Joining a Crossfit Gym
For those of you on the lookout for signs of the apocalypse, I have one for you that may or may not be mentioned in Revelations.

I joined a gym today.

Well, it was bound to happen after my annual physical last week. Really it was a combination of factors, including the doctor visit, general restlessness, and the years of sitting in front of a computer. Now was a good time to start, since some of the PhD work is leveling out. This way I can get my body in shape to match the take-no-prisoners-killing-machine that my mind has become. Or something like that.

The gym is in Fort Collins, called Emergent Fitness, or EmerFit (though the shortened name reminds me of some sort of seizure). The guy running the place (Chris) has a number of Crossfit classes every day, and in spite of his demonstrated desire to kill me on the first day, I think I'll be back tomorrow.

My crossfit trainer uses skulls as decoration on everything. I think all the crossfit people are secretly trying to kill us.

I guess that is why they are paid. The images around here seem to be kettlebells. I didn't even know what those were before this week!

I have to admit, your evangelizing for Crossfit put the program on my radar. I have some Army friends that swear by it too, so when I was looking for a new gym, Crossfit was the first place I looked.

Welcome to EmerFit brother! I look forward to having you in class. I think you will be an animal after a few months. We just got to get your physical work capacity to match that killing machine you carry around in your skull.

See you tonight. -Chris
