Thank you so much to my friend JR who posted this YouTube video on running from the folks at DontBeThatGuyVids on FB yesterday!
Now, before you watch… if “lead foot with a side of mouth breathing” was one of the options, that would have to be me. But given that I need to choose one of these five, I’d say I’m a “Dandy”. What kind of a runner are you?
So good.
Today is the first day of fall, huh? Time FLIES! With Autumn right around the corner, that only means one thing….
WINTER IS ALMOST HERE!!!
Now, I love summertime. So much. Soooo much. Being outside in the sun is one of my favorite past times, but when that time of the year comes when the snow starts to fall… I’m ready to shred!
My buddy Jack, who runs the Apres Powder Winter Sports Blog that I’ve featured here quite a bit, wanted to take a few minutes and ask me about how I prepare (and recommend other people prepare) for another epic season of crushin’ pow.
Check out the interview by CLICKING HERE! I think Jack did an AMAZINg job! Thoughts?
They’re trying to create an place of acceptance and tolerance. They hope to foster an atmosphere of not judging one another.
I’ll let you guys take this one. What do you think?
At least this news broadcast isn’t joking about their culture, either. Check out these three Planet Fitness commercials.
Did I laugh out loud at each of them? Yes.
Will I ever join a Planet Fitness? No.
Last night the 2011 Reebok CrossFit Games were featured during Prime time on ESPN2 (a Major Cable network!). For MANY of you, it may have been the first exposure you ever had to our sport of CrossFit. To avid CrossFitters, it was certainly the most “mainstream” exposure we’ve ever seen given to our sport.
Regardless of your stance and experience with it, what are your thoughts? Did you like learning about CrossFit and the CrossFit Games? If you knew about them already, do you think the shows last night did them justice?
I’m curious to how you all feel about it. All I know is that I was like a kid in a candy store watching some of my friends and other CrossFit starts tear it up! I’m a very active CrossFitter and a trainer at CrossFit Lakewood here in Denver, Colorado, so seeing my hobby and passion being presented to such a large audience actually filled me with a HUGE sense of pride!
If you missed the shows last night, fear not, there are two more weeks of coverage on Wednesday nights! Check the trailer for the show below, and the TV schedule below that.
So…. what’d you guys think?!
Here's the full schedule of events for ESPN2
Enough said. 🙂
