Hello World!

Okay, so I've been trying to stick to Crossfit for a little while now, starting at the beginning of 2008. The decision came after I ran a marathon and realized I wasn't really strong, fast or flexible. I found the Crossfit website and did the workouts on and off. When I did them, I showed noticable improvement. I slowly started substituting the main Crossfit Workout Of the Day (WOD) for my normal running, swimming and biking routines.

I'm just starting back after being off for nearly 3 WEEKS! Let's just say that illnesses that mess with your sleep patterns make you vulnerable to other ailments. Currently, I'm in the middle of Week 3 of what I'm calling my "Return to Fitness" plan.

All I can say is, if you want to stay fit, try not to get sick.

So, some days I will follow the main site WOD, while some days I will mix up the exercises. Currently, I'm using workouts from Brass Ring Fitness. They have a great starter/basic program that is good to build up some general fitness. I'll probably use this for a few more weeks, then transition over to the main site. Why? Because I don't think Brass Ring's Basic program includes enough strength work.
