  • Today is the last day of school for the kiddos. What a crazy year this has been for us – but that’s life.  We had a bit of extra time this morning because our internet is out at the house, so I decided to walk the kids to school. Here is the pic I took…

  • Double Unders

    I realized on my way to a Girl Scout bridging ceremony how freakin tired I was yesterday. Little miss ‘Kelly’ took all the energy I had so by the end of the day, all i wanted to do is go to bed. But as fellow parents know – when you work full time during the…

  • CrossFit Girl: Kelly

    Those girls of CrossFit are Nasty.  The last time I met Kelly was in February — and for some reason today’s meeting did not go as well as our last – by 40seconds. That’s not acceptable! But holy hotdog – this WOD was tough. 5 rounds – keep moving – don’t stop – go go…

  • Thrusters make the heart grow fonder

    Scott & I had an unexpected date night last night when our neighbor babysitter said Hey I can sit tonite if you want — so we went out to a steakhouse. I had grilled chicken and a sweet potato and —   I also had some of their fresh baked bread. Not sure what the…

  • The this ‘looks’ easy WOD

    CrossFit has these workouts named after girls — yesterday’s workout at CFI was ‘Angie’. 100 pullups, 100 push ups, 100 squats, 100 situps — no scaling, no splitting them up. Just get through it — I was bummed that yesterday was a rest day. You know you are hooked when you are sad you missed…

    Vacation can’t come too soon for me — I am running on empty. Work is busy, home life is busy — I am thankful that I have CrossFit though. It really helps me with stress management and it’s a super fun way to start my day. I highly recommend it. And it’s been raining the…

  • Definitions of ‘fit’ and ‘fitness’ vary from person to person

    Definitions of ‘fit’ and ‘fitness’ vary from person to person Think hitting a fastball or catching a touchdown pass is tough? Try settling on a definition for the term “fit.” Nowthere’s a moving target. In truth, fitness is an exceedingly slippery concept, one whose meaning varies from person to person and doesn’t rest solely on…

  • Exercise does your mind & body good!

    “Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity.”   by John F. Kennedy

  • CrossFit Games Workout

    Man, I’m sore. It was almost enough to keep me in bed this morning and skip my workout — but nope, I got up and headed to CrossFit Impavidus. It was a tough workout. So many times, I will look at what the WOD is when I first walk in to the box, and say…
