365 Day Challenge (Day 6): This blog is taken over by sports

Bank of America Stadium
Home of the Carolina Panthers!
Many of my friends know, I love watching a sporting event.  Specifically American football.  Even as we speak, I am watching the BCS Championship. (BCS = Bowl Championship Series)  For 2014, #1 Florida State University (FSU) is playing against #2 Auburn University.  So far, it has been a fun game to watch, with Auburn leading most of the way.  This game marks the last game of the college football season.  Until August!

Today was a great night to try something new: cross-fit!  Talk about jacked up P90X!  Yes, not only do I watch sporting events, I like to try new sporting activities.  As you see, I was once a decent athlete as a swimmer in high school, competing in swim meets.  College puts a damper onto my activities (except for ultimate Frisbee every week) but picked up exercising again after coming back to the Charlotte area, joining gyms, taking classes (power fitness, step classes, zumba, hip-hop), having trainers, and last year, took up jogging.  

Cross-fit was a little crazy but I made it through my first workout.  I did my first official burpees, a bunch of dead lifts, sit-ups, ball-slams, push-ups.  Now, should I join or not???
