SouthSide Johnny's Running Club
Wednesdays, 6 p.m.Sports & Recreation
Meet CrossFit: "Workouts comprised of constantly varied functional movements (like pushing, pulling, squatting, lifting, running) executed at high intensity," says CrossFit SoCo's website. Watch CrossFit run at SouthSide Johnny's (528 S. Tejon St., crossfitsoco.com), where crazed athletic-types meet to traverse a roughly three-mile route — hitting America the Beautiful Park, Fountain Creek and CrossFit SoCo's main location on West Las Vegas Street — then back up South Tejon for grub and drink specials, as official members of the new, hybrid SouthSide Johnny's Running Club. See CrossFit at 6 tonight, and find it every Wednesday night thereafter, running — run CrossFit, run. — Bryce Crawford
