My favorite season: FALL
It’s almost fall (September 23rd it’s official) and nothing gets me motivated like a seasonal change. (not to mention, my birthday is in the fall and fun holidays, so it really is my favorite time of year ) I just mapped out my new fall workout program and I’m REALLY excited. I’m kind of a nerd in that I love writing down plans and checking things off and all that. :) I’m going to start the Monday after fall begins (September 26th)-I have my first marathon next weekend and my first crossfit competition the following weekend. So I think the Monday after that will be a good time to start fresh.
I have enjoyed the marathon training, but I’m ready for less duration and higher intensity training now (it’s what I’m best at and it’s WAY more fun). I also recently started working out at Wasatch Crossfit and LOVE the Crossfit world and have only been able to dedicate one or two times per week to this due to the heavy running schedule I’ve had. So I’m extremely excited to finally dedicate the majority of my workouts to Crossfit and see where I can go with this sport and what benefits I see from this workout style. I’m looking forward to getting to know more people in the Crossfit community at my gym and immersing myself in the culture (those of you who do Crossfit know what I’m talking about) as well.
I also start my 8-week boot camp series in a week, so I’m going to keep that in my schedule as well. It’s an AWESOME class taught by my good friend Kelly Sivulich and my hubby Craig at Crossroads Fitness in Ogden. I like this class because I get feedback on my food journals and am guaranteed an INTENSE, awesome workout once a week. It is sort of like multiple crossfit workouts strung together (for a 1.5hr workout) I love it. Anyway, here is to new goals, new beginnings and a new season (my favorite season)-FALL. Good luck to you and your workout goals for the rest of the year!
My Weekly Plan:
Monday: evening: Crossfit WOD + 2 mile run
Tuesday:morning: spin (at my other gym) evening: Crossfit WOD (if I'm not dead)
Wednesday: morning: Bootcamp (at my other gym)
Thursday: evening: Olympic Lifting Class and Crossfit Yoga
Friday: evening: Crossfit WOD + 2 mile run
Saturday: 2-5 mile run
Does anyone else have a new fall schedule they are starting up? What are your goals? Fill me in.

I've heard a lot about Crossfit and have been obsessively watching their videos on YouTube. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it as you get into it more.
