Life is short, let's get started

So you joined Crossfit.

Welcome to the club.

There's a million of us out there you know, running and lifting, sweating and swearing. We roll around on the ground out of breath and we like it. We feel bad if we haven't felt some sort of physical suffering today. Whoever we were is not who we are right now, in the gym, as we try to get stronger and faster.

We are Crossfit, and we are legion.

This blog is an attempt to gather some of our stories, because let's face it, we've all got them. Plus I've been digging around and found that there are some really funny people out there, who have some great tales to tell the rest of us. This is the place I'm hoping everyone will come to in order to read those stories.

Let's put it this way. Log on to http://www.crossfit.com/ if you want to learn how to do a workout the right way. But click on this website if you want to know how real people like yourself did the same thing today.

Me? I workout at Raw Fitness Maui. A hole in the wall gym with everything I never knew I needed. Pullup bars and lots of weights, a big timer on the wall and a ghetto blaster to play everything from AC/DC to 2 Live Crew while we sweat.

How about you?
