It’s been while since we programmed this classic CrossFit benchmark workout. No matter how many rounds you get after 20 minutes you are spent. It’s one effective full body workout and a great welcome back after all the Thanksgiving pie.

Movember. One of my favorite times in the gym. Right after all the Halloween costumes of the Frankenchipper begins the time for growing a mustache worthy of Tom Selleck, Ron Burgundy, or Hulk Hogan (at least in my mind). We had over 10 guys grow their Mo this year with everything ranging from the “walrus”, trucker”,”Magnum P.I.”, to the “after Eight”. Next year I hope we get either a “Viking” or a “Captain Hook”. This art of of manliness is also for worthy causes; the fight against prostate and testicular cancer. This year we raised more than a couple hundred bucks as Team SnoRidge MoBros. This was our 3rd annual SRCF Movember with our 3rd exclusive t-shirt and the final day of the month ending with the MoBros WOD. Some of the MoSistas and MoKids supported with their own face-painted staches (thanks Rona!).

Good day today to work off the Thanksgiving indulgence and then go home to overeat the leftovers. Tomorrow is our annual “MoBros” WOD and our close-out of Movember. Wear any one of our Movember t-shirts and be prepared to run waves for the 0930 class as needed. MoSistas feel free to wear your own stache, so long as it’s temporary.

Deb Bday and 500 WOD Crew

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you squatches! We hope all of you are able to spend a safe holiday with family, friends and loved ones. Michelle, Ashley, and I are thankful for so much that makes our gym family so great. We are thankful for the community inside our walls with all of you. We are thankful for the support you all have shown to us and each other day in and day out. Thank you for making SRCF a place where you always look forward to walking through the door each day to see friends, get fitter, and push hard and challenge yourselves. A special thank you to our coaches, who without each of you we would simply not be where we are today.

It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost 5 years for us as an affiliate. From our garage to leasing our first space to owning our own building; it’s been a great ride. I’m thankful to Michelle for being one hell of a partner in this CrossFit gym owner thing, and for her passion for coaching and CrossFit. Most of all I am thankful for simply being able to call her my wife.

Show your Seahawk and SnoRidge Pride on one shirt! Since the Seahawks are on the road to the SuperBowl and my Skins are in the Toilet Bowl I figured it was a great time to make a 12th Man inspired SRCF T-shirt. I’m pretty happy with how this turned out (after many mock-ups and ideas with our designer); simple and “jersey-like”.

We will likely only do pre-orders for these so if you want one then make sure you post in our Facebook gym page with your size, color and style (short or long sleeve). If you aren’t the social media type then post here or write it on the whiteboard in the gym.
