WEEK SIX SPONSOR AND CHALLENGE.

We’ll miss you Brian, safe travels my friend!

 

Eric and I have been reading a lot of the reflections on the WLC website and it seems like we all need to button down the hatches for the last few weeks. Let’s make a commitment to finish the challenge strong and give it it’s due.

Next week is going to be sponsored by the lovely and talented people (well, actually it’s just “a” person) at Mee Nut Butter! Mee has generously donated one large jar of MeeNut Butter and a MNB T-shirt as well. If you haven’t tried MeeNut Butter, I would do so today.

However, be warned. Much like the Chris Rock sponsored rumors surrounding Krispie Kreem Donuts, if someone told me that Mee sneaks a little bit of crack into her MeeNut Butter, I would not be all that surprised – this stuff is tasty!

So what do you have to do to win all the above deliciousness? Simple. This week’s challenge is “The Brown Bag”. For the week, your lunch must be made at home and brought to work or school. No you don’t have to use an actual brown bag (someone was going to ask), just make some tasty food and take it to work.

Thank you very much to Mee for all of her support and to you all for you continued efforts.

400 M Run
30 Alternating Dumbbell Power Snatch

Thanks you guys. Eric and Traver-Many thanks for opening up your box and CPC family to me and whipping me into real shape all while enjoying it (mostly). I never expected the Crossfit experience to be anything like CPC (thought it was a bunch of raging military guys listening to Dubstep like Zach). I am sure I won't ever be able to replicate it and I don't think I want to. I'll definitely keep in touch. I've got my boy signed up for the under 5 regionals real soon! Followed by mutton busting. For those that may not know this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ey3MfG_PRhM

It's been an honor training with you, Brian. You brought a lot to the community and that will never be replaced. Great job on the CPC Wod this morning. Hopefully your name will stay up there for a long time. Safe travels and keep in touch...but don't worry, we intend to make sure we don't fall of your radar

Brian! So sad to see you go! The 6am class will surely miss you (though, this will make for one less person leaving me in the dust every workout! :)). Listen to Danette - please make sure to keep in touch. Wishing you and the family all the best. Safe travels eastward.

Brian - so happy I got to see you this morning! Safe travels to you and your family - remember to keep in touch - here or on the forum recording your workouts from NC!!!! Will miss you!

MG - brown bag can also mean a cooler full of all sorts of healthy lunch options. Bill Huffman, one of the founders of CrossFit Ventura used to pack all of his meals into a cooler the night before. It was all perfectly zoned paleo meals (plus 5 or 6 beers, just in case). If he can do it, you can do it!

Good luck Brian! Enjoy that NC weather! ;) As for the "bag lunch" challenge; I work from a car and other people's offices. I have no idea how bringing lunch from home will work for me. Does a Lara bar and baggie of veggies count as a bag lunch?!
