I'm delayed in posting review of our last assemblage on March 1.  Grateful for a spring-like day, we participated in the cross-fit open, ForeverFit-style by modifying 14.1 open WOD.  Everyone did a 10  minute AMRAP of Slammers and Box Step Ups.  Got some good sweat on for sure.

Our discussion centered around "when to come to the gym" or when not to.

  • Illness involving fever, vomiting, or intense joint achiness (that differs from usual) are really the only reasons not to come move.  Otherwise when you feel a bug or are recovering from one, come in, warm up, move.  Ask the coach to help you avoid getting overly hot/stimulated but definitely do strength training.  Good stimulant for your immune system to help you fight off the bug that ails you. 
  • Soreness vs pain:  We talked about the difference in insult, irritation, and injury/pain 
    • How proper movements, good sleep, food work toward recovery from each.  Again, the coach on duty can help you adjust in these situations.  Come in, warm up:  if improved or same, keep going.  If worsens talk to Corey or me.  
    • How "resting" hinders recovery
CFA is having a HUGE party 
March 29th from 1130 ish till 2 ish 
in celebration of 5 years of community
  

Food available, bring friends/family, workout or not, visit and build more community ties. There will be a big bouncy obstacle course if you're interested in playing.
Because of this celebration we'll have our NEXT FOREVERFIT get together May 3rd --
Be thinking about whether we want to change the time of day or day of week for the spring/summer months.  I'm open to whatever.

Hope to see you on the 29th!!
