  • Bacon Wrapped Sweet Potato Fries

    During our workout today, I ran into some tall guy and hit my nose right on his chest bone. Talk about seeing stars! We both hit at full force and I was the casualty. It’s tender and bruised and if it keeps up, I will see the doc. We did a team workout — 100…

  • Well hello, Fran!:Crossfit WOD

Sometimes you should ignore the  voice, but other times – you should listen.  Today was one of those days when I should have listened.   I just wasn’t feeling…

  • Woe is I

    Oh how I wish I could do yesterday over. Back pain is bad and the meds the doctor gave me knock me out — so in between sleeping, I have been getting up to walk around so I don’t stiffen up. Needless to say, I did not workout this morning. I am hoping a rest…
