  • The Right Road

    We all want progress, but if you’re on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive.-C. S. Lewis I love Highbar CrossFit. Great coaching combined with working out with friends makes getting up in the morning…

  • It’s not just about Positive Thoughts

      I love a good quote! It’s a rest day for me and it’s hotter than Hades outside. Not a lot to say today – my day job has me busy this week.

  • Right Around The Corner

    I had such a good morning of training with the guys at Highbar. It’s a new week as I mentioned, so we are working on different skills and today was the clean. And guess what? I actually identified something that is going to help me improve my overall clean thanks to Coach Dan. It was…

  • Strength is the Focus

    It was a busy weekend full of CrossFit WODs!  Saturday morning- I worked on my pull ups and ended with a WOD that one could call brutal, and then Sunday – HighBar CrossFit was scheduled to have a photographer come to take some shots for their website and unfortunately they had an emergency and couldn’t…

  • The Scale Is Not a Definition Of Your Worth

    My friend Will from CFI came to do a workout with me this morning. It meant so much to me that he took the time to come to hang out with me. I have met the most amazing people through CrossFit. It’s one of the best things about it all — I feel great and…

  • Quieting The Mind

    Today’s workout was tough — I knew I was going to have a hard time as soon as I walked in. I realized my energy wasn’t where it needed to be this morning. I have finished Day Three of my refocus/detox and my body is mad at me. I also had a ton of stuff…

  • Rest Days

    “I constantly remind myself that resting takes confidence. Anyone can train like a mad man but to embrace rest and to allow all the hard training to come out takes mental strength.” –Ryan Hall

  • Open Your Mind about The Ideal

    Sunday morning, as I was doing my regular grocery shopping I saw Camille Leblanc-Bazinet on the cover of Oxygen Magazine in the check out line. I was so proud to see her mainstream. As I was paying for my stuff, I noticed a woman picking it up and showing her husband –I overheard her say Oh, that’s…

  • CrossFit For Hope – National Mall 2013

    I had so much fun this weekend at CrossFit for Hope. It was a great cause and was worth having work out in the blazing heat, mid-morning in the middle of the National Mall. I didn’t do like amazing well at the brutal workout, but that wasn’t what it was about for me. I just…

  • A Quality food challenge

    Quality food challenge from http://lift-run-bang.com Make a list of foods you will allow yourself to eat. They should all be quality foods. I don’t care what “diet” you choose, just pick quality foods. I think we all know that fast food and processed shit isn’t quality, before all the comedians weigh in.  Everyday, you’re allowed to…
