Keith Z. (pictured below, right) is raising money again for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, this time running (only!) 26.2 miles (this Sunday at the NYC Marathon) but with the added burden of wearing a 50-pound rucksack. You can donate to the cause here. (Ozzy would approve.)

Brian - Will CFE still be on at Columbus Circle tonight given the expected rainy weather?
I certainly hope CFE is still on. We aren't a baseball team!
real sports can be played in the rain. just saying.
On my end of authority, I will be covering CFE tomorrow morning 0645 at the manhattan box.
Normally I wouldn't care about running in the rain but with 26.2 miles looming on Sunday I don't want to put myself at risk.
Made up the Deadlifts at work yesterday.
405
425
445
465
475 (PR)
485 (f)
I apparently can't count though - as I thought I had done 7 lifts. Previous PR was 455# during the total a week or so ago.
Tony I am with you, 26.2 is a long way to go if your coughing from flem not effort. if it doesn't clear up i will do a treadmill cfe wod
I'm still planning to run with CFE tonight, if we're still on. If it's cancelled, I'll head to the Box. I suppose if it's coming down in torrents, we'll call it swimming instead, right?
I plan on running/swimming at CFE this evening. The park should be nice and quiet for a change.
Afterwards I plan to help Eric set up his space.
Muscle ups are back! Nate: 8 rounds even. Last time only got 6+2 muscle ups.
Sara --- Niiiiiiiiiice!!!

Did anyone find out if CFE is on?
sorry for the late notice
YES CFE is always on, rain, snow, sun, whatever. if you paid alot of money and trained really hard for an event and then it rained on that day are you not going to show up. of course not, you are going to compete and try your absolute hardest.
This is life you deal with the hand that you are dealt.
Brian - I will meet you at the mall - prob around 6.45ish
