Great job by all “donut crew”.sounded like a lot of PRs going on.this a.m. Kelly – I’m truly amazed by your progress, strength and determination. Let me be the first to congratulate you on your (I believe) first muscle up. Awesome job! The smile on your face was priceless.

HaPpY BiRtHdAy LoRiN! You are going to love today’s WOD.

Thanks, Lee! Yes, yes, yes! Indeed, you witnessed my very 1st muscle up. I am still smiling =) Thanks for the tips and encouragement Sam, Lee, Bevin, Brandon, and Tim.

Brandon – cool article, but my favorite part is the T-shirt. It is very sad, but that’s not much of an exaggeration of the state of “health” in this country.
Also, contrary to the general belief – chiropractic care is not just an awesome approach to treating back pain and musculoskeletal disorders but is a very important part of a Wellness Lifestyle.

I was going to congratulate FIRST!!! Congrats Kelly bear!

Happy bday Lorin!!!

Some perspective:

Only two countries in the world allow drug companies to advertise to the public – U.S.
and New Zealand. In the U.S. they spend over $4 Billion/year in direct-to-consumer advertising. Over $16 Billion/year is spent to influence physician’s perscription habits = $10K/medical doctor in the U.S. per year. In 2006 Pharmacies filled nearly 5 Billion prescriptions = more than 1/month for every person in the U.S.

Thanks, Bevin!!

Beat you to the punch Bevin, slow poke. Happy birthday Lorin!

Happy Birthday Lorin! Congrats to Kelly who joined the Muscle Up Club today.

WOD – 25:20 – PR I think. Thanks for the pace Debbie – I needed someone to chase.

Happy Birthday Lorin!!!

Kelly, wish I could have been there to see that-great job. Gary is amazed at how strong you are and how great you look!!!
Do not get me going on the pharmaceutical companies and costs-the health insurance agent that I am..I could fill the page!!!! so I will go on to the WOD!!

Last time 26:43, this time and out of strength and back to metcons for 3 weeks, 25:30. Awesome PR for me. Really pleased with this time!!!!

Great job Sam and Madison

Nice PR, Debbie! And thanks!

I am sure you could write a book on the topic- maybe we will do that together!

Would love to do that, Kelly, and incorporate the fact that if people just get off there butt and do something for themselves rather than searching, waiting for that “quick fix” for weight loss, optimal health-what a great article. More people should discover the benefits of chiropractors, massage therapists instead of running to the doctor for more drugs…. Gonna send it to my Mom…love her though very much.
And what he says about cost of insurance and health care-if we all just engaged in this thought process we would be a much healthy America….
I will sign off now…

Sam – just saw your post. Thanks!! Awesome job btw – Great time, esp since you did a little extra.

Should I be expecting a membership card in the mail??

Doc – Way to go on the MU

Happy birthday, Lorin

Kelly great job on the MU. any hints at today’s WOD? I can’t make it in today, busy getting ready for my trip to Arizona this week plus today is the first day of soccer practice for Luke and I sign up as a assistance coach, got to love herd ball with 5 year olds.

Bill, I’m thinking it must be something no one would show up for if announced!

As it turns out, I can’t make it in today anyway – I have a walk-through on the new house at 5 today. Thinking I may go for a run… based on comment times I think a 5K may be a reasonable “sub”.

john, im thinking that as a sub a 10k would be approved by crossfit

Running? Seriously Brandon!! Me and my big mouth!!

Breaking News from Crossfit main headquarters: zip zap zop will be introduced at the 2012 crossfit games, 5 rounds for time

Thank you everyone for the bday wishes!!!!! hahaha ohhhhh god out of all the pictures!!! this was the best one! hahaha gotta love it!

I love how everyone CONVENIENTLY won’t make it in today….

I am the newest member of USAW! – probably.

Nice pic Kelly. Did you see the rankings they posted recently…

15 OHS @ 105

23:41 on the mystery WOD

Yes I did – I ranked 30 in my class…so far.

It was so good to see everyone at the birthday party on Saturday. I kept my word and hit the 5:30 class although I had a VERYSTRONG feeling what the WOD was going to invovle.

You know me and running….not a good combination. I did 2 laps of the 5K in about 23:ish. B says that’s about 3000meters. I wish I would have done the 3rd lap now. Next time for sure!

Great job 5:30 class….nice to meet all the new faces.

Teeters

John’s mystery WOD – 25:24

My last 5k run was May 3rd in 25:19 – so not too bad considering how little I ran this summer and how bad my diet has been while in a hotel for 3 months! Had some calf cramping at the end (not surprising as I have a long history of compartmental syndrome related problems).

38:10 and seeing as my best 5K on a treadmill in the AC is about 35 minutes I thought it was a good finish. Congrats to all who finished their first!

Sorry I didn’t make it in today…sounds like it was quite a workout. Mondays have become difficult to get in early! Will see the morning crew tomorrow for a fun-filled workout of cleans Congrats Kelly on your first muscle up! I wish I could have seen it!
