Today was one of those days when you just get the rhythm of a particular exercise and you kick ass doing it. Normally I’m not a super efficient runner nor a fast one — but I felt my stride when we did our 800m warm up this morning and it carried through the WOD as…

Does having children make you happy?
Does having children make you happy? Such an interesting discussion. I know lots of people with no kids who are happy, and those will kids who are happy. I guess it all depends on how you define Happy. Nearly one in five American women now ends her childbearing years without having a child, compared with…

Venus with Biceps
I saw a new book review that got my attention: Venus with Biceps: A Pictorial History of Muscular Women It definitely has not traditionally been the look of the ideal woman – strong, muscular woman. I do think the tides are turning or at least in the circles I hang out in …. CrossFit woman…

Trying CrossFit Kids for the First Time
Today I took my daughter and a friend to one of the CrossFit Kids classes that CrossFit Impavidus held to start prepping for the summer session. They had opened it up to all members’ kids, so why not tire my kids out on a Sunday morning. I had read about what CF Kids was all…
