No Crying In CrossFit: Long loop

May 18, 2011

Long loop

Ran my long loop out along the beach for the first time since March, and it felt great! I'm so happy to be living on an island where I can see the ocean from my running route. :)

Distance: ~5.5 miles
Time: 52:54
Pace: 9:37

What you will find here

A log book of my CrossFit workouts, so I can track my times and loads and rounds, remind myself of the progress I've made, and identify the areas where I need to work harder.

Links to CrossFit, nutrition and general fitness articles that I find interesting and relevant.

General thoughts on CrossFit and why I am involved.

This blog works hard to earn it's R rating. Sorry, but I won't be holding back on the F bombs. (Did you know swearing relieves pain?)

I love eating like a caveman, so I'll probably write about that at times too.

Where did it all start? First post in this blog: No Crying.

More thoughts on my CrossFit journey -- interview @ Radical Hateloss.

My goals for 1st quarter 2010.

“You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.”

"Even though I have set these goals, they are not why I Crossfit. I Crossfit because I love my body. I Crossfit because it helps me to experience the present moment (my meditation). I have goals, but in every workout I am committed to loving and accepting my body's current abilities. I believe with every part of me, that the only way to truly attain "what we want" is by accepting and taking joy in what we already have."
- Stephanie
