  • A pleasant Sunday with CrossFit

    Yesterday one of my CrossFit pals, Sven was nice enough to spend a few hours with me at the box to help me with some of the things I am struggling with. We invited along Lori and Kim to work on kipping pull ups, power cleans and muscle ups. Even though it was a skills…

  • Here’s to being fit!

    this is one of my most favorite people and who originally inspired and led me to try my first boot camp way back when – Melissa!!  At my friend’s baby shower yesterday, I was lucky enough to get to hang out with her! I miss getting my fitness on with her every morning — but…

  • A Gold’s Gym WOD

    We were invited over to a new couple’s home that moved into the neighborhood last night. What a fun night we had — lots of laughing, sharing stories, opinions — getting to know new people.  I love the meeting new people and getting to know them phase — it opens your mind up to new…

  • Gold’s Gym Workout

    I headed to Gold’s Gym this am. It’s a bit farther than I normally would drive for a gym but since mine is undergoing renovations — i figured what the heck. And as predicted, it was super crowded with Resoluters — which is great because maybe some of them will actually make a permanent change…

  • This is not a detour – It’s a change!

    Walking out of Gold’s gym today after a good workout I saw this: ‘When you are ready to change, you will…” I think this is so true because you really do have to think of it just like that — it’s a change, a shift in how you live — a change is not temporary.…

  • Gold’s Gym Workout

    I decided to go to Gold’s because I was just not in the mood for a run outside. I ran on Thanksgiving and just wasn’t into running solo. I haven’t been to Gold’s since probably late spring – why workout inside when the weather is beautiful and you can get outside?? Gold’s Gym in Ashburn…

  • A Sunday run is good for your health

    I have had a sinus headache for 2 days. Gotta love Fall in Northern Virginia I tell ya.  I decided that even though I didn’t feel like going for a run this morning, that I would force myself to go and maybe it would help my headache. You know what? During the run — I…

  • Play harder: can Children’s researchers quantify fun?

    It’s Sunday – which means rest day and get the house ready for back to school Monday. I felt like baking this morning, so zucchini bread is in the oven baking. I made it with whole wheat flour this time, so it will be interesting to see if my family notices. I will share the…

  • Fitting in a workout

    Here are just a few of the pics from yesterday’s Plane Pull — our team raised more than $2500 for VA Special Olympics and although we didn’t win – we did great considering we were one of the only teams comprised mainly of women. We pulled a 1200lb plane in like 8.6 seconds.  It was…

  • Should Females Train Differently Than Males?

    I had a pretty good workout yesterday. I find that after a good challenging race (ie Rare Xfit Race) that I tend to see an improvement in some areas of my workout — my cardio seemed better yesterday. But have I mentioned it’s super hot ….like Arizona Hot which is not good for the DC…
