  • Needing to Move

    I’m baaaackk!!! It was a good few day break away from my busy life. I love my life and all that I have going on, but sometimes it all gets to be so much that stepping away to just disconnect does so much good. We had no responsibilities, no kids — and could just take…

  • Unplug

    I just got back from a few days at the beach, alone with Scott. No kids, no snacks having to be brought along in my purse — naps, drinks, dancing. It was a good break — 

  • CrossFit Games: Key Takeaway

    Having CrossFit Games fever all weekend really helped push me during my workout this morning. It really is awesome to be a part of this type of community. I am thankful every day for what it has enabled me to do – physically and mentally. There was a lot of talk this morning about the…

  • It’s a Wrap: CrossFit Games 2012

    Oh CrossFit Games how you inspire me! You are what makes CrossFit awesome and special. The displays of team work, hard work and spirit are beyond compare. These are people just like you and me who work their butts off to be the fittest they can be. And out of the gyms, they are some…

  • Chippin Away

    Scott and I did a WOD together yesterday evening. Death by 10M and then Tabata sit ups. Yeah so not fun but so necessary. I did a special workout this AM — for coaches that was called a chipper. You keep chippin away at it until you are done — “Chipperson“: 10 GI Janes 20…

  • Team Player: Rah Rah

    Did I really forget to post yesterday? My life has gotten so busy this week that I even my sister Dee mentioned it and how I am getting overextended like my Mom is famous for doing! Now that’s not necessarily a compliment!! With the CrossFit Games going on, a lot of our coaches are out…

  • Master What You Suck At

    This morning I didn’t want to go to CrossFit. I am being honest – I was tired, sore from the heavy lifts I have done this week and to top it off – TMI alert – it’s that time of the month. I started talking to myself saying “it’s ok to go back to bed.…

  • CrossFit Games 2012

    So as I sit here and think about how sore I am after the past few days of working out doing my CrossFit thing, I almost feel guilty. I feel this way because I know what the CrossFit Games athletes are having to do today — Castro explained the first event of the 2012 Reebok…

  • Deadlift warmups

    Yesterday was Deadlift day and not only did I work out in the AM — I coached in the evening. Needless to say it was a long day for me but when you love what you do — it was fun all the way. I came across this site that really helped me learn some…

  • Deadlifting the Day Away

    we did more deadlifts today. As much as I love my deadliftin’, it’s hard to do more when you just hit your PR on Sunday. I’m not complaining; I love deadlifts and I get to see my buds. It is seriously one of the best parts of my day. Warmup 1 lap jog Drills (bear…
