Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Great work, Guys!

@Patrick - Very sorry to hear about your father-in-law. My condolences to your family.

@Cliff - Hang in there; we are rooting for you. Enjoy your time in Mexico; that should be a great break. Agree with Jan's comment about getting your testosterone checked. You might also consider vitamin D supplementation. Numerous articles on the web about relationship between low vitamin D and depression. Mercola, Vitamin D Council, Dr. Weil, etc. Given where you live, you aren't getting any from the sun these days. I know that for sure since the sun only just got high enough on the horizon a few days ago to get vitamin D here in CO.

For those of you who remember him, JT Kalnay died a year ago. I got a reminder today from the tributes website where we were able to offer condolences to his family.

The sore throat and bad headache from last week turned out to be a sinus infection. The good news is that I only missed two days of skiing. 18 days on the slopes so far and have skied at five different resorts. The lessons have been very helpful. I'm learning how to use technique instead of leg strength to move around the mountain. As a result, I'm a lot less tired at the end of the day. Jan was less than amused the other day when I told her I wanted to do another run after we finished our lesson. :)

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Jan- You are in BEAST MODE doing a 1/2 Marathon on the Rowwer!!! I've yet to try 10K. I spent the past Satuday being a Judge as our Box had its 1st Competition. That is we had paying customers doing a 4WOD Comp. It was cool and at the end of the day I was so tired I thought I had done the Comp.!! Each was 2Min long with only 2Min. rest between each round. So 37Min each. I think I judged 7 Teams. I was there from 7:30am to 5pm.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Alden, Thanks for reminding us of JT! He was awesome! RIP

Patrick, That competition sounds like an great event!
