Happy Birthday Jason!! Thanks for all that you do to support us. You are a great coach and friend. Have an awesome day.
Happy Birthday Kristen!! Hope you have a great one!
Happy Birthday Kristen and coach Jason!!
Happy Birthday Jason! You're an inspiration to all of us! I hope you enjoy your day and have a fantastic weekend!
Happy Birthday Kristen!!!! Have a slice of cake and ice cream too!
Happy Birthday KSB- Its always so great to talk to and spend time with you. Hope you have an excellent day!!
Happy birthday Coach Jason. If I could run for office, i'd run for president of your fan club. I love watching you encourage athletes, wether its when they are new and you cheer for them just getting through the WOD, excited as they are to have survived it. or whether its a year into their training and you are giving them a hard time (perhaps about squat depth :-) expecting nothing less then their fullest commitment, believing that they can reach their highest potential. You don't often give out perfect 10's,and for that i am thankful. I have learned the most from the people i have known, who like you say, "you may be good, or better than you used to be, but there is always room for growth- and i want to see more!"
Your a class act, even when your talking about nipples and pinching loafs. Cheers to wall squats and critisim sandwiches. Glad you finaly let that muscle up out! hope your day is awesome.
Back when this was posted on Aug. 2, 2007, here are some times by the CF legends:
Robb Wolf - 19:08
Freddy C. - 18:44
OPT - 15:10
Spealler - 10:27 (what the...)
Jason, what a great birthday present to get your muscle ups! No one can beat your enthusiasm for CF and constantly searching for ways to improve yourself. And no one can beat your endurance pee. Yeah, I said that. Happy birthday!
KSB, your ability and strength have grown significantly over your CF tenure and I only see it going up. You always bring a smile to the gym and effort to the wod. Happy birthday!
Happy birthday Jason and Kristen!!!!Have a great day and enjoy your weekend!!!!
Two people I love dearly! Happy Birthday Jason & KSB!
Happy Birthday coach Jason and Kristin S.!!!
Jason,
Happy Birthday! I learn something new every time you coach. Your pursuit of excellence inspires me to try harder.
JNa
happy birthday to KBS, and NYAHHHHHHHHHHHHH to Jaaaason! i hope both of you are spoiled rotten today :)
Happy birthday Jason and "KSB" :-) You guys are the best! Have a great day!!!!
Happy Birthday Jason!
If I didnt know any better, I would say those Dos Equis commercials were about you:
"He is the life of parties he never attended."
"He once had an awkward moment, just to see how it feels."
"He's won trophies for his game face alone."
"His words carry weight that would break a less interesting man's jaw."
"If he were to punch you in the face, you would have to fight off the resisting urge to thank him".
"His mother has a tattoo that reads 'son'".
"At museums he is allowed to touch the art."
"Sharks have a week dedicated to him."
"He can speak French, in Russian."
"He bowls overhand"
And finally, if Steph is the President...i am the Vice President of your fan club. Have a great bday!
Happy Birthday Jason....I will be watching you
Even though I have not met you yet, Happy Birthday.
Happy Birthday Jason....all I will say is THANKS
Happy Birthday and wish you many more!
Happy Birthday Jason and Kristen!! The two of you are absolutely amazing. You inspire everyone around you and encourage us all to go the extra mile when we think we have nothing left. Kudos to you both for another great year!
Happy birthday guys. Keep on keepin' on.
Happy Birthday Jason and Kristen!
Happy birthday Jason! So happy to have you as my coach and my friend!

Happy Birthday, Jason!
Just for you since it's your day, I will make sure I am on time to class today - maybe I will even show up early! :)
I love your insanely sarcastic personality and your great coaching style!
Have a great day!
Happy Birthday Jason and Kristen! I agree with everyone else...Jason you are an amazing coach and thanks for all you do...and Kristen you are truly one of the sweetest people ever! Hope you both have a great day!
Happy birthday!!
Happy Birthday Jason - thanks for being a great coach, always motivating and trying to make each of us do our best. I'm happy you got a muscle up for your birthday too.
Happy Birthday KSB - it's been great watching you improve, keep at it girl and have a great birthday.
How often is it 90 degrees on your birthday huh, get outside and get some vitamin D :)
Happy birthday Kristen. It is fantastic to watch you grow. You are amazing and an inspiration. You have the best triple extension I've ever seen!
Happy Birthday Jason. Thanks for being the form police. Without you we would all be cheating. You and Aimee make a great team even if she doesn't realize how wrong she is.
That was me above.
Dorothy
Happy Birthday, Even though you keep telling everyone how unimportant I am! Don't listen to him, chase me bitches!
Happy Birthday Kristin SB! Have a great day and keep smiling.
Jason - enjoy your day! Thank you for believing in me even when I dont and for taking the time to push me to go harder and heavier and faster than I think I can. You walk to walk and talk the talk.
Agree with Laura - go get some sunshine!! :)
First off, Happy Birthday to KSB. You are only the second person I have met that shares our day so good on you. You have made so much progress since entering our doors and it is an honor to watch.
To everyone else, wow. I am humbled, thank you so much. I do what I do because it is rewarding and fun. You have no idea how important each of you are to my success so it is only right that I devote myself to yours. With each push-up or pull-up, you fight back against those that once said you cannot and feed my desire to continue. Thanks again...so much.
Happy Birthday Jason! I do really appreciate you getting on my case about my squat depth! What doesn't kill you will only make you stronger...
Happpy Birthday Kristen!
all these new bloggers coming out on Jason's birthday, this is grand!
or at least new blogger identities! CrossFit Schizo? I would say it isn't me, but then again, I wouldn't know
OMG - I lOVE the people at our box.
LMFAO - Rx, 6am WOD and esp what Danny said about the Dos Equis commerical. I am crying from laughter -
Anyone want to discuss how disgustly hard this workout is and how redonkulous is it that Speal can finish it is 10 minutes. What world is he from, like honestly.
Anyway, I get out early today so yippie for me. 50 comments. I am pretty sure we broke a record today. I feel loved.
Happy Birthday Jason! I really appreciate your great coaching, especially your ability to identify opportunities for improvement with form, efficiency, and (yes) maintaining intensity. Have a great, long birthday weekend!
@Jason- after doing this it becomes more evident that Spealler is just that: Trancendent
Jason: So glad you finally popped my cherry, just in time for your birthday. Happy birthday, baby.
Jason,
If there were more of me, we would sing of your day in 4 or even 6-part harmony. As it is, a duet seems somehow insufficient.
Sincerely,
Hekyll & Jekyll
Happy Birthday Jason! Almost half way til we see each other again..
happy bithday dude! Nobody loves me more than you do (even though you try to break up with me from time to time!
Yeah, you wish!
Comment board WOD: Rx - hit 100 funny posts for time, no scaling.

Jason, happy birthday man. You always seem to be singing my praises so now it's my turn to sing yours. Thanks man for increasing my popularity. So many people at the box now seem to know who I am - Hell yeah!
Jason: thanks for remembering us in your WOD discussions. We love you too.
Happy Birthday Jason and Kristen. Hope you had a great day.
Howard
Jason, thanks for coming to 115 of our shows and carrying our gym bag around. Although we see this on the "more than obsessive" end of our fan group, we're happy to have you. The next song we play will be "Happy Birthday" just for you.
I know I'm late to the party and have nothing particularly profound or funny to add, but I want to make sure that both Jason and Kristen know how much I love and appreciate them, and am inspired by them.
Hope you two had great birthdays!
