the more we get together, tooogether, tooogether, the more we get together the happier we’ll be… ’cause your friends are my friends and my friends are your friends… the more we get together, the happier we’ll be.
Often, great life lessons can be learned from those who have the least life experience!

Matt, Scott, VonRon and Janine…
very nice work getting Ro’s WOD done yesterday as quickly as you did. when programming it, I had those numbers in mind for a select few, and you guys didn’t let me down.
In addition, we have a ton of names in the rx’d column yesterday, which deserves a nice round of applause. Many of our women are moving up into the rx’d, and if they are not there yet, they are closing in quickly!!
Awesome job ShedHeads!

Yes Maria, i’ll due the airforce wod if i can get a pass on FGB, unless saturday is the day J9 decides to get it done.
Also, when watching the airforce wod from the qual, there was a girl who said she did a practice run of it a week or two before at 11 minutes and change. During competition she did it in 7 and change.
if you’re starting in the 9th minute, i think you should be ok with that for now…

Happy belated birthday, Ro! Congrats on all of your accomplishments at the Shed over the past year. I’m sorry I missed your WOD yesterday. We’ve all been sick. 🙁

Its not really a rest day when you have to shovel over a foot of snow. And it stopped being pretty about two storms ago.

Air Force WOD and the F50 will both be on the board next week. Plus VonRon’s birthday WOD. Shaping up to be a sweet week!

NorthEast Sectionals is about 1 month away. Just spent some time watching some videos from other competitions.
It is going to be interesting.
If you click on the games badge in the right side bar, you can navigate to the NorthEast Region. In case you want to be a volunteer or specator, you can register there.
I suspect that there will be some running in the one or more of the WODs. Looking forward to the experience (as a coach, not a competitor!).

Good luck to you Beard and Happy Birthday Alex.
I hope all Shedheads are having a great snow day 🙂

My guess was going to be eggplant!
That baby boy of yours is all over the place with his weekly food comparisons!
Did this snow day bring out anything new from the Garry’s test kitchen?
The Lep Leap 5K is super flat and super fast…DO IT! All of you!

Some advice for boot camp:
1) Don’t volunteer for anything
2) Keep your mouth shut
3) Always do your best
4) Don’t be a Sick Bay Commando
5) Just take it a day at a time…It’ll be over before you know it and you will make some great friends
6) Only drop deuce after lights out (Important)
7) Do NOT wear sweats under your utilities on cold days
8) Always, ALWAYS check your bore BEFORE firing
9)Cross-fit has you ready for the Quarterdeck
Thank you for volunteering to serve our country!
(Or is there a man with a shotgun who has a daughter of child-bearing age looking for you?)

the only thing new from the test kitchen is a blueberry no-oatmeal cookie. I substituted about 3/4 cup of blueberries for the apricots. They’re pretty good…and purple! Janice hasn’t had one yet. I’ll let you know what the verdict is.

And Janice is very upset that she missed working out with you yesterday. Hopefully we’ll be able to get to the shed tomorrow.
