Six weeks ago I started taking classes at Crossfit Bloomield and I am hooked!  I was looking for a new wokout regimine after completing the half marathon so I could switch things up a bit for the Winter.  An acquaintance from high school opened this branch of Crossfit and I had heard a lot about it before I signed up but I really had no idea what I was in for!  It is bootcamp/athletic training at its best and I can’t believe how much stronger I feel after just 6 weeks.  I was never an athlete growing up so this has been a real physical and emotional challenge for me but I feel on top of the world every time I complete the WOD (workout of the day).  Right now I go twice a week while Lilly is at school and Aunt Martha and Aunt Terry help to watch Robin.  I’m hoping to bring Bill along on weekends.  A great place to check out!

Here is a video that explains a bit about the class:

Meanwhile Bill is in ‘pre-training’ for the Lake Stevens Half Ironman on July 15, 2012 – 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike, 13.1 mile run. He swims in the early mornings in Salt Lake City during the week (still travelling there for work) and bikes and runs (we usually run together) on the weekends. He has the biking and running down pretty well and is taking private swim lessons at TWEAK in Birmingham on occasional weekends. 70.3!
