Although I proudly blog without obligation, even I must admit that this has been a disappointing dry spell. It is certainly time to re-enter the blog world, and I have absolutely no reason for the long absence.
No excuses, but I do have something new. I have entered the crazy world of Crossfit, and Crossfit and I have a very complicated love/hate relationship. Crossfit is a fitness program that has been pushing me to my physical limits, bringing sore muscles, nausea after a workout, and the feeling that I might not be able to even go one more step. It also brings strength, endurance, a sense of accomplishment, and the knowledge that I am taking giant steps toward better health and fitness.
You can go here to see a picture of me and some of my fellow CFers. I will warn you that a few minutes of browsing the CF West Santa Cruz site with the thought that I go there will probably bring your jaw to the floor. It is truly shocking, I know.
I will try to not become a tedious CF workout of the day poster here on my blog, but I just might pop out with something now and then. I have even discovered that Crossfit is the classical fitness program. Stay tuned for that fascinating connection!

It is one of those things, that , if people know you, would read the Crossfit link, and see what a great fit it is for you. It must be God. No one would view you as an athlete (sorry), but this post is you. I think you should really go for it and expand the Classical education field and start teaching Classical PE. How about a seminar?
I am SOOOO proud of you…you are inspiring! I know that I would have a very hard time doing crossfit! You are amazing! Perhaps you can start giving some lessons of what you are doing and learning there! Major props Leah!
Leah I just was waiting for you to inspire me, because lately I have been working out every day too! Not CrossFitting yet… but still.
Keep up the great work, and keep it up while you’re on vacation!! Have fun!
Mom, I just never pursued the right sport…I am a weight-lighting athlete. ha, ha, ha!!!
Nini, we’ll have to have beach CF someday. You will love, love, love burpees. Best thing ever. And Krista can join us!
Stay tuned for CF while on vacation. Anna has some INSANE work-outs selected from the travel plan…I might die in MT.
