What is Mojo Kickball™? Put simply, Mojo Kickball™ is multi-ball kickball with elements of dodgeball, tag, and even a little touch football mixed in. But it's so much more than that. It fills a void in recreational sports that has existed for a long long time, for adults and children alike. What's so great about Mojo Kickball™? Everyone is playing, all the time. There's no waiting in line for your turn. Well there is. But not for very long. And even when you're in the line, you can jump out temporarily and do things to help your team out. And "Mayhem" is officially part of the rules. I'm guessing the after-beer is a lot of fun. I'm guessing the after-beer starts early.

The bulk of it is a letter from a Navy SEAL who eats PaNu and trains CrossFit. He compares his results on the PaNu diet to his previous results on Zone. Fran time dropped dramatically. It also emphasizes the consumption of animal fats and saturated fats from coconut oil vs processed oils from seeds and nuts, which is a slight variation from Paleo.

Ever since Randy posted the link to the PaNu blog in one of the WOD blurbs a while back, I've been reading it pretty frequently. I like a lot of what it has to say. It follows the Paleo that CrossFit preaches pretty closely, however, it allows for some starches (occasional white rice and potatoes) and believes that occasional dates with dairy are also ok. The most interesting arguments, in my opinion, are the ones citing studies that suggest that saturated fat is not as bad for you as health "experts" would have you believe. Sounds crazy, but some of the arguments made are really intriguing. But I digress. This "BUZZ" is intended to debate the benefits (risks?) of running. This site offers two studies - one completed just recently that hasn't even been published yet (presented at the American College of Cardiology) - that imply that running long distances with frequency (study compares annual marathoners to sedentary people) actually INCREASES your risk for developing coronary heart disease. It's really quite fascinating. http://www.paleonu.com/panu-weblog/2010/3/21/still-not-born-to-run.html Obviously this doesn't mean that jogging around Wash Park once a week is going to land you on death row, but it does lend to the CrossFit creed of what essentially amounts to "sprint" workouts - high intensity over a relatively short period of time. All thoughts and comments are welcome!
