It’s Thursday and I’m leaving for sunny Aruba on Saturday!  I’m looking forward to rest, recovery, and maybe the odd cerveza!  I have not taken more than a week off from training since I had an appendectomy in 1991!  I think the week of rest will heal some minor aches and pains!

Anyway, enough about my trip, here is a great article about fitness clubs and why they suck!

http://articles.elitefts.com/articles/training-articles/twenty-things-that-piss-me-off-about-commercial-gyms-part-1/

Here is a recipe for some paleo friendly pancakes;

half cup coconut flour

half cup coconut milk

half cup unsweetened shredded coconut

5 eggs

splash of vanilla

dash of cinnamon

hand full of blueberries

one smashed banana

heat your skillet to 375 degrees and use coconut oil in pan

Enjoy, see you in a week!  I will let you all know how my week of rest went!

Milton’s Good Neighbours Community Day is this coming Saturday May 1st. The day will kick off at 8 am with a BBQ breakfast at Hugh Foster Hall (beside City hall).  We’re looking for anyone wanting to put together a FirePower team.

Our FirePower teams will be assigned a task and provided with all necessary equipment and Volunteer t-shirts. We will spend the morning helping a senior citizen or individuals by completing simple tasks. Jobs include washing windows, painting a room, helping with yard work or participating in clean up activities of waterways, parks or roadsides in Milton. There is no charge to participate in this event.

Anyone interested in joining can e-mail  sarah_mac19@hotmail.com or post a reply on the site by Wednesday April 28th.  And, of course, we will follow-up the event with a WOD at the gym!

So yesterday we broke new ground with a CrossFit birthday party.  Some got the pleasure to see Coach Mitch in full gear and some got to have a sword fight in the ring.  Kids had an amazing time.  Thanks Mitch for your super creativity and amazing leadership for the day. Love having you as part of the FirePower team!
