A 5k run was a welcomed sight for some and salt in the wounds for others. Welcome to CrossFit. I've decided that running is like cilantro. You either love it, or hate it. Not much in between. Some of us learn to appreciate running for it's cardiorespiratory value, but still hate doing it.

Great runs everyone. For the run phobs, SUPER GOOD JOB showing up on a running day. You could have chosen the easy way but you did not. HOOYAH! Super fast runs Richard, Matt, and Juan. Next time we're going to tether some of the slower runners to you guys.

We added the 400 at the end (great idea Kathryn) to bring the circuit run up to distance, but we are still a couple of tenths or so shy. But it's a better course than running 13 legs up and back that damn alley, turning around 23 times.

There were several comments from some of our new people who had very little running experience. They were surprised that they were able to run the 5k straight. Remember, because we are CrossFit we are competent 5k runners without ever training to run. Pretty cool, huh?

Thursday is a rest day. Use your extra time wisely and do something that feels good and helps you recover. This is also the beginning of  Week 7 of the Paleo Challenge. How's it going? Still staying strong? Three more weeks to go.

Thanks for another great day at CFSF. You guys are all great.

Rest later.
