Amy Jamieson's Exercise and Sports Studies class came by for a visit and a little taste of the Kool-Aide today. She was one of my teachers in college and helped me to realize that opening up CFG was what I wanted to do. ESS classes were always my favorites, but unfortunately due to budget restrictions the ESS program is going to be discontinued after this year (even though the Minors in the program are the most popular at UCSB). That didn't stop us from having a great time today though. If you see any of these faces shadowing our group classes make them feel welcome. Spending some time in a CrossFit Box is not a bad way to earn some units.
Way to give back to those who helped you get where you are, Nick!
I think I’m getting over a little hump and starting to improve again. I surprised myself Monday with rope climbs and again today using the 1.5 pood kettlebell. I probably could have done a few more rounds with a 1 pood kettlebell, but I am glad I pushed myself to go RX today – it’s the only way I’m going to get better.
I attribute the improvements partially to better eating habits. I haven’t been eating badly since the last paleo challenge, but I’ve been going pretty serious paleo again for the past few weeks and am feeling great. Just gotta get rid of sugar in my morning coffee!
Great job to everyone today!

then AMRAP 12 15 ghd situps/15 2 pood swings
6 rounds + 7 situps
the 2 pood was like rest. ghd situps however destroy me in volume. just another chink in the armor to be buffed out.
katie- you have been consistently crushing it and are becoming one of the strongest girls i know. i love to watch your progress.
Too many people live too much in the past. The past must be a springboard, not a sofa.
