CrossFit for Hope

CrossFit is combating childhood cancer and other deadly diseases through its inaugural CrossFit for Hope fundraiser, benefiting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

It’s no secret that I’m addicted to CrossFit. If you know me at all, you’ve heard me talk about it or you’ve read some of my stuff on Facebook, Twitter, or my blog. When I saw that CrossFit was putting on a fundraiser, I knew I wanted to help out and could have fun doing it.

On June 9th, I’ll be doing the “Hope” workout, which is 3 rounds of:

  • 1m Burpees
  • 1m 75# Power snatch
  • 1m Box jump, 24″ box
  • 1m 75# Thruster
  • 1m Chest to bar Pull-ups
  • 1m Rest

One point is given for each rep. My goal is to get 150 total reps in this WOD.

If you’d like to help support this great cause, visit my profile on the CrossFit for Hope site to make a flat donation or a performance-based sponsorship based on the number of reps I actually complete in the workout. 100% of the proceeds will go directly to St. Jude. I’ve pledged $0.20 per rep to kick things off.

Thanks!

Trio of Fun

When I pulled in to Meijer to pick up ice cream and Gatorade, I parked in front of this three-wheeled vehicle. The logo on the front says “TRI-FUN” and notice the skull-like hood ornament. I should have waited around to catch a look at the driver.

As I walked down the frozen treats aisle, I quickly noticed some pints of ice cream on sale, priced 3 for $5. I took it as a sign. Three is the number of the day.
