Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
It's Time to Choose My Valentine
And I Pick You!

Jim Turnbo, Will you be my Valentine?

WOD

As a team you must complete 100 rounds of:

* 1 Deadlift
* 1 Hang Power Clean
* 1 Front Squat
* 1 Push Press

(That whole combination of 4 movements is 1 round)

Only one person can be lifting at a time. While one person is lifting,
their partner is rowing 500 meters. The bar can NEVER touch the
ground; it can only be passed off after your partner completes a 500
meter row. If the bar touches the ground, both partners suffer a
burpee penalty.

Good luck to Tara as she travels to Atlanta for her CrossFit Endurance Certification this weekend. I hope she brings back a wealth of knowledge to share with all of the trainers so that we may better our program for our athletes. What did she tell me before she left "get ready to run, and like it!" So for all of you marathoners out there, have your questions ready!

Post time to comments.

Today marks the birthday of the greatest inventor in all of history. Thomas Edison lived the statement that if you want to succeed, then increase your rate of failure. That is a profound statement from a man who had more than 10,000 failures and over a thousand patents. Below are a few quotes from Edison.

"The three things that are most essential to achievement are common sense, hard work and stick-to-it-iv-ness....."

"Unfortunately, there seems to be far more opportunity out there than ability.... We should remember that good fortune often happens when opportunity meets with preparation."

"From his neck down a man is worth a couple of dollars a day, from his neck up he is worth anything that his brain can produce."

"The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest her or his patients in the care of the human frame, in a proper diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease."

There is a flier on the bulletin board in the gym with a few of the tests as well as prices. For those of you who are participating in the I AM CrossFit Challenge then this would be a great time to see what is going on inside of the body. And to see what types of changes that are taking place as you progress in your health.
