By the way, Dan took a short video of me from the competition last weekend and he thought I should post it. Here ya go!

Whats up?

Here's another update: Not much has changed since the last post- Dan finished up another quarter in dental school and did amazing! I hope our kids get all of his genes. He's been enjoying taking it easy the last few days without school. I'm staying extremely busy with work- I go from working at the orthodontist to working at the Crossfit gym most nights of the week and Saturdays. It is a ton of fun though (the Crossfit is fun, not so much of the bill collecting and insurance). I've been coaching a girls only class every Friday night at 530 and a kids class every Saturday. The news came (NBC 4) to film us so we'll be on TV soon! Sorry our blog is so boring to read, I never know what to say! Here's some pictures my good friend Kim took from a Crossfit competition last weekend:

An Update

Like I've probably said before, I am terrible at blogging. I'm sorry I never update, when I actually have time, its the last thing on my list to do. Dan and I have been staying very busy- Dan with school (obviously) and me with work and Crossfit. Dan is still doing great with school, he's excited about learning things he can actually apply to dentistry. We had our first Crossfit Kids last Saturday, which went great! It'll be a weekly thing for now on, so thats exciting! In a few weeks, our Crossfit Kids program will be featured on the news! Sorry for the brief post, but that's all I've got for now. Have a good day!



We go to all of the Ohio State sporting events we can. We love it! Last week, we went to a men's volleyball game and Dan was asked to play Rock Paper Scissors between periods and he won! hahahaha we was so embarrassed! What a good sport!

We went to a men's hockey game with some friends a few weeks ago, heres some pics:






Heres a pic from Crossfit Kids:

Home!!

Not a whole lot of things have changed around the Adair home lately. Dan finished up his first quarter in dental school, and he did great! We just got back from Centralia for Christmas and had a great time as always. We saw everyone in my family, which is impressive (I'm the youngest of 7, all of us are married). I'll be honest, I'm seriously terrible at blogging- I never know what to write about! So, I'll keep it short and just post some pictures from my new camera Dan got me for Christmas!

Dan took a picture of my family picture when I was like, 8. He thinks I look just like "the Olsen twins" from the full house days. Eh?

Its been a while!

Where to start! I got a job about a month ago at an orthodontics office as the financial coordinator and its going great! Everyone I work with is super nice. Its not what I went to school for, but its a good job. I'm still doing as much as I can with fitness though. Right now, I'm working with Crossfit 614 (the gym I go to) to start up a Crossfit Kids with local Parks and Rec programs. I'm starting to train for Crossfit sectionals- which are in March (I think). Basically, Crossfit has a huge competition every summer which are comparable to the Olympics. Pretty much, sectionals are the first elimination round and it goes from there. I highly doubt I'll get any further than sectionals, but it should be fun anyways. Hmmm, what else has been going on. Dan is doing great in school- finals are in a couple of weeks so he's really busy studying and whatnot. He is such a hard worker! I'm so proud of him.
We had a great Thanksgiving! Dan has a cousin who lives in Cincinnati that invited us over for Thanksgiving dinner. We had a great time getting to know them better. She has such a cute family! To start the day out right, a few friends and I ran in a 5.09 mile Turkey Trot with over 4,000 other runners, I finished in 44:12. It was a lot of fun! We even won some pumpkin pies because we were some of the first 1,000 people to cross the finish line! Here's some pics!



After the race with our pies! Stephanie, me and Cossette

If you're still confused as to what crossfit is, here's a couple pretty cool videos!

Crossfit for Childhood Cancer

For those of you who don't know what crossfit is (which I'm assuming is most of you), wikipedia puts it pretty well. "CrossFit is a strength and conditioning brand. CrossFit combines weightlifting, sprinting, and gymnastics. CrossFit says that proficiency is required in each of ten fitness domains: cardiovascular/respiratory endurance,stamina,strength,flexibility, power, speed, agility, balance, coordination, and accuracy. CrossFit athletes run, row, jump rope, climb rope and carry odd objects. They frequently move large loads quickly over long distances, and use powerlifting and olympic weightlifting techniques. CrossFit athletes also dumbbells, gymnastic rings, pullup bars, kettlebells, and many bodyweight exercises. CrossFit is used in nearly 1,700 gyms worldwide and by many fire departments, law enforcement agencies and military organizations" I love crossfit because every day is different. I never really hit that plateau people commonly hit. Its no easy workout though- I've never worked out so hard in my life. Its always a good accomplishment to finish a daily workout. Here's crossfit's main website: www.crossfit.com if youre interested in learning.
So now that you know a little about crossfit, I competed in my first crossfit competition ever this morning! All of the proceeds went to childhood cancer. Our workout consisted of: For time- 80 yard sprint, 30 squats with a 25 lb sandbag over your shoulders, 21 burpees (this is a burpee:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21dvQyNiTjM), 21 box jumps- 20 inches, 40 yard sprints with a 25 lb sandbag 6 times, 15 burpees, 15 box jumps, 40 yard sprints with a 25 lb sandbag 4 times, 9 burpees, 9 box jumps, 40 yard sprints with a 25 lb sandbag 2 times, 30 squats with a 25 lb sandbag, 80 yard sprint. It was a REALLY hard workout! I finished in 13 minutes 25 seconds. I've been feeling sick lately and was pretty sick today, but I still finished third! Here are some pictures Dan took...




Here's an awesome quote I read the other day from the guy who came up with crossfit:

"There's a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstances permit. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results."
