We are officially naming August Baseline Month. If you have never done one yet or it has been more than 6 weeks since you have done your baseline last then it’s that time again. So come during open gym or schedule it with me and lets get it done…in August. Let me know if you have any questions.
Today’s WOD:
The key to flexibility is consistency. Stretching everyday for at least 10 minutes is far better than stretching 70 minutes once a week. Stretching is also a long-term commitment and must be continued indefinitely to maintain and/or increase flexibility.

Last weekend was a very BIG eye opener for me. Liza, Annie and I attended the CrossFit Running and Endurance Certification. And WOW it was Amazing! Anyone who runs or even anyone who CrossFit’s this is a very educational cert about how to run and train with endurance.
One of the topics I got a lot out of was learning about the correct shoes to wear. One of the reasons why a lot of runners are injured is because of the “running” shoe’s they wear.
Keys to wearing a proper running shoe:
-Flat, flat, flat: The more heel support you have the more you “heel strike”
-Light: The lighter the shoe, the lighter you are which helps with creating less force
-Know if you have a wider or more narrow foot.
