So who here does Crossfit? (please no Crossfit haters... it's played out)

I'm still using my 2.0s. I HATE running in them. Can't run in flat shoes since I broke my back... which totally sucks because I loved running in my Innov8s. I can do about a mile and then I feel it.. so.. I take three pairs of shoes to the gym.. Oly shoes, nano, and running shoes.. it sucks at times, but it is what it is.

Apparently the 3.0 and 4.0 are much better for running, one day I'll get a pair.. just not sure when. How's the leg holding up?

That's what I was probably going to do too. Try to get a pair of the lifters and runners when I can get them cheap like these and have shoes specifically for certain things since they differ so widely and shoes are a big part of it. As of now these are my everything shoe and once I get better I'm sure I'll have a better idea of what I want and why and will find a good deal but until then these will have to due. Running in them was interesting and I kind of liked it. I can see what you mean though as it seemed to be a little more impact than I would like for more than a 400m warmup run.

The leg is better. Last night was the first time I was able to job in fact. I did a brisk walk the first half of the 400m warmup and then slowly increased the speed to where I was jogging by the end. It felt pretty good but I still didn't do any of the squatting warmups or movements. I felt better doing the other movements though as before it hurt to walk so doing just about anything (even upper body stuff) was awkward due to the leg injury. For instance, when we did planks or push ups I had to rest my left foot on top of my right heel and try to balance my entire body weight on three points instead of four. Doesn't sound that bad but the additional support you need to balance while going through those things shows up quickly since you exert more energy through the movement just to stay upright. Hoping to be able to do a little bit more Wednesday night but I'll have to see what my body tells me. At this point I'm pretty much going to have to re-take the Fundamental course next month so no sense pushing it now. I'm just trying to get in better cardio shape and improve where I can on basic movements so next month comes a little bit easier when I have to start over again. Either way I'm working out so it's not a big deal really. Just want to make sure I've got a firm base of fundamentals to work with moving forward so I can do compound movements perfectly and as little as I've been able to demonstrate this month I'm just not comfortable with my practice of them to move onto the next level of classes. I talked to the owner and he agreed with me and said we'll re-evaluate one we're all done and see if I'm far enough along that I can come up and get 1 on 1 training for the lower body stuff that I missed and if I can demonstrate proper form doing them move on. Since this is the last week and we have only two classes left I doubt that by start of next week I'll be healthy enough to hit everything and if I don't feel 100% I'm not going to push it and risk injuring myself which will put me out again. I guess we'll see.
