That's kind of how the last few days have been. I've been slammed with family obligations so I haven't been able to get the type of workouts in that I would like. I feel bad for Kendra too because she actually has a race upcoming and her running sched has been spotty. It's only a 1/2 marathon and she has a very strong base already so she should be fine.
So yesterday I had 30 minutes to get a run in while the kids were at soccer practice. I made the most of it and did 3.4 miles of all hills. I covered it in just over 25 minutes and burned almost 500 calories. My pace was 7:44/mile. After that I ran some 50 meter sprints x6. I was FRIED when done.
Tonight I taught my sports conditioning class. My sister turned me on to CrossFit. It was the first time I have seen their site and low and behold I do a lot of similar moves in my speed training sessions and my sports conditioning class. I must have some fitness similarities with the folks that started CrossFit. Their site is awesome, www.crossfit.com, and I can't wait to dive deeper into it. My class killed it tonight. I took some things from my speed training and also some new moves I found on the net. The best compliment I got tonight was from a physical therapist who takes my class. She asked me if I was a PT because of the terminology I use and the way I approach the workout! I was flattered. She was surprised that I am an insurance broker.
In health.

You rock!!! Great hilly run, bro. Keep it up. I KNOW Ki will do awesome at the half. She's a tough cookie and in great shape.
I love CrossFit! I'm serious, I cannot tell you how much it has helped my running. I think part of the reason I was able to finish strong in Boston was because of my core strength. Amazing stuff. I always talk to Mike about opening a CF gym here in the valley, but that takes some bucks. For now it'll have to be a dream.
You should see about becoming an affiliate of theirs, and get your website linked to theirs and vice versa. You can even call your training business CrossFit if you affiliate.
A lot of military, cops and firefighters use their workouts. In fact, see Shari Keener's blog regarding their recent trip to train guys trying out for the Navy SEALS. www.sharikeener.blogspot.com
Nice compliment from the PT that you can use the terminology and teach with it.
Fun to see you two siblings so enthused.
Welcome aboard! :)
Thanks for the comments. My sister is great isn't she! She is such a great inspiration and an even more awesome supporter.
It is great to see how her friends, far and near, mirror that. I'm looking forward to this blogging world!!
