Yeah, Valentine’s isn’t a real holiday. It’s pretty lame. But ever since I became a teacher, I’ve started embracing it. I have fond memories of eating a large stash of Hershey’s kisses during a teacher inservice back in the day. I’m also a huge fan of pink, and I enjoy decorating my studio are for my students! These days, I always work late on Valentine’s Day, and then we go out for Chinese. However, this year, (I think) we’re actually going to be at CrossFit for the last Friday of our competition series!
In honor of that, I submit to you Valentines for CrossFitters…. or, more likely, for you to go out and buy for yourself!! Many are $25 and under!
Hers:
Cute barettes from Ban.do to keep her hair out of her eyes during wods! $12
Cute tote from the Push Press. $18
Hers: Socks are a MUST for CrossFit. I am especially aware of this since I rope burned almost entirely through one last night!!! They were cheap Target socks — this type usually holds up better. I was glad I didn’t ruin a pair of pants, and socks + shorts is typically the right combo in Colorado.
Yay Burpee socks from the Sox Box. $9.99
20% of every Sox Box purchase goes to the Independence Fund for wounded US military veterans.
Heart tights from Kate Spade hide bruises really well! $19.99
Dia de los Deadlifts shirt. $28
Vinylux nail polish. This stuff stays on for more like TWO weeks!! That’s 10+ wods!!! $4.95
His:
Sweet beanie from Rogue. $20 (out of stock right now, but they seem to restock often and have great alternatives.)
Kevin loves these 3-2-1 socks from Reebok. $12
A is for Airdyne!! The CrossFit Alphabet also from the Push Press. They also have sweet pillows and posters of the Girls workouts. All awesome. $26

Try bacon tea towel. $20
Eat More Bacon applique pillow. $85 (ouch)
Noticing a theme here? Bacon of the month club from Tender Belly (local). 6 months $286.80 ($11.95/lb) We LOVE this bacon.
The heritage pigs we use for our bacon are from Iowa and are naturally grown: NO antibiotics, NO hormones, NO gestation or farrowing crates, and fed a 100% vegetarian diet. With their exceptional meat to fat ratio they are the perfect belly. Our signature maple and spice rub is applied, the bellies are dry cured and then cherrywood-smoked to perfection. We spare no expense with ingredients, process or time to give you the best possible product. Remember: BACON, it’s good for ya!
Very affordable kettlebells from FringeSport… they ship free! The 35lber is $59.
Because we all need some more mobility in our lives. Becoming a Supple Leopard. $31.04
A foam roller to go with it – this is the one I have in camo, and it’s great! $37.67
Rx Smart Gear Jump Rope. $34.95
Rich Froning poster $17.95.
We love CHOMPS!!! I mean we really, really, love them. If we are out, we are very sad. 100% grassfed beef sticks! Hoppin’ Jalapeño is the best. $22
I’ve never made anything out of it, but Gather is the prettiest paleo cookbook I’ve ever seen! It’s practically a coffee table book! $25.77
A Starbucks gift card is what EVERYONE always wants, right???
