I will be adding words here periodically that I reference that are specific to Islam or CrossFit and may not be general knowledge for those who aren’t familiar with these two communities. If you come across something you don’t know, please leave a comment and I will add it to the list.

One Fit Ramadan 
I’m so glad I found this, I’ve been out of the gym since Ramadan has started and feel so out of it. I feel so lazy and lack energy. It’s time to get fit (again i’A)!
Salaam,
This blog is a brilliant idea – a motivating read.
My wife is a dedicated member of CrossFit Montgomery County. She refused to stop working out during Ramadan and is killing her WODs just fine. I was so inspired by her that I’ve done my best to maintain the intensity as well (http://atifsworkoutlog.blogspot.com). Much of it is just a matter of mental toughness – embracing the suck.
We’re in the DC area as well, perhaps we can meet up some time and kick out a Murph or something. Keep up the great work.
Salaam,
Thanks Atif! I’ve been to CFMC before, great place! That is awesome to hear, truly amazing. Give her props from me! I love your workout log. I may steal a workout or two if you don’t mind. You’re right about the mental toughness. In a couple of the WODs I found myself starting to lose intensity by thinking “Oh I’m fasting so I should be allowed to slack”. Like you said, embrace the suck!
I’m always down for a WOD throwdown! But uhm, let’s pick something with a little less running though..haha.
