It’s shuttle run time at this year’s CrossFit Games, so Coach Heidi is planning on giving The Black Box a chance to run the same workout this Wednesday. Meet her at 28th Street and get ready to run and ultimately compare your time to the the athletes who will compete in Carson, California this weekend!

Also, don’t forget that for members of CFNYC, all the running WODs are INCLUDED IN YOUR MEMBERSHIP. Just sign up for her 6am, 7am, or 8am CFE WOD.

IMPORTANT! Please note that this Friday, July 13th, and this Monday, July 16th, there will be NO CFE WODs because Coach Heidi will be at the CrossFit Games in California. Thanks for your understanding!

    I don’t get the whole “ripped hands are cool” phenomenon. Do people really brag about it? I mean, I brag too. If you consider screeching in the shower when I get soap in the wounds “bragging.”

      You mean you don’t *love* explaining to your boss, coworkers, the cashier at Duane Reade and the lady at the salad bar that your hands are bandaged because you are SO HARDCORE??? “Did you get in a fist fight?” “No, I was flailing around on a pull up bar a.k.a. the sport of fitness, but you probably haven’t heard of it.”

        Nothing demonstrates how hardcore a person is like a gaping hand wound. That’s just science.
