Hey Folks!

Awesome weekend – Sounds like there was some awesome lifting in the gym, and we were lucky enough to have Bud stop by!  Yesssssss – Sad I missed it.  I was hanging out getting needles stuck in my face, which was… interesting 🙂

The next month or two is going to feature a bit more strength work and shorter metcons.  We want to accumulate some strength and power with enough time before the “open” that we can apply it to some general CrossFit WODs too.  So if you were wondering why we were including an extra strength on some days, now you know!

We’re going to do a bit of a Christmas party this coming saturday (the 6th), We’re going to do “the 12 days of Xmas” WOD, and have some paleo snacks (bring some baked goodies to share!) and some warm beverages.  Then people are headed to the Gastropub in the evening to say au revoir to Sharon, as she’s headed back to Vancouver soon!  Some on out and let’s have some fun!  The WOD is really fun, not mean like the Painstorm WOD.
