Yes, it’s another Birthday - Rockin’ Robin is the lucky one today!
Wednesday, November 23, 2011
I believe in this picture that Robin was attempting to blow out her Birthday candles a couple of weeks early!! Just saying!
This is one to get stuck in your head -
Robin we are so happy that you are one of our athletes- you are moving along so well and we love to see your new accomplishments every day. You are the green juice girl.....keep up the great work. We believe that Robin is going to be our very first Iron Woman...... Hope all of your Birthday wishes come true (that's for you Brett - get moving!)

Tuesday, November 22, 2011
Even though Peggy isn't actually still with us in the flesh - we can still help her celebrate her Birthday. Make sure you take time today to wish Ms. Peggy R. a very happy birthday. We miss you and love you Pegs!!!
Tis the season.....like I said! CrossFit Michiana has adopted a Christmas Family and I need a little bit of help from each and every one of you!! I have placed cards at the gym with some small requests on each of them - take 1 take 5 whatever you would like but please take time this Christmas to help those that are less fortunate than each of us. At one time, I found myself on the other side of this - and I made a promise to myself and to my Brandon that if we ever got past this that I would do everything in my power to make those feel as special as we did on that day!!
The cards each contain a small item - not too expensive but you can pick and choose. There are 4 children that need clothes, coats, and boots and maybe a toy or 2. We also will be providing a cleaning care basket and a monetary gift certificate to Martin's for groceries. The items are due back with the card that you take by Saturday December 10th - I have to have them ready to be delivered to the Salvation Army on Wednesday December 14th. CrossFit Michiana - let's step up and take care of our community.

Wendler Off Week…..
Sunday, November 20, 2011
Ok, I'm not going to lie. I was all set to put up the awesome picture Jim took of Holly on Saturday where she was lying on the ground with arms spread and face down....and give all of you that decided not to join the CFM Games Fit For Life Challenge an idea of the hard work that all of these athletes have been putting into this challenge. Looking further into it I decided that a much better picture was the finale WOD for the advanced women's division, at the very end Holly snuck by and kicked some tire dragging butt to take first in the heat!!! Jim snapped the picture as Holly crossed the finish line at 2:56, Nikole at 2:59 and Angela at 3:02. Holly earned herself a new nickname after that WOD - you'll have to talk to her if you'd like to know what it is!
(If you'd really like to see the OTHER picture I was going to post make sure you visit Facebook - I have posted all of the pictures from Saturday's WOD)
There is NO Wendler this week. This week we will only be open on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday - Thursday's Turkey WOD is "extra full" and will begin promptly at 7:00 am. The gym will be closed for the remainder of Thursday, all of Friday, and Saturday and ready to resume regular hours on Monday November 28th. We hope you all enjoy your holiday weekend with your families as we plan to spend some extra time with ours.

What can we say about Angela? The look on her face in this picture shows the will and determination she brings with her to every workout. Her husband likes to call it Beast Mode....she is tiny but mighty!! We love having Angela's expertise and knowledge in the area of Paleo Nutrition....our gym wouldn't be the same without her!
T-shirt and sweatshirts will be here before you know it…...
