  • Deadlifts and Double Unders – Oh my!

    I am one sore lady this AM. Not over sore, where I can’t move but I can definitely feel the workouts this week. It feels good tho. The good mornings we did on Tues are still reminding my hamstrings who is boss! I’m not sure if I mentioned but this weekend, I am going to…

  • 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…

  • CrossFit WOD: Cindy

    I went a little blonde crazy yesterday. I have been too busy (aka lazy) to get my hair done lately but finally bit the bullet and took care of it yesterday evening.  While I was there, my stylist was telling me her brother in law is a war veteran and loves CrossFit. One thing she…

  • Double Unders & Sit Ups – Yeah, that’s the WOD

    By 1p yesterday, I was wiped out. The Fran workout yesterday may be a quick one – but it takes you down. There have been a few WODs recently that totally wiped me out and by mid day, all i wanted to do was crawl into bed. For today’s skill we worked on gymnastics and…

  • Fran WOD

    It was a super busy weekend — Half the family went to the Joint Services Air Show and Hannah and I went to the Reston Arts Fair — and then we had laser tag parties, CrossFit, CrossFit Kids — laundry, cleaning, errands — no down time at all this weekend. I’m going to share some…

  • Thrusters here we come —

    Happy 7th Birthday to my crazy, funny, quirky son Nate Dogg!  He has kept things in our lives super interesting and his personality has shown from day 1.   This week has been a series of very hard, challenging but great WODs at CrossFit Impavidus. There have been a bunch of skills thrust upon me…

  • Climbing up the rope

    Today was another good day at CrossFit Impavidus. We had rope climbs during the WOD and I finally got up that rope using the scissor grip. That is SUCCESS! I have been challenged by that rope for a long time and once again, its all technique! And I got halfway up the ROPE!! YAHOOOOOOO! Warmupx2…

  • Mother Nature switches it Up: Evening Workout for me

    I just got back from the 630P CrossFit Impavidus workout because of the weather this morning. I don’t like working out in the evening — my mind can’t seem to wrap its head around the whole concept of the workout and what we are learning and what we are supposed to do.  It just seems…

  • Well hello, Fran!:Crossfit WOD

    Today I met Fran. For those familiar with Crossfit, Fran is a benchmark WOD. Long time Crossfitters all know their “fran” time. Fran: 21-15-9 65lb Thrusters Pull ups (green band assisted) Fran time: 6:35 Some caveats to my time: For some reason I had it in my head to power clean every rep in the…

  • Lordy, Lordy I am 40

    Yes its true. Today is my birthday — my fortieth birthday to be exact. When I was a kid 40 seemed so old — now that I am that age, doesn’t really add up. I don’t feel old and I have been told I don’t look old — so overall if this is what 40…
