Aug 22 – Rest Day – Patience
I was thinking of a rest day post. I wanted it to speak to the new members of MaD. We’ve had quite a few newbies join us over the past few weeks and they have lots of questions. Then I read this post from CrossFit Watertown and it was something we all need to be [...]

Rest Day 1 Aug – Goodie Bag!
Donna returned from the US on Friday, full of new information from the certifications she attended and the great coaches she worked with while she was there.
She also brought a goodie bag of equipment, lifting shoes for those who ordered them, new jump ropes and lacrosse balls amongst other items.
My personal favourite is the set [...]

Rest Day Jul 18 CrossFit Games
The CrossFit Games are this weekend. You know that already. There’s a pit in your stomach and you’re not even competing in them. How the hell can that be? How can you be so wrapped up in an event that your stomach is churning for something you will watch starting on Friday? What is this [...]
Rest Day – 11 July – Training for a Life Time

I think it’s great when members sign up and say, “I’m going to give it 3 months [...]
Happy 4th of July – Rest Day

Rest Day Jun 27 – iTrain
iTrain
I was very much like most endurance athletes. I rode my mountain bike as often as possible for as long as possible. I ran and taught spin class and I did very little weightlifting. I was tight and sore most of the time. I ate oatmeal for energy before long rides and I drank beer [...]
