This is CrossFit - Nobody told you it was easy!

As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love.  If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full. “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. These things I command you, so that you will love one another.
-John 15:9-17

“Only the weak use "I can't" as an excuse to give up.” 
-T.A.

 ”No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other.

Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
-Ephesians 5:15-17 

"We do not remember days, we remember moments."

-Cesare Pavese

CF864 Closed - Today's workout to be completed on your own. Have fun getting outside today. Grab your children and make it a family WOD! Have fun!

See Friday June 21st post for schedule info for this week.


Don't be slack. Need accountability this week? Post on the CrossFit864 Facebook page if you complete the WOD each day. WODs will be posted here each day this week.

Today's WOD - Run 1 Mile stop every minute and do 10 Jumping Squats.

Warm-up Spend plenty of time getting prepared for the work that you are about to do. Do not risk getting injured by rushing into the WOD without preparing your body for the hard work ahead. 

Challenge WOD - Run 3 Miles stopping every minute to do 20 Air Squats.
If you have a weighted vest wear it.

Skill Work - 10 rounds:
Handstand 30 seconds
Squat hold 30 seconds

Use this as an opportunity to work on squat form by getting low in each squat.

Skill work - finish with wall squats and squat stretch hold.

Abdominal Strength - 100 (4 count) Flutter Kicks then 100 Sit-ups

Remember to stay hydrated. You cant do it just by sipping on a small bottle of water during your workout. Drink water throughout the day (sorry, soft drinks and sweet tea don't do the job.) Stay healthy! Stay strong!

Thanks for your continued support.

Now go get after it! 3,2,1 Go!

BE STRONG!

Gym Schedule for next week
Hey guys, CF864 will be closed next week. We will have a Saturday WOD (June 22) and will close June 24-28. We will return Saturday June 29 for the Upstate Affiliate League (CrossFit Competition) at Swamp Rabbit CrossFit. Sorry for any inconvenience this might cause. A WOD will be posted here each day that you can do at home with no equipment required (hope that all of you do it.) We love what we do each and every day at CF864 and we are very blessed to have such a fun, dedicated, supportive, hardcore group like you. It is great to start each day knowing that it will be filled with the opportunity to see so many of you working hard to reach your personal goals. Thank you very much for your understanding and your consideration as we get a few days of quality family time away from our daily routine. We are really looking forward to this time together with our boys. We appreciate each and every one of you very much. We will miss you this week and look forward to seeing all of you on Monday July 1 as we resume our normal gym schedule. We are very proud to be part of such an awesome group of hardworking athletes! 
Ya'll are our CF864 family.

Don't let this be an opportunity for you to slack off on your hard work. Need accountability this week? Post on the CrossFit864 Facebook page if you complete the WOD each day. Let's see who's dedicated. 


BE STRONG!
