This Week: How Fit Are You?
So, being fit is not just posting numbers on a white board or a website. It’s not just being really strong, or really fast. What is it? It’s being well rounded and pretty darn good at everything, not just perfect at one or the other.
Being fit is a lifestyle. It is not something you will achieve in an hour a day at the gym 4 days per week. It is something that will always be a work in progress. It does not just involve working out though, it also involves the “D” word…DIET.
If you are working hard in the gym everyday and then die of a heart attack because your arteries are clogged, what good is a fast run time or a heavy deadlift? I encourage all of you to look at your diets and evaluate what you are eating. I also encourage you to check some of the “internal” markers of fitness, like blood pressure, cholesterol levels, etc…
“They have no struggles, their bodies are healthy and strong. They are free from the burdens common to man; they are not plagued by human ills.” Psalm 73:4-5

jimmy did a great job this morning knocking this WOD out for the first time. he held a good pace and really pushed hard!
good job today, Todd! you should be proud of yourself because you also did a great job at pushing hard, especially on that last round!!!!!!!!!
Sanders, what have you been eating because you are just burning the place up! your performance has been absolutely remarkable as of late! you have been steadily improving in all aspects of your game!!!! it’s great to watch you set new PR’s all the time like the one you set today! you improved by almost an entire minute! way to go Sanders!!!!!!!
shotgun….great job as well by improvising due to your knee issues. you did a wonderful job getting out there to begin with and then switching to an alternate exercise without skipping a beat. you pushed through and displayed great determination.
i am proud of you all and have a great day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
helf, LV, and DR……you guys are nuts and y’all kicked some tail this morning!
later peeps!
Friday night 7pm at Capital City Stadium. If you are bored come out and support the USC alumni team bash the college kids of the columbia blowfish. Tickets are cheap. Beer is plentiful. And dominance is certain
And I am still sore from Angie
hey garris! sup dude? hope you took my joke as a joke the other day. that is all it was.
n e who……take it easy!
There’s nothing like running a 5k in the sweltering heat………..you gotta love this place. Everybody drink your water today!!!!!
Hey Garris, If I come to the game can I play after several beers?
Eric, what joke? I must have missed it. But I am sure that I was not offended. That is pretty hard to do. I can dish as well as take
Oh no, not Running!!!! The last time I attempted a 5k the results were…. no bueno! I think I am supposed to work late tonight, for something. Hmmmmm. :-/
gotcha brother. just wanted to be sure.
I predict, that I am going to beat my time from last time we did this one……..Rayna you better be there, I’ll tell your bf…..
Eric, Now you have me curious. What was the joke?
Fun Fun….running.
I’m glad I rolled my buns out of bed at a decent hour this morning.
The 6pm class has my sincerest condolances. :p
The first part of the post is a great point. How can people feel they are an “elite” athlete and competitor when they stay in their “safe” zone. This means that if you are going at pull ups, doing well in a pull up workout should not be a surprise to you. This being said you should always always being working on your weakiness. It is always good to see someone struggling with double unders one week and the next stringing together sets of 20s. They did not get that improvement by not doing double unders, they got that by struggling through their weakiness. I challenge everyone to spend one week and put a weakiness of yours in your warm up, and see how much you can improve in that area, then move on to the next
Good luck on Friday Garris – wish I could be there to watch!
Congrats to Joyce, THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING WOMAN!!!!!
Everyone, don’t forget to make plans to come and donate blood one day next week!!!! I’ve told my co-workers that my friends are WAYYYY hotter than theirs.
Karen – I went to donate at 2:45 and they were closed – how to we tell them to give you credit?
Thanks Sanders!!!!! Oh I will let them know!!!!
The donor room closes early on Thursday – Saturday because a lot of people like to rock out a cheap drunk on those nights after giving blood!!! Funny, but very dangerous!
The hours are:
Mon – Wed 11:00 – 7:00
Th – Sat 7:00 – 2:00
This Tuesday the 7th the donor room will be open 7am – 7 pm
thanks, Karen – I will be there next week- tell them some of your friends rom CCF are old and not hot, but they still have blood – have a happy 4th – unless I see you at 6 am tomorrow – hope the WOD tomorrow is something patriotic like “flag waving” or “parade marching”
AWESOME!!!!! We will tie a rope to the ceiling and you can show everyone how to climb it!! Now, that’s hot!
If we have a parade marching WOD, they would probably make us carry a kettlebell and lunge it all the way down Blanding street……..
I think tomorrow’s WOD should be “drinking beer and watch Garris dominate the less fortunate, Columbia Blowfish” How about it Bobbi?
If we have a parade marching WOD, they would probably make us carry a kettlebell and lunge it all the way down Blanding street…….. shhhh….you’ll give them ideas.
Are there folks planning to go to the stadium as a group, or is it sort of an ‘every man for himself’ kind of thing?
I would love to go and watch those college kids mop the floor with the old guys…….oops
We could all meet at the gym and go as a team!!! who’s up for it?
I’m game…
…oops.
anyone still awake?
