FLASH MOB WOD

Are you familiar with Flash Mobs?  A flash mob (or flashmob) is a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and pointless act for a brief time, then disperse.  Flash mobs are organized via telecommunications, social media, or viral emails.  There have been quite a few in our area recently (last spring some 700 high school kids mobbed South Street).  These Flash Mobs are the ultimate mindf*ck, confusing all those who are not 'in' on the joke.

Are you familiar with Flash WODs?  It's the combination of Flash Mob, where people meet up in groups for an activity through the use of current technological devices: cell phones, FaceBook and Twitter, and the WOD, or Workout of the Day, which is popular in our CrossFit world.

June 10th?  CF5S Flash WOD?

Breakfast:  4 block fruit salad.  Blueberries, apple, half-n-half.

Creating S.M.A.R.T. Goals

SMART is a mnemonic used in project management at the project objective setting stage. It is a way of evaluating the objectives or goals for an individual project.  We, as CrossFitters, know SMART and apply it when defining our athletic goals.

Below is a breakdown of the acronym followed by a realistic example.

Letter	Major Term
S	Specific
M	Measurable
A	Attainable
R	Relevant
T	Time-bound

And now a reasonable goal to apply to the SMART ideology:
"I want to see Timon and Pumbaa from Lion King kickin' it in real life."

Letter	Major Term	Output
S	Specific	I want to see Timon and Pumbaa from Lion King kickin' it in real life.
M	Measurable	I will know they are friends in real life when I have proof of them kickin' it.
A	Attainable	Does a meerkat / warthog duo poo in the woods?
R	Relevant	"Hakuna Matata" is the axiom of an entire generation.
T	Time-bound	This goal must be achieved immediately.
