Crossfit

I am very late in doing so, but have slowly bought into the Crossfit thing. Its been a busy summer of events and my right arch has been bothering me during the run. Turns out that I am running the Tulsa Marathon in less than 3 weeks with only a couple of 5 milers under my belt. I need to be doing something other than eating potato chips on my couch.
Last week I did my first workout, which was pretty weak. It consisted of rounds of 20 push ups, 5 pull ups and 20 sit ups in a period of 20 minutes. All in all, I got in 160 pushups, 40 pull ups, and 160 sit ups. Yesterday I did another, my second; 10 pushups on gymnastic rings, 20 body weight squats and 20 sit ups in 20 minutes. That equalled 80, 160 and 160 respectively.
We will soon see if my committment level is in it. These 20 minute slash fests are making me pretty sore (kind of ashamed to admit), but I hope to reach the fitness level of my boy Jer soon. The good news is it does seem to be working.
Before and after....

Haha, YES! The long lost photo.
Glad you're giving the ole Crossfit a try. Those 20 minute max round workouts are good, but I would also recommend you do some of those shorter, super-high intensity workouts as well (ex. the 21-15-9 combos of a weighted exercise with a gymnastic exercise). The anaerobic hell those produce is unmatched.

You're a beast.

Bronco, be careful. I'm coming to visit you in Colorado soon and if I keep up this crossfit mumbo jumbo I'll arrive and snap you in half.
