Light up the Darkness

So, it has now officially been 30 days of the Zone challenge!  I am very proud of everyone that attempted the Zone and especially of those that have stuck it out for the entire 30 days.  It is not an easy diet and certainly isn't for everyone.  However, we did realize it becomes a lot easier if you give it a couple of weeks.  You start to feel better, look great, and the weighing and measuring becomes easier as you get to know the foods you tend to eat more often.  Niki and I are definitely sticking with it and I hope some of you do as well.  How does everyone else feel about the zone?  I saw huge improvements in performance in a lot of you, and tremendous changes in physiques!

Today's WOD: Filthy 50s

Stephen and Dave were back at it today, and it truly amazes how fast the body adapts to high intensity workouts.  Yesterday, Dave barely survived the warm-up and a 1-mile run, today he completed the Filthy 50s, great job Dave!

Everyone else did great as well on the Filthy 50s, quite a few PRs were set tonight.  Make sure to send them to me for the leader board.  I saw some great accomplishments during the WOD including Viv hitting 17 consecutive Double Unders, Erin using the 45lb. bar for push presses, Niki doing 30 consecutive KB swings, and lots of amazing Burpees!

Our new pullup bars came in today.  Thanks so much to Chad and Angie for helping with the mounting.  We appreciate it!  When they are all up the room is going to look so great, I can't wait!

There is a new addition to the Albany CrossFit family.  Her name is Marley.  Niki and I met her at an adoption clinic last Saturday and immediately fell in love.  She is a very special dog and we are excited for everyone to get to know her.

Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you riding through the ruts, don't complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don't bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality. Wake Up and Live!
