I want to try crossfit too. I watch them while I run at the gym and how awesome and ripped their bodies are and it makes me want to join. Are you hooked or just trying it out?

Angie, I am trying something new because running seriously takes so much time and I have to get up super early to do it. I am going to try a light running schedule combined with some sort of Crossfit/Group Training. Allison works out at a boot camp/crossfit gym so I tried it today. I have a ton of respect for those athletes. I was kind of pathetic but I liked it and it was very challenging. I am going to try a few different classes and see what I like.

That really is the dilemma I've been facing too w time and lack of sleep w getting the miles in. I' think crossfit looks fun for a change. Tell Allison I said hi. Are you guys going to make it to coach Blaisdells retirement party?
