CFI coaches are the BEST for knowing when to push you on and when to rein you in. Nick was the perfect cheerleader today to get me to keep moving.

Conversely, that day we did the 10 SDHP/150 m. sprint every 2 minutes WOD, CJ had me cut my SDHP to 5 reps after the first 6 rounds. He saw that my form was getting worse and worse, and that I was barely getting my work done by the 2 minute mark. His solution was perfect. I still got to play with the other kids, and I didn’t throw out my back. I appreciated that he scaled the workout for me, because I was too busy not dying to think of doing it on my own.

Thanks to all of you coaches for keeping an eye on us!!

p.s. DON’T FORGET TO ORDER YOUR CUPCAKES FROM CORYNA TODAY! JOIN ME IN ORDERING SOME YUMMY DELICIOUS FROSTING COVERED BITS OF HEAVEN. Yes, I’m excited about the cupcakes.

Reason #478 to love eating Paleo:

Passover becomes just like every other time of the year. There is no need to get rid of the grains in the house – there are none to begin with!

Also, no need to sub Matzo in place of leavened breads in typical foods – think Matzo Pizza or Matzo Brei (French Toast w/Matzo) – Paleo folk don’t eat that nonsense.

Hurray for Paleo, and Happy Passover to all my Hebrews!

AUSH!!!!!!! I have to do some sharing about my recent victory. In the spirit of my quest to keep things “Constantly Varied” I hit up CF NYC last Friday despite a 6:30 am flight, having slept only 7 hours in the previous 48, with the smell of Patron still on my breath from the night before. I pounded a bottle of water and ate a Think Thin bar on the subway on the way to class. The WOD of the day -Nancy. I thought “why not”. CF NYC is on the 3rd floor of a building and for running WOD’s various substitues are used: double- unders, wall ball, jumping lunges, kettle bell swings, rowing, etc. or running down three flights of stairs, out of the building, down the street into an alley and back. Upon returning to the building you hit the buzzer and the trainer buzzes you in- back up the stairs, and repeat. It was pouring rain and while resident CF NYC members opted for the subs, a NYC student and I decided to keep Nancy legit and run. Subs are harder anyway, duh, and if I needed to puke I thought it better to do outside. Despite all of the above mentioned variables, I added 10 seconds to my time. What is the point of my story? You will never have any idea what you are made of unless you allow yourself the room to mix it up and keep it “Constantly Varied”. Does that mean drink four Patrons on the rocks and a Chicken Burger? Maybe not, but you won’t know until to try. Hollah.
