25:48 (1:28 PR)

Crossfit at 7am + a 5k run in a downpour = Priceless

As I drove to CFV this morning in the pouring rain I couldn’t help but be reminded of all the early morning drives to workouts I had in Oregon. Except this time it was different, I was excited for it!

Then this strange feeling came over me as I approached CFV, and I just  knew that we were running today! It just made sense... mentally I was preparing as I walked in the door and then I saw the 6am crew soaking wet, smiling, and loving life! I knew before I saw the white board...

“5k Run”.

I was instantly pumped and ready to go! I use to hate running, but now I “almost” look forward to it! As we did our warm-up 400m I was quickly reminded that we weren’t in Oregon as it was nearly 65 degrees... it was just pouring!

Never mind the 5k, never mind the PR, I was yet again reminded of why I love Crossfit! There was something pretty liberating this morning about running for 25 minutes in the rain with your shirt off!

I guess I am finally starting to understand what it means when people say that running is fun... well almost ;)
