As rx'd or not as rx'd? That is the question
Dan leads a Thursday-night free beginners' class. Don't forget we've also got free beginners' classes every Saturday and Sunday morning at 10am. There's still time to sign up for one for this weekend.
Ooh, shiny kettlebells.
What brand are those? I'm thinking about getting a few to use at home and/or the office gym and I'm considering a bunch of brands. Those look different than the Dragon Door ones; are they KBC?
There's an article in the WSJ today about kids "smoking smarties" which is basically them crushing up sugar candies, sucking them in quickly, and blowing out the dust, mimicking real smoking.
Of course the parents and teachers are outraged.
But I found it funny that no one even thought that perhaps blowing out the sugar dust could actually be quite a bit healthier than actually eating it! These kids are potentially and inadvertently saving themselves from diabetes and obesity!

Reminder for those interested in CFE:
Meet up at Brooklyn 6:15, warm up, drills, workout, cool down. Hope to be done at 7 pm so we can make with the eating at the CF Rest night dinner a few blocks away.
Without Brian H, the instruction won't be quite as good, but the WoD will still kick your ass.
Those Ross sisters will blow your mind!
That's s*** is bananas.

Re Ross Sisters:
who wants to learn that exit move with me?
This is pretty much the best day of my life. Now that CrossFit NYC has linked to me, I can consider myself OFFICIALLY legit. Thanks for the love, Black Box.
Regarding the link on brain decline at age 27, sad but likely.
Selegiline and Piracetam might help. I'm seriously considering starting to take those in the near future.

By coincidence I had planned to roast some cauliflower today. I'm not really sold on the white wine vinegar-based herb mixture (I made it minus the raisins). I made my own paleo version, but I think I prefer a different seasoning combo.
