Top 5 Passage-of-Time Discrepancies Related to Crossfit

Health and fitness, Lists, Observations
I think I may actually be a science genius. I make this bold statement because I've taken notice of a strange discrepancy in the natural laws of time and space.  There are some activities in life, I've deciphered using scientific method,…

First ‘Unbroken’ trailer has me FREAKED OUT, period.

Faith, Observations
This is more of a heads-up than a real blog.   In perusing Facebook as a defense mechanism to "The Bachelor," to which my wife and daughter are hopelessly addicted and currently watching on DVR, I just ran across this, the first trailer…

Burpees or back surgery: you decide!

Health and fitness
My back hurts. As I write this, I'm shifting around in my office chair to find a comfortable position, because couple of hours ago, I completed a Crossfit WOD (workout of the day) that involved a bunch of deadlifts.  It's funny that…

Crossfit and aging: The value is in the TRYING

Health and fitness, Observations
On August 27 of 2013, I wrote a satirical blog called “Top 12 Reasons Why This 47-year-old HATES Crossfit.”  It wasn't any big statement, but just an attempt to crack up my wife, which is the goal of the majority of my writing.  As…

Top 9 reasons why I should be the ‘Face of Crossfit’ instead of Rich Froning

Health and fitness, Lists, Observations, Writing
So Froning is essentially the “Face of Crossfit." The Reebok/Crossfit people must be living charmed lives, because Froning is handsome, articulate, funny, and by all accounts, a very nice guy. However, I’ve given this some serious thought, and I’ve come to the conclusion that I, Mark Johnson, would be a better “Face of Crossfit" than Mr. Froning. Here are the top 9 reasons why.

My Top 6 Driving Idiots

Lists, Observations
The older I get, the more I realize that my own thoughts and experiences aren't as unique as I once believed.  In fact, I've decided that most everybody thinks pretty much the same thoughts.  All day long we're thinking the same stuff while we each think we're thinking different stuff.  Know what I mean? With that in mind, I wondered if you have some of the same driving pet peeves as me.  I bet you do.  I know this because I suspect you're like me — a considerate driver whose goal is to navigate the human legion of ignoramuses each morning and evening without making a trip to the body shop or hospital.  So in ascending order of malfeasance, here's my list of the Top 6 Driving Idiots.

Top 12 reasons why this 47-year-old HATES Crossfit

Health and fitness, Lists
After nearly three years in, I have a love/hate relationship with Crossfit. It's mostly hate. The majority of my 47 years were blissfully Crossfit-free, and I lived out my days happy and free of the dread associated with upcoming workouts and the soreness associated with past workouts.  It was all good.  (Except for the whole fat, weak, undisciplined, out-of-shape, crappy-quality-of-life part of it.)
