your posts.

I have hit almost all the Level 1 Skills that Crossfit Seattle has on their skill list. I'm still working on the 1 mile run. I still can't figure out why anyone would want to run a mile. If you can't figure out who wins a race after one lap why bother?(ex-track and swimming sprinter).

Anyway, like I said felt like since I get so much from reading your alls posts I'd like to sign on. You guys rock!

Thanks!

Mark Kaelin

Hi Mark,
Welcome, I am sure everyone here would welcome your posts anytime.
CrossFit Seattle...I read your boxes blog often, sounds like a great place to be. We did a Nutrition challenge at our box too, got the idea obviously from CF Seattle...the results on all the contestants were amazing.

Just a quick clarification, I don't train at Seattle Crossfit but I do use a lot of their WOD's and info.

I'm in Louisville, KY (home of the Kentucky Derby). I split my workouts between my back deck and the gym at the university I teach at.

Looks like your box is programming OPT-style. I started the OPT Big Dawg WODs a couple of weeks ago. Interesting programming from a very knowledgeable guy. Great time for your 50 PJ's.

WOD #2 is "Tyler", which I'm hoping to tackle shortly.

I agree with Terry, great time on your "Fran" as rx'd.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

thanks but at our gym, the rx for ladies - is only 65# plus kipping pullups!!! Last time 6/29/09 I used the band for pullups. Kind of a humiliating day.

Humiliating ? I don't think so, Deb. Any day you can work out is a good day.
Think of all the people our age who have been taught that a walk to the mailbox or a couple of hours of gardening is good exercise!

And remember, any time beats DNF (Did not finish) beats DNS (Did not start)!

So, putting the migraine aside, first time Rx'ed = Good job!
