The 5pm crew enjoys the first sunny signs of spring as they prepare to disembark before yesterday’s WOD.

760697248_gcyNq-MOn the heels of yesterday’s commentary on the difference CFS has made in the lives of so many in our area (BTW, many thanks to everyone for the kind words of encouragement and support!), it would be fitting if we were able to give serious props to the heart and soul of CrossFit Springfield: Jessi Grove!!! 417 Magazine is wanting to recognize 10 women from our area who are committed to changing lives. They’re currently accepting nominations for 417 Magazine’s ”10 Most Beautiful Women Inside and Out”. Jessi pours herself into everyone who walks through the doors of CrossFit Springfield. She is whole-heartedly committed to seeing each and everyone she works with overcome their doubts and fears in order to not only succeed in the gym, but also succeed in life as well. Jessi is more than deserving of this acknowledgement! Here’s how we can make it happen:

Go to www.417mag.com before March 31st, nominate Jessi, and return to vote online on June 1st- it’s that simple…3..2..1..GO!!!

Regardless of the outcome, thanks Jess, for striving to bring the best out of us all!!! Now go eat nails and puke.

Jay Miller (pictured here with Erin Cafaro, standing to Jay’s left, who is a 2008 Beijing Olympics & Rowing World Championships Gold Medalist) added yet another credential to his already solid CrossFit coaching resume’ this past weekend by taking part in a rowing certification held at CrossFit Lincoln in Nebraska. Jay now has his CrossFit Level 1, CrossFit Kids, and CrossFit Rowing certifications. In April,  Jay will travel to Las Vegas along with Grant, Coach B, Chance, and myself for a CrossFit Football certification seminar.

Last week, Taylor and Esther Hutchens bid farewell to CFS and headed for warmer climates and sunnier days in Costa Rica! They have not, however, let their CrossFitting ways fade fast as evidenced by this photo of Taylor front squatting what seems to be one of the indigenous people’s mud DBs.

While on leave from active duty in Iraq over the holidays, Kat (pictured right) trained with us at CFS. She regularly follows our WODs from across the globe and recently sent us this picture of her making good use of her military surroundings. Stay safe, Kat and many thanks from all of us at CrossFit Springfield for your service to our country!!! 3..2..1..GO!!!
