NOT FOR TIME: So what did you think about not having the clock for our workouts last week? Liked it? Hated? No difference? Would you be ok with doing this once in a while? Maybe one WOD a week? Post your opinions to comments.

"ROSA" - We are doing a workout in memory of my Mom, Rosa Maria Olalde, who passed away almost 2 years ago of Leukemia. We plan to do her WOD on or around her birthday every year. November 2012 was a tough month for me and my family. It required me not be around the gym a lot and Liliana to take on most of the gym hours for me. It was great and comforting to know that you members that were around at the time were very supportive and helped where you could. Meant a lot to us. Thank You.

I love the no time clock. A bad habit of mind is being competitive and when I hear that clock countdown I want to finish as fast as I can, but also keeping my form, however, my form isn't always the best especially by the last rep. Without the time I slowed my pace down and focus on each rep more. I would love to do it every once in awhile.

I am soo sorry to have missed Rosa but look forward to completing her WOD Thursday.

As far as the no clock week, I absolutely loved it. Its nice to step back and focus on the fun and simple satisfaction of completion sometimes.

It was nice to push myself on weights and concentrate on form without the pressure of anything breathing down my back. And, I gladly welcome back this practice anytime :-)
