It’s getting interesting, too. I should get #1 and #2′s goals based on what I’m doing now, but I’m still doubting that muscle-up in #3, and my handstand pushups are going WAY slower than they should be. And, I really need to put the components of #5 together for a few dry runs. Only a month left!

Initial scores. . .ugh – I think I might be happy with living through the tests. . .

Perfect! This is exactly what I need because since I passed 40 ( a few years ago) I’ve been feeling like I need to get a handle on my health better and not let myself go from sitting at my computer all, writing fabu stories while eating cookies.

So any initial score ideas? Remember, some of CF’s biggest stars are women.

I think I’m on target. This is going to be awesome.

@Johnny – I’m in. I have a hard time saying no to a challenge. Add tequila and this is an issue. But crossfit challenge – no harm in that.

@Mike Stankavich – I just found out today how much what I can lift has decreased over the last 6 or so months myself. I used to be a badass. With bad form. Today, I went to squatting school. It was humbling. My legs aren’t happy with me right now.

Mike and Rachel, that’s so badass. Why not toss your hats into the ring now? You have some time to train, and remember… we’re all really just in competition with ourselves!

Tomorrow = Day #1 of my 2 week free trial to the local Crossfit gym.

Go for it JBT! You are so right – crossfit is some hardcore shiz. Give me a few months to catch up and I’ll play too.

I just restarted heavy lifting after six months off because I didn’t get off my lazy ass to set up my home gym after I moved. One key learning from last week – don’t restart a 5×5 squats program just before going on a road trip. I thought I was pussing out by restarting at only 95 pounds (down from 230 6 months ago), but my legs were still a solid mass of pain for the entire trip. My wife was totally laughing at me.

Or you could just do the HFAY challenge. Weight-based goals are soooooo October.

Weird that you would comment… I was just thinking of you the other day. Not sure why. Perhaps it involved crazy stuff my son was doing; that feels likely.
