"Main-Site" Class Name Change
I decided to change the "Main-Site" class name to the "Always Forward WOD".
Life is too short and too hard not to maintain a laser-like focus on what is important... To move forward requires one to ignore distractions and to practice arete. Excellence in our thoughts, actions, and voices. We should only be motivated out of Love... nothing else!
We get one chance to be our best. Let's move forward in all parts of our life for 2011!! Start today!

New Class Offering
I am now offering a "Main-site" class.
Most of you know that I train using CrossFit's Main-site WOD. I have seen incredible gains on the three days on, one day off system and I invite you to do the same. The "Main-site" class is just that; a warm-up and the WOD which will be led by me during my daily workout. I will follow the WOD as posted on the day prescribed, so I won't know what we are doing until 8pm the day before! This adds some excitement, and should pull all those interested deeper into the CrossFit community.
My plan is this:
I will post the times and schedule for the Main-site class every Sunday to the blog. If you are interested, just let me know ahead of time (even the day of is o.k.). Just show up, and I will give instruction/pointers/strategy for the WOD, we will warm-up, and then hit the WOD hard!
Just a note... some WODs will be led in places other than the Gym depending on the WOD. For example, the WOD "Run 5k" will most likely be at the Bioreserve. What I am saying is that there might be short-notice changes based on the WOD... I will post these to the blog as soon as I know!
The cost will be the same as a normal class; the main-site class is designed for experienced CrossFitters who WOD more than once-a-week. However, if you want to give it a shot, you are more than welcome to WOD with me! Seriously... it would be a good experience for everyone to give this a shot at some point, even it you usually come only once a week!
There will be more to come, but if you are interested, just let me know!
Forward, always forward, everywhere forward!
