It wasn't my intention to take a 'leave' from the blog over the holidays but it happened. Life always gets so hectic, even though it's fun. One of my goals for 2010 is to update this blog regularly. I can't promise I'll be perfect but I'll do my best to update it daily during the week.

We have had such a fantastic year with CrossFit Georgetown and already we've gained many new clients to start the year off right. In fact, 3 of our classes are now at capacity and we'll start a wait-list for anyone intestested in those time slots. (5:15 am, 5:30 pm and 6:30 pm) There are still openings in our 8:30 am class and my Tues/Wed/Thurs 9:30 am class.

The pictures below are from a very special group workout we did on Christmas Eve morning. We did the Lumberjack 20. This is a workout to honor the soldiers who were members of Lumberjack CrossFit in Ft. Hood and fell victim to the senseless shooting that occured there. It was a COLD and WINDY morning, sleeting by the end of the workout and I applaud everyone who came out and honored these soldiers with us. It put things in perspective just before Christmas when excess is always abundant and it was good to remember that not everyone is so blessed with joy.

20 deadlift (275 lbs)
400m
20 KB swing (2 pood)

20 Burpee

***I should note that we did this as a partner WOD, teams of 2. Each person did have to complete 20 reps of each exercise (wt. scaled appopriately) but they could share the running, each doing 200m or taking turns...whatever they worked out. It was hard work but a lot of fun.
I wish I could have been there for this one. I did it earlier in the month and while it was nasty it was good to push through it.

Congrats to William and Ginger for filling the gym! It is always fun to add members to our workout family and see how they progress. And a full box has great energy that everyone feeds off of.
