Kevin,Mom and I are going to cancel for tonight.Thanks!!
I think Chantal is HOT! …did I say that out loud?
Great newsletter once again Kevin. Chantal you should definitely go to the qualifiers.
I second that!….. ummm… all of it! *blush*
I will take a 5:30 spot. Thanks.
NewsLetter is super! First no sugar now the peanut butter!!! Great info!
Love the newsletter. Go Chantal! I want to try that shoulder stretch today…
The newsletter was a good read this month.
Chantal, you’ve done so much in a short amount of time. Your story is inspiring.
I LOVE my peanut butter! Waaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Shit! forgot to cancel my schedule for the next 2 days there is a spot in the am for tomorrow free!
Yup, someone is running
Can I eat Beurre d’Arachides instead?
Non
Ha!
About the newsletter and warming up… I just wanted to send some props out to Joel for having the most elaborate warm up I’ve ever seen. It’s impressive. Maybe when I’m his age I’ll be as diligent with my warm-up
elaborate, ok but how long does it take? I’d be curious to try it.
Patrick – His warm-up is specific to whatever he’s training that day so it changes, but it’s always thorough.
It takes the old man a looong time to warm-up!
HEY!! that’s the “Janine” wod!!
You bet it is!
Great newsletter. Chantal – sign up for the games. You would do so well.
I have to cancel my 5h30 class Kevin, I’m not really sore but I have zero energy in me, I though it will get better through the day but it is keep getting worst.
Awesome newsletter Kevin!! Chantal you are great!!
I feel the same way. Not too sore but completely useless. Tired back, tired everything hahah.
Kevin – Great job on the newsletter, as always.

I did this WOD in Oct (in my 1st week of Cross Fit) Was able to knock 1:15 off that time.
Newsletter is a good read. Here I thought Chantal has been Cross Fitting for a much longer time. You should definitely compete at the games.
As for giving up peanut butter, now that’s just wrong! I’m all for a healthier lifestyle, but dragging my butt out of bed every morning at 5:30 is commitment enough for this gal.
GREAT PR!
Good info in he news letter…If you do a stretching class/demo…I’m in
Great idea! …. a stretching class.
I’ve been trying to get Kevin to run a deep breathing class…maybe he could combine the two!
I’d be up for that
I like that IDEA!
Hey Chantel those are some pretty impressive stats! i should be careful you’re gonna out perform me soon!
haha. I love reading the journals everytime they come out but I’m always afraid that something delicious is going to take a beating and this time is no different…guess I just purchased my last bottle of PB *sigh*.
P.S. Ed you need to keep those fingers wrapped around the bar! Safety first haha!
yeah yeah, Bad habit for pullups I know haha
Awesome newsletter…another great read, but what’s the big idea pickin’ on my buddy Peanut Butter! Give it up — NO WAY!

Failed on the final pushup. Got it, but wouldn’t have gotten another. My cardio killed me on this! The exercises felt easy, except for trying to get low enough with my poor flexibility. My lungs on the other hand… felt like they were empty the whole time! workout 1 though – so I’ll take it!
