Short & Sweet

What a slacker I have been with keeping up on the blog.. Life's busy and that's just the way it roles sometimes.. As I contemplated the excuse I was going to use as to why I had not updated in a bit, I thought of a conversation I had a few months back with a good buddy about his CrossFitting.

This guy has been crossfitting a little longer than me and has always been in pretty good shape (unlike me when I started a year ago). He's a dang successful guy in his career, has a few kids, and lives in a bustling suburb of Chicago. Anyway, he was talking about how little time he has to actually get in a WOD..I can totally relate. In fact, it wasn't a month before this conversation I had been trying to figure out how to get in my WODs and yet not take forever to do..

I had started a little collection of quick and/or no equipment wods that on days I could bust out and move on down the road. When he told me about his dilemma I shared with him some of the short workouts I was doing and how it was working out great.

A few weeks role by and I talk to him again and he mentions that our talk about what I was doing with short WODs was working for him great and he was back to CFing like always.. That was pretty cool.

So, in that same spirit I thought I'd post up some of them bad boys so the excuses can end!! :) JOKE.. Excuses are good.. I use them all the time.. "Honey, the longer the grass gets the more healthily it becomes as it is able to take in more sunlight..I'll mow it in another few days." GOOD STUFF! Oh ya, and "Yes, I took care of that!" (doesn't matter what the questions is) That's a good one too!
