    Brian, great post. Next week I’m on vacation and I’ll use it as a back off week. Lots of stretching, mobility, and rehab. And, I’ll take my foam roller with me.

    So, today marks the big Helen showdown between Erika and Jon – well, just Jon, really. Big stakes are at hand, however – loser runs the Army 10-miler. Moderator of the event (Brian? Aaron?), when is this going down?

    Thanks to everyone for the nice comments yesterday! I’ve been out of the office all day so this is my first time checking in. I figured that if I posted my thanks this late in the day on the Tuesday board, no one would see it and just assume that I’m an unresponsive ass…which may actually be true but I’m trying to improve. Either way, you guys are great and really are the primary reason that I love PCF.

    Great post, Kevin. I know you don’t know me personally, but I feel exactly the same way about my knee injury. I was doing Crossfit by myself while I was away for a year. And I kept hurting my knee. Now, I’m back… working on it… but am constantly disheartened by how much it holds me back. At times, I feel like I’ll never get where I want to be… I’ll try to work on that patience thing. Thanks. It helps knowing I’m not the only one feeling this frustration.

    Wilkins,

    Now is a good time to tell you. I borrowed your shoes while you were on vacation. You should go on vacation more frequently.

    Thanks,

    The Fight Gone Bad crew is giving away an iPad to the individual that sends out the most fundraising emails through their Rapid Giving account today between 1PM and 1AM.

    There are plenty of you registered to do the WOD on the 25th, but not registered to raise funds through Rapid Giving. There won’t be a better time to start! If you haven’t created an account yet, click on the link in my name.

    We’re also only $90 short of our goal to reach $5,000 by the end of the week. Good work everyone!

    All,

    Anyone going to the Jimmy Buffett concert this Saturday? My girlfriend and I, along with some of her friends are going. We are trying to get a party bus or any kind of safe means of transportation to avoid drinking and driving. If you know of anyone who has a party bus reserved and needs spots filled let me know. Thanks.

    Boo – I won’t be able to bear witness to the Helen challenge either. Guess I’ll have to rely on Mike and Nicole’s beautiful photography/ cinematography.

    Politically correct Spidermonkey will just wish both Jon and Erika good luck.

    JKett, I’m going to see Buffett this Thursday with a few friends. His shows are always a good time. Anyone else going Thursday night?

    Has anyone gone to a pose running seminar? If so what did you think? I have to do something about my running.

    Brian, let the record show that I plan on hiking up my skirt and flirting shamelessly during my lunch break today so if all goes well my numbers should be up by Friday. Jeff- JonPCF taught a great POSE class several months ago at the box and I found it to be very helpful.

    Does anyone else think it is a coincidence that Jon has decided to do Helen on Friday at 6….during the 12 hours that Earl is scheduled to visit DC? Jon, no excuses or “do-overs” if the weather is shitty.

    Also, I won’t be back by then…so B, I expect you will judge his ROM appropriately.

    And now I’ve got to go burn some running shoes and body glide in a sacrifice to the running gods…..because there is no way in hell I want to lose this bet and end up running the 10 miler.

    A Battle for the Ages – Jon M. vs. H. Earl

    Jon – I’ll volunteer to judge your reps as I’ll be stricter than anyone else or I could do my own challenge and take a drink for each rep you do plus chug while you run the 400 meters. 8 minutes of straight drinking versus 8 minutes of straight exercise.

    @JeffJ(2)

    I can help with your running as I’m an Assistant Coach for CrossFit Endurance. (there, a little unknown fact about Tes) You want help with your running? e-mail me tes at potomaccrossfit.com

    at Jon and Erika, so, since Helen is named after a Hurricane and you might possibly be doing it during Hurrican Earl can we therefore rename this workout to Hearl? of which you will both be doing afterwards…

    I noticed there haven’t been any other comments on the board in almost 2 hours since Tes’s joke.

    instead of a hurricane party we could have a Earl WOD
