Someone has really cool socks. And a new PR for a 5×5 deadlift!
Here’s an article that might be helpful if you want to lose weight.
Here’s an article with no helpfulness at all; it just creates an amusing visual image.
Here’s the update for classes: Friday/6pm will be coached by Pamela (of Power Barn fame), and there will be NO Saturday class. (I’ll be in VA for the CrossFit Kettlebell Cert this weekend.) Kirk will coach the Sun morning class. (If you’re planning on making the Fri/6pm, sound off in Comments so Pamela will know to expect you.)
Oh — and in BIG news, Darlene got 2 kipping pull-ups last night! Congrats to Darlene! (And we have no photos because we were too busy offering “verbal encouragement” . . .)

I would love to be coached by Pam – but unfortunately I have already made drinking and gambling plans that start immediately after school and will continue (hopefully) late into the evening
Sorry Pam! I will catch you next time!

So, I had to drive Sam to school this morning (the bus came early) and the entire drop-off line was held up by one pick-up truck, where the dad had to get out and open the doors for the royal children before they sauntered into school. Heck, I was surprised there wasn’t a red carpet laid down for them so their shoes didn’t get dirty.
Oh, and why am I telling this story?
They were Jackie’s kids.

GAH! Why is deadlift ALWAYS on Wednesdays?!?
November 12th, 2008 at 11:06 am
is that david with the ill puma socks, 335lb deadlift and a pronated grip? im jealous, my grip starts breaking around 225 and i need to switch to mixed – need to work on that, and my socks definately aren’t that cool
congrats to darlene – i just got my first kipping pullups a week or so ago, and my hands are almost healed
and barry with the handstand?!? wow…i really have no excuses
is tonights 7:00 still on?
November 12th, 2008 at 11:39 am
Ah, CrossFit Watertownians, this photo was taken last night . . . and that’s not David . .
And yes, there is a 7pm tonight, and the handstand practice continues.

I’m Gonna say it’s Mrs. Becky!
November 12th, 2008 at 12:33 pm
See you tonight at 7!
November 12th, 2008 at 12:35 pm
Oh yeah….that has to be the amazing Nate-dog!!!!!! Right??? He’s becoming an amazingly powerful lifter. Silent. Lethal. Strong. (ok…maybe he’s training to be a secret agent???)

Hey… Do I detect some animosity…you’re lucky it wasn’t me dropping them off..I would have kissed Cristina first than Matt…I hug Cristina than Matt…I kissed Cristina again than Matt…………………………………………………………………….

the sweaty forearms could definately be nate…and of couse he would need puma socks to go with his yellow sneakers – i should of known better
November 12th, 2008 at 12:45 pm
It it Nates legs?
November 12th, 2008 at 12:46 pm
Is
November 12th, 2008 at 12:51 pm
no way.. I had to hold Nate’s dirty woman legs a few times… I think he has more hair on his legs than that lol
November 12th, 2008 at 12:59 pm
No class for me tonite – have to go recruiting…
I miss CFW & dodgeball
November 12th, 2008 at 2:50 pm
So, are we deadlifting tonight or what?
November 12th, 2008 at 2:56 pm
Jackie! Your royal offspring looked quite happy as they were carried into school by the servants.
Jill — recruit and then show up at some point this week or weekend! We miss you!
Those are Nate’s legs and supercool socks.
Hmmm. Should we DL tonight????
November 12th, 2008 at 3:59 pm
If someone finds a belt in the bathroom, can you please set it aside for me? I must’ve left it there when I was changing yesterday.
November 12th, 2008 at 4:20 pm
Why yes, my socks rock
Sue… thank you (even though you left out dashing, nice smelling, smart, courteous, kind, brave, clean and super), I always liked you best. Apparently my deadlift is decent now-a-days (read: last night), even managed to pull 285. Made me feel happy seeing deadlifts have been my kryptonite.
Speaking of which, nice work Darlene!!! Though I am with Dan, my poor hands, they never quite get a chance to mend.
Ah well, see y’all tomorrow night. Most likely in for Friday at 6 as well. Wish I could be there for handstand practice tonight though
November 12th, 2008 at 5:45 pm
Chris, you left your belt — and Darlene left her rings! If I didn’t know it was CrossFit, it would sound like you two were having an affair!
And, Nate, you forgot “a friend to animals and old ladies” — please, go update your list.
November 12th, 2008 at 6:50 pm
I received word from my husband, King David. The royal crossguard forbid him from releasing the children until he signaled it was time. Exactly 8:40.

THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO Hmmm:
I also left my pants with Chris’ belt and Darlene’s ring…hmmm…i will get them Thursday (Sorry Lis I seriously don’t mean to treat CFW like a second closet)
I think Kathrine thought Nate’s legs were mine…Hmmm…
are my legs hairy because I don’t shave nearly enough or are Nate’s legs smooth as a baby’s bottom because he shaves everyday? Hmmm….
November 12th, 2008 at 8:52 pm
Darlene-Way to go on your kipping pull-ups. Keep up the good work!!
Becky-I know you get yours soon. You are sooooo close.
Nate-Congrats on your PR on the deadlift
I am also planning to be there on Fri nite.I hope we don’t have to do any of the silly handstands. They make me very scared.
November 12th, 2008 at 10:21 pm
Becky: Drinking and gambling? Really? You know, the first step is admitting you have a problem . . . or two. Luckily there’s a great support group in your area. It’s located at The Old Pin Shop and meets on Fridays at 6pm . . . .
Jill: The only thing you should be recruiting this Friday night is a kettlebell (or whatever it is that MOP has on the agenda for the night). Just sayin’. Seriously, come on in!
Nate and Mary: See you Friday! (*evil grin*)
November 12th, 2008 at 10:25 pm
Let me tell you all how great CFW is…I had the WORST day and it ended with me locking myself out of my house! I got to CFW at 7:30 pm…soooo late. I was greeted with great cheer by Lis, Kirk and Dan and all the drama of the day went away…don’t know what I’d do without my wonderful workout friends…you guys rock!
November 12th, 2008 at 11:00 pm
See? A happy ending! (Well, we didn’t mean like THAT. Gutter minds, all of you!)
Jackie–thou hast done well in reporting from the kingdom. Methinks thy story sounds . . . plausible.
Becky–drinking AND gambling????
What????
Why wasn’t I invited??
(K — we’ve got a problem here. Tag in.)
(Oh wait, I’ll be in VA this weekend.)
And, Sue, you were great tonight! So glad you joined us!
(See, folks, hit the Wed 7pm and get to work out with the big dogs . . .)
November 13th, 2008 at 12:14 am
WTF IS GOING ON IN HERE?!?!?!?!?!?! WHO IS GAMBLIN N DRINKIN AND NOT INVITING THE REST OF US?! JUST WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK THIS IS?!
November 13th, 2008 at 1:43 am
Hey, K — I forgot to mention — we’re famous in DC! Go check out our photo on the Potomac CF website.
And then call them pinheads or something in their comments. (Jeez, a girl can’t get a reputation for being nice, after all.)
Gambling AND drinking.
And I’m guessing partial nudity.
We’re missing all the good stuff, K.

in VA now, rainy and cold….noticed while driving in, the cows looked big and meaty. Had prime rib for dinner and it was great! In Mexico and other Latin America destinations, the cows look skinny…and the steak and such is awful! Just some eraser sharp observations from me
