Your own blog can serve as a great food log in a digital format. Kyle has set one up and is striving to keep it (both the blog and his diet) as simple as possible.
Our old friend Dennis Marshall wrote in to point out that today’s crossfit.com workout was my 15th workout of the day back in October 2005. I plan to do the workout again today and compare my time. I’m shooting for less that 15 minutes. I will post my time to the comments but here is what I wrote back in ‘05:
Maybe the slowest time so far. 25:46 as prescribed albeit broken. Loved the shoveling.
15th day of Crossfit!

50 Things That Make Our Gym Better Than Yours
I am working on a list of things that make our gym better that the normal globo-gym. I’ll be posting all of them eventually. Got any suggestions? What do you think makes us better? Here is one I came up with:
We Celebrate!
“The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.”
-Oprah Winfrey
When was the last time you did something really hard, gave it your all, and received a standing ovation? If you are like me that does not happen very often. At my last job I cannot remember a time when I sent a particularly poignant email and received applause from my cube mates. How about at your old gym? Ever finish a set of leg extensions to cheers from everyone else in the gym? Did they loudly count your final reps?
High fives, fist bumps, slaps on the back, cheers, applause and even the occasional “my momma can lift more that that” trash talk. I think these are all things we can use more of in life. This sort of thing happens nearly every day and every class at EmerFit. I think it is one of the things that most shocks our new athletes. Being new they are often the last ones gutting through their first workout only to find 10 sweaty people cheering them on.
Celebrate your hard work with friends who appreciate what you just accomplished.

I did it 14:43 today 3 years later. I’m happy with that but I’m going to have to try it again in 6-weeks after strict Zoning.
