  • Murph: Honoring a Hero

    I hope everyone spent yesterday’s holiday the way they wanted! And took time to remember those that gave the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we have. After all, that’s what the holiday is all about. Many folks in the CrossFit community do a workout entitled “Murph“, to honor Murph” – Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, who was killed in Afghanistan…

  • Take Care of your Health Now!

    Last night, we did our annual pumpkin carving as a family around the kitchen table for Halloween. It’s so funny to see the different personalities that come through as we create our masterpieces. This year I decided to do a CrossFit theme – and created a Strict Shoulder Press image! I think it came out…

  • Icing on Top of my Training

    This has been a really good training week for sure. PR’s with each lift, today being no exception. I am really learning the art of resting between sets too. Coach Randy is adamant about it and it really does make a difference. It’s such a different approach to lifting for me than in the past…

  • Improving Posture: Work your Serratus Anterior

    I hit another PR this morning on my bench press. I did 115# for 3 reps before deciding to increase my load. I completed 5 reps at 120# and even then I didn’t fail but Coach Randy said yeah, you are done for today. One of the things that’s hard for me to gauge is…

  • 31 Heroes Over the Weekend

    31 Heroes workout is in the books – it was a tough workout even with a partner. Noble CrossFit paired me up with a nice young girl named Rebecca and we did our best with 75# thrusters, rope climbs, 25+/- sand bag runs and 24′ box jumps. This was the first time I ever climbed…

  • Gearing up for the Big Race

    This is the week of my American Odyssey Race— I just reviewed my legs of the race and seems do-able. I ran 6 miles total on Saturday with some rests in between but I know I can do it with less rest –I may not be the fastest runner but I can push on! 11 which is…

  • The Progress We Make

    Focus To Get Your Diet Back on Track Happy Monday! Every weekend seems busier than the previous –but all in good ways.  Working out, of course was on the docket but I also watched the team CrossFit Affiliate League competition at CrossFit Impavidus on Saturday. The kiddos came with us but of course had the…

  • Klout Perk: Sony Action Cam

    So I have to share something super cool that happened this week. As most everyone knows — I do social media marketing for a living as well as my passion. I love both sides of it –figuring out ways to use it market to certain demographics and then the flip side, to inspire and support…

  • Renew, Reflect and Refresh!

    I almost took the morning off but I realized that I may not get to workout tomorrow and will be heading off on a biz trip on Monday so I wanted to make sure to get one in.  I hit the snooze but got up before it went off again. And to ever prove my…

  • Oktoberfest at CrossFit Impavidus

    Filthy Fifty I went out with some of my friends last night and had a blast. They were full of energy, positivity and fun. We did a lot of laughing, a lot of dancing and for some –drinking.  I knew that today would be a tough day physically for me, so I didn’t drink but to…
