Huh, maybe we'll stop in there too. Granted, that's more than I paid for my Trek...

Any idea if they make the Iron Horse frames?

I thought so, but wanted to double check. You are the best actor in the show

Thank you very much! I have the most experience relative to the rest of the cast but, the growth of everyone is amazing in the short time we've been filming. Episodes 7 & 8 which come out tonight and tomorrow are the episodes I directed. I can't wait to see how they turned out!

I've been interested in crossfit lately. I decided I was bored so I signed up for the Pdx Triathlon in sept and have been training for that, but would like to work some CF into the training plan as well.

Training for the triathlon has been a LOT of fun - it's certainly a nice change to my usual gym time routine. The brick workouts are rough!

What are the benefits of the crossfit stuff (other than the obvious fitness)? I see people doing it and think OMG, theres no way.

It's been a long time since I visited, but I've done 2 half marathons, and 1 Iron Warrior Dash (15 miles) and am currently training for another half in Dec and my first full marathon in January at Disney. I can't say I love running, but I definitely like the results. I've trimmed down alot, my thighs no longer start fires and I just started about a month ago lifting weights and doing some strength training to avoid turning into one of those scary runner looking people. Not that I think that'll be a problem, since I eat way too much to lose that much weight.

I'm also on Day 3 of my Green Smoothie Detox, surprisingly haven't murdered anyone for bread or cookies, altho my hubby told me today he has been terrified to touch my fruit as he figured the 1 piece he ate would be the vital ingredient I would need and he'd end up dead...(I haven't even been crotchety!) I am not seeing the miraculous results other folks have reported, perhaps because I had already cleaned up my diet some or because my body was in such horrible shape. Who knows?

Looking at incorporating some Raw Diet into the household, and going all organic, no processed crap. Anyone else do this? Got any recommendations for cookbooks or books on the subject?
