    Today’s a day where from start to finish you just want it to end….but as always, the great thing when it’s over is that — IT’S OVER and you just did 150 BURPEES!

    great push with the 6am class this morning, i think John K is leading the pack with 11 minutes and some change….

    Okay, I was coming in today, but I think I have some things to do……not sure what they are yet, but will definitely have a list by 3! :-) By the way, I just read Victor’s comments from yesterday. Victor, I will go for that WOD and go for time on the Girl Scout Cookies….I think I might could take you!!!! I LOVE THIN MINTS and Tag-a-longs. LOVE THEM!!!!!!! We won’t invite Paul though b/c he would just show us out…he is such the cookie monster!

  17. Karen says:

    Hmmmm…. STD’s , bodily functions and child abuse…..I gotta find some new friends to talk to. Where are all of the cookie people??

  19. Graham says:

  20. Spigner says:

    7: 07 is rediculous…. That is more than 21a minute….. Amazing. Nice job.

  21. dawn says:

    Forest – great job doing the WOD at home! Glad to hear folks are still keeping up on days where you don’t have to be at the gym — i hear Kirk did the WOD at a gym on Fort Jackson — great job guys….

    Graham — you could always make up the WOD — or there is still time, today is not over….move the coffee table outta da way and get on it girl!

    great job today guys – i never thought i’d hit 150 but it eventually came around — look forward to tomorrow — see y’all then!

  22. LeeAnn J. says:

    Oh wow do I hate burpees. So glad that it’s over though and I actually finished and had my first sweat angel!!! I really don’t ever want to do that again!!!!!

  23. Aaron D. says:

    finally a WOD that fits my body!

    Bobbi, I’m happy to be your hero for much of the day. Like I told you when you mentioned my time might stand, Jim, Jim, Jim.

    I believe to told Paul I expected Jimbo to go sub 8. I hate being right.
