Yep- I used to eat a snack an hour or so before I did my strength training, but not now! (unless it's one of the heavy days where I'm just doing heavy single reps) My arms feel like they're going to fall off at the shoulder right now from yesterday's workout

I'm going to try keeping up with crossfit 5 days a week until race season starts. I think it will help me with pain tolerance and conditioning!

Sorry for the hijack... I guess the take home message is that crossfit is good core training if you like doing full-body workouts that will make your core stronger rather than just targeting the muscles directly
