  • A challenging workout of Jerks

    Holy cow am I sore. I know I said I love being fit and SORE but this may be a bit over the top.  Note to self – doing 50m lunges for 3 rounds and then doing 200 squats over 2 days is just not the smartest approach to fitness for me. Most people skip…

  • Monday Workout at CrossFit

    Hello Monday! It was a super busy weekend and I fear that all of June will be this way. It’s good and bad — there’s a ton of events and details to coordinate for the family. I think I need my own Mom/Wife to get it all done. Warmup 25 DUs –2x 10 Squats 10…

  • Reebok CrossFit Mid-Atlantic Regionals

    I just got back from watching the CrossFit Mid-Atlantic Regionals and I am way inspired and speechless by what I saw.  Super athletes in my mind doing the same workouts I do but even faster, more efficient. I was just so in my element watching. I loved the energy in the place and watching others,…

  • CrossFit Impavidus Weekend Workout

    Memorial Day weekend is here! I headed to CrossFit Impavidus for their free weekend workout. I have said this before but I like the open community workouts because I get to see some of the people that go to CFI at other times during the week. I am a 6A girl, so I rarely get…

  • 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…

  • Minimalist Shoes

    Gear: Shoes for not-quite-barefoot running Barefoot running has become a hot fitness trend thanks to evidence that it can reduce injuries and strengthen feet. But ironically, many “barefooters” prefer to keep their feet covered. Fear of injuries from broken glass, rocks and other sharp objects inspired the invention of the “minimalist” running shoe, whose essential…

  • Community WOD

    Here is a pic of me taken this morning with my new Life as Rx’d tank on my way to CrossFit. You know what I noticed after looking at this picture? I look leaner than I have ever looked–the only change I made was going to CrossFit full time. I was not the only one…

  • After Mom’s Day Workout

    I had such a great day yesterday — the weather was perfect and stars were aligned. Scott and the kids let me sleep in — and I woke up to tulips and handmade presents, then Scott & I made a gluten free breakfast pizza together, did some shopping alone, napped, then went out for an…
