Food for Thought: Sugar may give you wrinkles via a process called glycation, in which excess blood sugar binds to collagen in the skin, making it less elastic. Cutting back on sugar may help your skin retain its flexibility.
CrossFit Subway Series: Tomorrow is the last challenge at CrossFit South Brooklyn. We need to get to the destination around 8:45am, so the plan is to take the 7:57am G train. We need to leave from the box no later than 7:45m. CrossFit South Brooklyn is going to host a potluck style BBQ after the event, so bring a side dish with you. Didn’t sign-up yet? There’s still time to do so. If you are not participating, sign up as a spectator and come with us to support our athletes! For those staying back in LIC, there is a 10am class and a free intro class at 11am. Please sign up for your classes here.

Have you seen our new Logbook? It’s super cool! Pick yours up at the box for $20. Both Olga and I are using this one now and totally loving it! Note: though you don’t have to necessarily have this awesome and invaluable tool in your arsenal, you totally MUST have some means of logging your training. We are the School of Fitness and, unless you enjoy wasting time, you have to take notes in a school. You need to know exactly where you stand and use this information in your daily training and lifetime pursuit of optimal health. So, at the bare minimum, spend 99c on a composition book at the drug store around the corner. You will not regret it. If you are the digital mastermind, beyondthewhiteboard.com is a great option too. We have quite a few folks who are using it. Ask their opinion.
If you don’t want to pay for beyondthewhiteboard, you can use http://noscrolls.com for free.
Thanks Doug! Keep forgetting noscrolls.com. There is also logsitall.com, wodclub.com, withfit.com, athleticslog.com and I’m sure a few more sites I’m forgetting.
I’m planning to drive tomorrow morn if anyone needs a ride – can fit three more people comfortably. Can prolly fit two in the trunk, but have to be small and not mind suffocating.
Let me know if there are any takers and I’ll swing by the box.
