  • Refocus and Refreshed

    I am still recovering from the race but feel better — and I really am so proud of myself for stepping far far out of my comfort zone and doing it. I challenge myself all the time with CrossFit but this was not only physically challenging but mentally. My brother and I talked afterwards and…

  • American Odyssey Relay Adventure

    Where shall I start to recap my two + day American Odyssey Adventure? From the top… Thursday afternoon I got all ready to go –about five minutes before I was ready to head over to the gym to meet the gang, my iPhone that was in my back pocket fell in the toilet. Full on in —…

  • Happy Birthday Baby Nate

    Today is my baby Nate’s 9th birthday. He has provided our family with lots of laughs, challenges, love, and adventure. I love him more than words can ever describe and am so thankful he’s all mine. I just love to look at him sometimes and when he is upset –no lie, my heart starts to…

  • 15th Wedding Anniversary

    15 years ago today, I was in Vegas marrying the Silver Fox. 15 years later, we have the most beautiful life together. I love you Scotty.

  • Think. Think. Think

    I went to CrossFit Endurance last night – 3 runs of 1200 meters. You know what the trick to learning this new running form? THINKING. You can’t be distracted and constantly have to be going through the points of performance — are you leaning, is your turnover fast, are you on the balls of your…

  • Busy, Busy

    It’s been a busy day — but I got my morning workout in. 10 sets of 2 split jerks — I focused on form rather than weight and got up to 115#. I’m cool with that.   Hope you are having a great day. I’m off to do CrossFit Endurance before my big American Odyssey…

  • Gearing up for the Big Race

    This is the week of my American Odyssey Race— I just reviewed my legs of the race and seems do-able. I ran 6 miles total on Saturday with some rests in between but I know I can do it with less rest –I may not be the fastest runner but I can push on! 11 which is…

  • Keep Moving On

    Just a slow uninspired day around here for me — super busy Friday work wise. Other than that – I took an extra rest day to see if it will make any difference in how I feel. My body has been really sore and I kind of feel  like I have before when I have…

  • Let Tragedy Make You Grow

    I have not been feeling myself the past few days — like I have a bug or something. I left in the middle of the workout yesterday because I was throwing up and then took a sick day from work and slept most of the day. This morning, I’m not sure how I have feel.…

  • All About Gifts and Baskets: Fruit Basket Giveaway

    Spring and Summer are here and it means most of us are eating more fruit!  I have my dehydrator going every day making my new favorite snack –dehydrated fruit. Yum. I was pretty excited to get contacted to help co-host a Fruit Basket giveaway from the fine folks at All About Gifts and Baskets. The giveaway…
