I don't think Rocky found this funny, since he's two dogs long and a half a dog high.......I love my little Doxie mix. He may not look fast but he can sure bust out some 10 min. miles.
I ran after crossfit this morning. I got worked we did what's called "Fight gone bad". Check out http://www.crossfitoneworld.com for the details of this workout.
I met up with my friend Jerry who was running 20 miles. Ran with him for a bit. Went home came back out to run with Rocky & Jerry another 3.5 miles. Rocky did an awesome job pacing me..LOL...

That must be some fast leg turnover for such a short-legged wonder. How adorable!

that crossfit site is sweet and the videos of the exercises are great thanks, my trainer does a lot of this but costs a bunch so later i will be able to do this as a great resource, Thanks a ton.

That's one fast doggie to keep up with you..

just wondering about the crossfit? has it helped out alot in your ultrarunning? How many times do you usually do it per week?

Hey Drew-
I really feel crossfit is the best workout for me. I didn't go for two months and I noticed a difference. I was so much stronger.
I will work my way back up. Two months before my 2,700 mile journey. I hope to be Fit as F**k by then.

Hi Runbub-

All my 100 mile times were faster when I was doing crossfit. I felt stronger at the end of each 100 too! The hills felt easy.
I'm going to be going 5 days a week maybe more. I'm getting ready for the PCT so I really need to be strong.
I suggest other Ultrarunners do it 3 times a week. You really don't want to take away from the running.
At this point I am even training with a 14 pound pack trying to run at least 40 miles a week with that.

I need to survive & be strong through the PCT.
