Everyone is definitely entitled to their own opinions. Not saying that anyone on here is doing it because we'll all being civil, but I just hate it when people say all these horrible things about CrossFit whenever they get a chance to so they can make fun of people who do it. Most of the time...

Awesome! What age group/division did you sign up for?

I agree that it's all relative. I know people who don't like to run, but like lifting weights and vice versa. However, I also know people, myself included, who love running long distances and CrossFit/weight lifting.

I'm definitely competing in this! They may be taking advantage of the popularity of this sport, but at least they are working with actual CrossFit gyms instead of trying to steal people away from them. Personally, I think that CrossFit isn't going to fade away anytime in the near future. Yes...

That I did! I ran a couple miles and then walked for about 30 seconds. Then I kept repeating that until the finish.

I know I'm a little late posting this, but this semester is keeping me busy already. A couple of my friends and I took on the dopey challenge this year and enjoyed the experience that came along with it, except having to wake up at 3:15am every morning. Lol. The 5k and half marathon I was...

I ran 18 miles on the treadmill yesterday morning! Thankfully, it was my last really long run until the marathon in about 3 weeks. I also set 3 new PR's this past week at CrossFit! Deadlift: 315 lbs., Backsquat: 210 lbs., and Shoulder Press: 120 lbs. I'm looking forward to completing the Dopey...

Only 16 days until I leave for Disney to complete the Dopey Challenge!

I will definitely keep you guys updated on how things are going. Right now I'm still waiting to be paired with a buddy, which I figure will be in a few weeks. That's not too long of a wait considering there were about 1,450 people in front of me when I signed up.

I ran 15 miles this morning on the treadmill at a 9:00/mile pace, which is the furthest I've run since the wine and dine half. Even though I hate it, it looks like I'll be stuck running on the treadmill until it warms up and quits snowing in Ohio.

Hey everyone! I was one of the 12,000 runners who completed the Wine and Dine Half Marathon a couple weeks ago. During the race I came across a couple of runners who I decided to strike up a conversation with and help pace the rest of the race. Afterwards while hanging out with them at the after...

Yesterday morning I ran in the Cleveland Heroes Run 5 miler race. I was using it as part of a training run so I ran 2.5 miles before and a mile afterwards. I ended up winning my age group, 18-24, with a time of 34:00. Later in the evening I rode 10 miles on my bike. My next big race will be this...

Good luck in the 5k on Castaway Cay! I did it this past March when I was on the Caribbean cruise. Even though it might not seem like much beforehand, it's a pretty unique experience.

I got the Runners World "The Runner's Field Manual" that has a section of race etiquette and says that you should never where a race shirt until after you finish the race. It makes sense in that race shirts show others that you competed in that race. So why where it if you haven't done it yet.

Ran 10 miles at 7:00am this morning with my dad in the metroparks by my house. Then I rode 14 miles on my triathlon bike this afternoon. Less than 3 months until wine and dine!

Yesterday morning I ran an easy 6 miles at a 8:00/mile pace. I finally got my triathlon bike this past weekend so I went on my first ride yesterday afternoon and did 14 miles in an hour.

Sorry for the long absence from the forums, but I was offered a business opportunity that I have been working hard at. Today was a CrossFit day and the workout was 8 min amrap (as many rounds as possible) of: 5 Pullups 10 pushups 15 squats I was able to complete 7 full rounds and 10 pushups...

Spent 9 hours working on my aunt's roof, which will take the rest of the weekend to finish. When I got home I did 300 squats, 200 pushups, and 100 pullups!

I noticed that I had a harder time hearing announcements as well while waiting for the race to start. Usually I'm more towards corrals A & B and since I was by the 11:00/mile pace group, it made a huge difference. They should have speakers set up all along the starting line so all corrals can...

Another CrossFit WOD today! I achieved a new max PR for weighted pull-ups: 210 lbs! (Bodyweight + 60 lbs.) Cleveland Half Marathon is less than 2 weeks away!
