  • Christmas Abbott: BadAss Body Diet

    This past month has been pretty stressful for me – and I’m not going to sugar coat it. My eating has gone to shit. The little excuses I have made have added up and now are full blown standard operating procedure and it’s not good.  It’s being triggered by stress and emotional stuff going on…

  • Family Bonds are Important

    Yesterday during our 200m shuttle run test – something happened around lap 7 and my ankle gave out. I knew something had happened but wasnt sure what and I kept going, finishing out the final 3 laps. When I got in the shower yesterday –  I had a black and blue mark around my ankle…

  • 50 reasons to Exercise

    Strength 5×5 Weighted Pull Ups 5# WOD 3Rounds 10 ring dips 12 Front Rack Lunges (6/side) 1 min rest — 3Rounds 10 Thrusters 12 Hand Release Push-ups time: 10:23 I make sure I deliberately do each thruster properly because of my nagging shoulder/back muscle issue.

  • Be Kind: It Can Make All the Difference

    It’s Friday and it’s going to be an amazing day. The weather is perfect, my workout is done and I have a busy weekend planned with the family. All good things which makes me really happy. I was listening to the radio this morning on the way to workout and they were talking about the…

  • How Clean Is Your Gym?

    I am taking full advantage of having this week off and going to the later HighBar CrossFit classes. Today we did a benchmark workout, Jackie. We didn’t do a lot of benchmarks that required rowing at the other gym but I am finding that rowing is super challenging to me and I like it. 1000m…

  • 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…

  • Another Day, Another …

    So, day three of my nutrition reset and I am not sure I am feeling any different – yet. We have over 70 athletes doing the reset and what is amazing is how many are trying to find loopholes.  Can I have Paleo Cookies? What about using Stevia? You mean Gum is not allowed?  Something about…

  • Coach Carl Paoli: Learn to Move so you can Move to Learn

    Yesterday, I went to a workshop about movement. “Learning to move so I can move to learn” was the theme of the day, coached by Carl Paoli of Naka Athletics out of San Francisco (one of my favorite cities). Coach Carl’s Freestyle Connection I had no real assumptions about what this workshop would be about other than knowing…

  • Blame it on the CrossFit

    I had the busiest, best weekend – Saturday, the staff at CrossFit Impavidus held a Teen CrossFit Competition. A first of its kind in the area. We hosted 30 teens from around the area to take part in a three WOD competition. It was such a great success. It was run well, the kids were…

  • CrossFit: Elizabeth

    Yesterday was such a re-inspiring day for me. Being able to be a part of the Chris4Life Colon Cancer Foundation PSA filming with Scott and the kiddos was amazing and gives us an opportunity to do our part to help more people become aware of the signs and symptoms so they can get checked. It…
