New Homestead

Today was a rest day and my voice definitely needed it. Donna had a couple of clients to train. So the girls and I headed to Watertown to return the kettlebells we used yesterday.

Then it was time to look at houses for us to stay in after the house sells. Here is the pick of the bunch.

One other possibility would have had us living across the road from the owner of BizFit, could have provided hours of amusement for me, but was probably not a good option :-)

If you build it................

After some work and another trip to Home Depot the garage gym is taking shape.

Jason stopped by and hit the wod from a few days ago; 13-8-5-3 Calories on the rower and DB Thruster (42.5#) in 5:58, nice work J.

The Oly bar arrived from Again Faster today so now we await the bumpers on Monday.

Thanks to Greg at Catalyst Athletics for the Quick and Dirty Plate Rack idea. More pics tomorrow.

MaD feel the CrossFit love!

Donna and I both featured on the web on Thursday Feb 19th. Me on CrossFit Watertown and a picture taken by Donna on the CrossFit Affiliate Blog. Thanks to all for the recognition and nice comments.

We are now on our way to NZ so we will catch you all from there soon.

Cheers

Passion over $$$$

I am not driven by money. Don't get me wrong, I need money. Food, college, fuel, certifications etc. it is a necessary evil, but it is not what drives me. I am driven by success, yours and mine. Nothing is greater than a client getting a PR, or helping them accomplish their goals.

That said, I will miss the people I trained over the past year. It has been a great experience. Keep training hard and educate yourself. Get your Level 1, go to a specialty certification, read a paleo book, check out crossfit.com each day…..EDUCATE YOURSELF.

I look forward to opening a box when we return from New Zealand. I will be a licensed massage therapist in May as well. I am excited and looking forward to our future as MaD CrossFit. It is going to be a great year! 3, 2, 1….GO!

Told you there was a silver lining!

After being told my services were not required in Great Barrington I was planning a quiet night of stewing at home.

But as it happened Lis from CrossFit Watertown in CT needed someone to cover her evening classes tonight. So I headed south and coached two sessions of Fight Gone Bad.

Rich and Chris go hard at Fight Gone Bad while Mary keeps score.

The crew at Watertown are great and gave me that warm fuzzy CrossFit feeling. Thanks guys! I am happy to make the drive down there anytime.

After the last person left the gym I hit a nasty lunge and burpee workout. Five rounds for time of:
45 pound barbell Overhead walking lunges, 50 feet
21 Burpees
Let trailing knee gently kiss the ground on each lunge.
Time: 12:23
