SARAH GETS STRONG: A CROSSFIT/PALEO LOVE AFFAIR *

My name is Sarah and I'm a once-skinny-kid macaroni-eating-swimmer now dangerously turned on to CrossFit, Paleo nutrition and overall badass-ness.

I am training as a first time participant for CrossFit's 2011 Sectional Qualifier and, through this, hope to increase my physical strength and (otherwise absent) mental fortitude. No more frustration during WODs. No more "I can't". I will stop being good at one thing, and become great at everything.

Join me on my journey to greatness!

New name, Same game

First off, I truly, TRULY, apologize for my lack of posts as of late! Albany CrossFit has been rebuilt, my first Epidemiology midterm blew my mind, and.. and, I’m making excuses. Ignore that.

As you see, I’ve changed the name of the blog. Content will stay the same; in fact, I’ve skewed so far from my original intention of the blog, that I’ve changed the name and description exclusively to relate more to what I write about now. Yes, I am definitely still training for the 2011 CrossFit Sectional Qualifier, and I still have many walls to tumble— and, all will still be recorded here. I will try to illustrate that more often.

In other news, Albany CrossFit, an entity encompassing my dearest friends and gym, has created a new space. It really is beautiful and empowering..

My lovely boyfriend, Caleb, gives a tour of the new and improved ACF while I creep on the couch (video courtesy of AlbanyCrossFit.com).

Below is a write-up I put together for today’s blog at Albany CrossFit.com. Before I continue with nutrition articles, recipes, WOD-logs, etc, I need to get this out of my system: 

I have always discussed CrossFit outside of ACF (duh, I live with Caleb) and I have introduced it to people in my classes, professors, etc. I talk about how I want to compete, and how I am obsessed with Paleolithic nutrition, and how all of this can change your life. I have been proud to say that I am a member of Albany CrossFit, because I love the people and the WODs and the torturous thrusters.

It’s true—once, when overzealously discussing CrossFit with a professor, I was told that my eyes and face were glowing. I know I’m not a whimsical creature or that I have superhero vision (hello, glasses). So… what’s left? 

A crazy, crazy love for Albany CrossFit (no cornball jokes, please).

OK, where am I going with this? Right: so, today was the first WOD executed in the new room. Yes, I understand it is just a room. But doesn’t this awesomeness and definite product of hard work deserve more of an extensive definition? You know that maybe, visually, it embodies everything we think and believe about Albany CrossFit as a community and gym?

I think so. 

Now, when I look at the new room, I really couldn’t be more proud.

It is a perfect representation of everything we are and have become.
