TRy going onto crossfit.com and do that work out. You will drop that 10lbs
I checked out their website. I have been drinking a gallon of water plus a day, gym 3-4 days a week and running. I am getting closer, according to the "tape test calculator" if I could ad 1" to my neck I would be golden. I found alot of interesting info on passing the tape test on the web. I will be looking at the cross fit more, but I still have to work on my 2 mile times in the mean time. At my old age I get like 17:42 to run it in for my 60%, I guess age has its benefits. Of course we all know 60% isn't good enough!

Crossfit is amazing if you do it. Based on my own experience and others I know, you're running times will decrease...even without running. The cardio load on most of the daily workouts is so intense that it will improve your ability to run, even though most of the WOD's don't actually include running. I've been doing CF for about 4 months now, and I now consider days when I just run as rest days.
If you do pursue CF, take some time to work up to the prescribed workout. It's intended for elite athletes and will almost certainly injure someone who's fitness level is not very high. I was damn fit when I started, and I ended up blowing up both biceps. The other three guys I know who are doing it all had similar experiences. Scale the workouts and stop at the first sign of abnormal or "bad" pain.
It's a fantastic program, just be smart about it. I wish I had been.
don't forget puttting that heater on your back and logging some miles. Staying at a 15 min/mile pace will help. As far as the 2 mile run, try this: It is usually administered on a 1/4 mile track: sprint the straightaways and coast out the turns. Using this, I got my barely 13 min 2 mile par time to almost 11:30. My team started the same and all blew 13 minutes out of the water.
Sprinting the straights and coasting the turns is a great training exercise because it is interval training. Fartleks/speed play like that will teach your body to use oxygen more efficiently and really improve your recovery.
Or just come up here and I will drop you off where we hunt elk at the Divide, you will get in shape Fast if you don't expire first.

Get someone to run after you with a cattle prod. If they catch you while running an even pace they get to externally motivate you. They chaser gets to up the pace once a week. [Tooth]
OK so a buddy of mine said this really works.
He ordered this via a magazine add.
For 100.00 lose 10# in 1 week GURANTEED so he ordered.
Monday morning the doorbell rang and there was a stunning blonde in nothing but running shoes wearing a sign said catch me and you can have your way with me.
So off he went, this went on everyday for a week. He never caught her.
But he liked the way he felt and actually lost 12#'s. So He thought what the hell I am going to order package #2 $150.00 lose 20#s. So he did.
Monday came and the doorbell rang and there were 2 Gorgeous chicks in running shoes with their sign saying catch us and you can have us both. So off he went again.
Well he was doing pretty good but at the end of the week he never caught them. Feeling great now and having lost another 23#'s he dicided to order package #3, $200.00 guranteed to lose 50#s. When he placed his order the customer service rep asked "are you sure", he said yes as he really wanted to drop the final 30 or so #s.
Monday came, he was all ready, the doorbell rang and there was a Buff dude in pink running shoes that had a sign on his chest that said If I catch you Your Mine.
Thats pretty good!
