Ok, not really. I just wanted a clever way to say that I’m going to be visiting some CrossFit boxes during our honeymoon. I love CrossFit, and if you know me then you are probably saying, “yeah, what else is new?” I do love me some CrossFit. And I love my CrossFit family. They are a family – a big, supportive, extended family. I’m super happy to be a part of our gang and also equally thankful to have them all in my life. I believe each CrossFit box is like that. They are truly amazing places to work out and be a part of that environment. You can’t find it anywhere else…well, I have never found it before, not on this level. But my CrossFit family extends outside of the Cedar Park box. Every time I visit another box, my community/family of CrossFitters grows. And I never want to stop expanding my community!

It seemed naturally that wherever we went so would our WODs. WODs can really be done anywhere. Ok, so maybe you can’t haul around an olympic weight set with you in your car, but there are PLENTY of WODs that can kick your ass with no equipment. Don’t believe me? Do 100 burpees for time! Let me know how you do. 🙂 And while we probably will be reduced to doing some WODs wherever we can along the way, if at all possible, you can bet I’m going to be in a CrossFit box somewhere getting my fitness on! I already have 3 places lined up to visit. Well, I do need to make some calls to finalize some things, but we have plans to stop by a couple here and there. While we are staying in NYC for 2.5 weeks, we plan on training exclusively at the Black Box. It’s not far from where we are staying at all.

I can’t wait to meet all of the people and coaches at the Black Box. I know that I’ll be Facebooking with them in no time. I Facebook with all of my CrossFit friends even those from other boxes. We constantly encourage and congratulate each other on our CrossFit journeys. Hearing how other CrossFitters are doing is very addictive. I understand if you just don’t get it. I know my Facebook statuses must seem really odd and are probably getting old by now. I can’t help it! It just takes hold of you, and you love every second of it!

We also plan on hitting up some CrossFit boxes Philadelphia, PA and one in Mississippi. I haven’t looked into it yet, but I’m sure that we might hit up one in New Orleans. We’ll be there for a couple of days on our way home. And the best box of all to visit? Well, of course CrossFit Strong in Dallas where I’ll be getting my CrossFit Level 1 certification just days before we head back home. You have no idea how excited I am to visit this place simply because after a long 2 days, I’ll be certified to coach CrossFit! Eek! So exciting! 😀 And I owe it all to my wonderful husband-to-be for purchasing it for me! He rocks!

There is a tradition when you visit other boxes of exchanging t-shirts. I talked to Dave at our box, and we are going to be getting our t-shirts this week. Can’t wait to collect some more! I love CrossFit t-shirts almost as much as I love CrossFit. They go hand-in-hand. 🙂

Why is this week going so slowly? I’m ready to hit the road…except for the leaving our kitties part. That part just makes me want to cry. I really hope that they will be okay without us, and that they remember who we are when we return. Has anyone ever left a cat for an extended period of time? Oh, and no, they won’t be home alone for a month! What kind of mommy do you think I am???
