Clarification: CrossFit Watertown has ended, but there is still a thriving CrossFit affiliate in the same location in the Old Pin Shop! (Sorry for any confusion.) You can reach CrossFit Reload at 860-274-4441. Look for a new CrossFit Reload website in the future!

Once a Week Is Not Enough

Jill, with so much love for CrossFit in her heart . . .

Here we are again. Just you and me and Jill. Like the good old days. Well, in my imagination. Or perhaps a child’s short tale.

Okay, so you’re reading this blog which means you want some INFO on CrossFit or CrossFit Watertown. Or both. Or none and you just got distracted on the Internet and you were really searching for a nice pair of leather pumps in a man’s size.

Anyhow, what’s on tap this week?

Free trial class at 9am on Sat!

Continuation of our 30-Day Paleo Challenge into a 60 Day Challenge! (With some checkpoints at 30 days to see how we’re doing.) Why? Because it feels good, because we feel better, because we want to make sure we get a firm hold on this new way of eating and living. If you’re only reading this blog (and not our private Facebook group) you’re only getting a glimpse into what’s really happening. But if you join us, that world will open up to you — and it’s pretty cool, I have to say.

In other news, the CrossFit Games Northeast Regionals are this weekend at Reebok World HQ in Canton, MA, so some of us will be traveling up there to cheer on the athletes and be inspired by some folks who are seriously fit! We’ll definitely be rooting for Melissa Reed from CrossFit 203, as well as a host of other fine athletes!

So, enjoy your week, enjoy your life, and enjoy the people in your life! It all goes by too fast, so grab on tight, and go chase something. Life is meant to be lived, not endured. Make it so.

Monday Quickie

Yes, there will be a noon class today.

Blog to be posted in a bit. Thx.

Snow Update!

Lisbeth — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 04:19:35 +0000

You may want to see this at 6am BUT . . . you’re going to see the snow sign ’cause the 6am is CANX due to the snow storm! Noon and 5/6/7 should go on as scheduled. Sorry for the inconvenience. Stay warm and stay tuned! Burpees by the fireplace everyone!

Update

Lisbeth — Tue, 18 Jan 2011 19:31:12 +0000

UPDATE: Watertown is covered in a sheet of ice. Your best best is to probably stay home. The 6pm and 7pm CFW classes are CANX. I’m going to make an attempt to get into CFW and will be there from 4pm-6pm. If you can make it there SAFELY, feel free to come in at ANY point, get your workout done and then leave to get home. We’re going to make it a rolling schedule for today. Come in, WOD, and get out.

Lu-Ann and Jordan and their one-armed kettlebell swings.

Friday, Friday, Friday. Okay, I got nothing else.

Oh! Except a Free 9am Class on Saturday! It’s Bring Your Cousin Day! (Or maybe I just made that up.)

Anyhow, Words of the Day: “Warped” over on CrossFit Lisbeth.

Workout of the Day

Cleans 4-3-2-1

Update: Snow Day

Lisbeth — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 20:16:31 +0000

What you looking at?

SCHEDULE ALERT: The 5pm and 6pm classes are CANCELED TONIGHT due to the snowstorm. Stay off the roads and have fun in the snow!

Ready to Learn?

Big D, gettin’ it done during Saturday’s “Little Eva Rows” workout.

We’re 12 days away from EC’s Snatchapalooza (aka the Olympic Lifting Clinic being taught by EC Synkowski, one of CFHQ’s top trainers and a trainer at CrossFit Boston) on Nov 21st, so if you’re interested in attending, give us a holler (e-mail jen@crossfitwatertown.com) — we can still squeeze you in.

And if you’re on the sign-up list but you haven’t paid yet, please do so by this Sat (Nov 14th) or you risk losing your slot. (Check in the Upcoming Events section in the right sidebar for a payment link.)

Just a reminder: You do not have to be a CrossFit Watertown member in order to attend this clinic. You just have to want to learn more about the clean and jerk and the snatch.

In other news, get ready for doing the CrossFit Total on Wednesday. Please be on-time (or, preferably, early!) that day so we can move everybody through the WOD in a timely fashion. Oh — and get enough sleep and make good eating choices! It all matters. You know it, so just do it.
