What is CrossFit?

CrossFit workouts are comprised of constantly varied functional movements (like pushing, pulling, squatting, lifting, running) executed at high intensity. The workouts themselves are completely scalable, which means that a new participant and a CrossFit junkie can complete the same workout with changes in load and intensity. These workouts attack the main issues regular gym workouts are often accused of or cause: lack of time, motivation, functionality, and boredom.

MTB to Coyote Hills

Rode for 10 miles today to each summit at Coyote Hills. I would rate Coyote hills as having beginning to intermediate trails. A few trails there are so steep the only way to advance is to walk your bike. One thing I appreciated was the fact that the trails weren't inundated with animal crap. Nothing is worse than huffing and puffing up a steep incline with the scent of animal shit lingering in the air. That's my 2 cents.

I'm not addicted to mountain biking, but I can see why one could and would be.

It gets you out in nature. I can imagine that any mountain biker would become more in touch with nature’s cycles. Seeing animals in their natural habitat. The muckiness and early growth of Spring. The heat and dryness of Summer. And the beauty and crispness of Autumn, especially in the early morning. Today's weather and wind conditions was impeccable. No bay breeze and warm at 6:30pm.

It was simply amazing outside today. The weather is a huge reason as to why I never left to Texas. It's one of those days where you want to lounge around at your favorite mom and pop's coffee shop enjoying comforting colloquial conversations with your F&F and fellow locale.

And that is exactly what I did. Took in the scenes at Mission Coffee then traveled to Hayward to have Fijian Food at this hole in the wall called "Curry Corner Takeaway". Hands down the best Fijian food I have ever eaten. Yelp them here.
