My second week 100k ultramarathon training is in the books, and I’m (mostly) feeling great. I’m also happy to report that when it comes to CrossFit, I am officially back in the box!

CrossFit at Home – Life Without the Whiteboards
Almost nothing about life now is the same as life a month ago, including how we CrossFit. Workouts have moved from boxes to garages and living rooms, coaches are hosting zoom workouts, and CrossFitters everywhere are working out solo.
