Ohmygod.
My write-up (and picture!) is on the front page of today's CrossFit Journal.
Tony Budding sent me a note (at the recommendation of Lynne Pitts - thanks so much, Lynne!) to see if I'd do an article on my picks for "Best of CrossFit.com" for 2008. My choices were easy - I just went through my saved bookmarks, Journal articles and blog notes to find five pieces of writing, video and pictures that had inspired me throughout the year.
If you don't already subscribe to the Journal, now is the perfect time to sign up. My article alone is worth the $25. Plus, the Journal publishes daily, and all past articles and videos are available for download. Skip three Starbucks lattes this month and it's paid for itself. Plus I guarantee something you read or watch will add 10# to one of your lifts.
Happy 2009!
(Note: I asked Tony to change the "About Me" section - it's a misquote. It is not MY affiliate... I'm hoping to teach some KBs at Samy Daghir's new CrossFit NH box, which is now officially open!)

The hard routine article is my favorite. I've read that one several times.. Even picked up the book that was referenced.
Great job!
Awesome picks, Melissa. It's good to see you get the very first column of the New Year in the CFJ. Let us know when we can expect more from you. Just let us know, even on the Message Boards, when the next one is coming up.
Just popped in as a result of your Journal article. Love the blog here. Your personality shines through!
Here's to impacting many more lives in 2009!
Great work!
Great article and terrific list of favorites too. I somehow missed the "Maggie" video, and thank you for including it --
Melissa,
Congrats on your being a CF New Year's poster girl! You rock, as always! Here's to more great things for 2009! Best wishes to you and yours!
Nice work Byers! I think this means you're officially 'CrossFamous'!
Take care of that mono, I want to hear about some DL PRs soon.
Totally sweet.
Uh Oh, does this mean you're officially in the cult?
Great article Melissa. I always enjoy hearing why other people Crossfit and those are some great picks.
Be careful when training with your Mono and if you're ever in Fishkill you should definitely stop by.

Nice way to start out '09!!
Just downloaded, can't wait to read. I'm sure it's just as comprehensive and well-thought out as all of your posts.

Very cool! Now I can I say that I corresponded with Melissa Byers before she was famous! It won't be long and you will be the trainer in the video.
Yeah, like Dawn said, can I claim to know you before you were an official CF.com firebreather? HAHA!
Seriously though, you deserve the notoriety, even though I presume you do not seek it out! Nice job.
Woo hoo!
I am so glad you have a Crossfit NH to workout at! will you bring your new gym bf with you?
