There's always a new goal, always something to be excited about, always a community to be involved with.. I think runners can be just as annoying/overenthusiastic as crossfitters, but as you point out, CrossFit is newer, so it just comes across more strongly I think. <br /><br />It's totally possible to enjoy and reap benefits from BOTH. I think in general, it's best to not do just one thing anyway, so why not both?Meredithhttp://dareyoutoblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605902745484869625.post-50008475897873639222014-11-21T06:50:51.050-06:002014-11-21T06:50:51.050-06:00Yay, I'm glad 5love both, me too!

I love the body weight stuff but I often RX down the weight because I'm pretty small, have gone from being able to do 1 pull up to 25+ kipping unbroken . . . until my hands give out. I even got a bar muscle up about 6 months ago . . . .heck ya for a 47 year old! Also completed the CrossFit Games Open last year - now that was humbling, but so thrilled I finished. jennifer fhttp://thefitfork.comnoreply@blogger.com
