mkosmacek Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Hi!I'm a wife and mother in Omaha NE with a love/hate relationship with fitness. I've done a half marathon but wouldn't call myself a runner. I try to lift but have terrible ADD in man-land (the free weights area). I need someone who is willing to try new things and isn't willing to cave to the bitter sarcasm that slips out when things get tough. I'll bust my butt and push through!

nicknack Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Hey, I'm a husband and father in Omaha, so I thought I'd say hi. Our family has been going to Prairie Life Fitness for a few years, but I just finished my first month at CrossFit 402, and have been liking it a lot. The coaching and group dynamic is something that is new to me. Quote Link to comment

I think about getting back into it but I think I'd miss my running too. Have you been pretty successful in juggling it all? I always feel like I'm falling about two hours short....

nicknack Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 I used to exclusively run, and still enjoy it though I don't do it very often, and when I do it's often with my kids, which means stop and go, slower pace. I've done a half marathon, and 30km race. Our family did the Memorial Day run at Boys Town this year, and I rarely run more than 5-6 miles, as I don't have the time, and attention span, to run distance anymore. I've come around to the view that focusing on intensity provides a better results in less time. For me a least, a few months with barbells have had a greater impact my body composition (and strength) than years of running ever did, in much shorter workouts. Regarding free weights as "man land" -- for what it's worth, my Olympic lifting class at CF 402 last week was coached by a woman, and the men in the class were outnumbered 5 to 3. http://www.fitocracy.com/profile/knickknack/ Quote Link to comment
