If you were looking for the cool kids this weekend, you didn’t have to look much further than the Hardywood Twilight 4 Miler on Sunday night. This “no pressure” event starts off with a 4 mile run and ends with live music, beer and the ever important bling. One of the coolest race medals around that serves double duty as …
The holidays are over and it’s time for endurance athletes old and new to start looking at how they want to fill up their race calendar. This is probably the most stressful time of the year for us since any race you commit to means money spent upfront that weather, injuries or annoying life events can abruptly cancel with no …
Just a few quick things: First of all, I would like to thank everyone who donated food or cash at the gym for the FoodBank. Thanks to all of you we collected a whopping 241lbs of food to help feed the needy this holiday season! If you didn’t get a chance and would still like to donate you can go …
And so we’re coming to an end of another racing season and looking forward to fattening up for the holidays before more races come our way in Feb 2015. Everyone did really well on their individual races last weekend. Eileen got a PR of nearly 5 minutes on her 8K with 51:24 (write it on the board!!) and knows that …
If you’re smelling blue liquid all over the place, you’ve either passed out behind the porta johns at Coachella, or it’s race time in Richmond! The Richmond Marathon, Half Marathon and 8K are on Saturday the 15th. We already know it’s going to be tough to get around so why not get outside early and cheer some people on? We …
Last weekend myself and 11 of my craziest friends decided it would be a good idea to run 200 miles from Cumberland, MD to Old Town Alexandria. You know the joke, How do you know a crossfitter is at your party? Give them 3 minutes and they’ll tell you. The Crossfitter talking about Crossfit has become a trait so pervasive …

Our race starts at 6:30am Friday and ends sometime Saturday afternoon/early evening. Each runner tackles 3 legs of varying difficulty and distance. Total distance …
Photo by Kat: Milo after a 6 mile run. While it’s not uncommon to see similarities in our Endurance programming and the regular daily wod. We need to look more closely at the differences. I’ve said it before. Crossfit Endurance will only work in conjunction with regular strength and conditioning workouts. This is why Endurance is scheduled to take advantage …
A little late in coming, but I would like to once again thank everyone who made it out for a very successful 2nd Annual Tacky Lights run. I believe we had 21 runners, 3 dogs and a stroller travelling the course. There were lots of lights and other groups were taking pictures of us so we must have been doing …
