Yaaaaa!!!!It's November. No more burpees!!! Congratulations to all our burpee doers who will get a shirt compliments of The Box for doing 3,100 burpees in 31 days...they are Jessica, Jeremy, Ray, Chuck and Tony! Great job Militants! This also means we have a couple of new challenges for the month of November. Our first is that we want you to do 100 sit ups and work yourself up to doing a 3 minute hallow rock. If this means you can only start doing one for 30 seconds, that's fine, try to add 10 seconds a day from there until you get up to 3 minutes a day. This is going to really strenghthen your core. Our other challenge is that you try not to eat processed sugar for one whole month. To get the details of what those kinds of sugars entail please ask me and we'll go over them. I promise you will feel fantastic and you will watch your body change and fat melt away. O.K. See you tomorrow Militants! WOD UP!

WOD 102910

Run 3 miles
Alright Militants, running is good for you so get your butts to the Box and time your run. It's good for you even if you don't want to do it just like everything else you do in the gym. You are well rounded athletes and I train you like well rounded athletes, that includes running long distances every once in a while so get your butts here tomorrow and see how you do in a 3 mile run. Bring your ear muffs and ipods, cotton gloves and sweatshirts.
Also, please park on our driveway up close to our house. We are having the gravel done tomorrow and don't know exactly when they are going to be there. If you drive all the way up to our house and turn around and park facing down the driveway you won't have to worry about not being able to get out.
One last thing...ITS ALMOST OUR HALLOWEEN WOD!!!PLAN ON COMING AND HAVING A TON OF FUN. BRING SOMETHING FOR YOURSELF TO DRINK AND A SIDE DISH...AND WEAR A COSTUME. It's a 20$ buy in and all money goes toward our new heater. There will be some good prizes in a drawing. Please bring someone new and introduce them to our gym. It's a fun way to introduce the Box and show them how weird we are. See you all tomorrow for the awesome WOD!

Hey everyone...don't forget to actually physically sign up for the Halloween Workout. I need a good idea on how many people to account for. I can't wait, it should be a blast!

We can't have them in the gym while people are working out, they might get hurt. Thank you everyone for your cooperation.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property, and all those who are enjoying them with us, thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."...Thomas Jefferson 1810
