  • I Love You More Than Burpees

    I seriously feel like I could sleep for days. When I got home yesterday – I took an 1.5 hour nap, got up for a bit and went to bed at 9p. It was super hard to get up this morning and for a brief moment, I thought about hitting snooze. Heck I did hit…

  • Crab Walking

    I could not stop eating yesterday –and not in a good way. I think it’s the week before that time of the month and all hell breaks loose in my body. It’s so odd because it’s like my mind totally loses any control and all rational thinking about nutrition goes out the window. It was…

  • Renew, Rejuvenate and Change

    For the last two weeks, NPR host Scott Simon has been sharing the story of his dying mother, who passed away last night. From the moment he learned of her illness two weeks ago to her passing, he showed us Twitter at its most compassionate, loving and human.

  • Celebrate and Recognize – Living Beyond Cancer

    It was such a great day yesterday — so much to smile about. I heard from a ton of people from my past and present, all joining in to recognize how big of a day it was for our family. Yesterday, HB said now we can leave cancer behind us because Dad is cancer free.…

  • The 2013 CrossFit Games are Here! Huzzah!

    I did end up getting in a workout yesterday and it was a good one. The weather yesterday was amazing –high of 80 which made working out easier on the ole lungs for sure! It was a longer WOD with some mobility at the end — 8-1-8 – a ladder, so you go up down…

  • Always Something To Work On

    I am just totally feeling like I am back in love with CrossFit again. I’m learning from coaches who have spent years and years learning how to lift themselves and coach and it makes all the difference. What I felt for a long time was that because I was more than a beginner and an…

  • Working the Rhomboids

    This morning we worked on Front Squats –and it became clear that I needed to really roll out my Quads if I was going to be able to keep my chest high without pushing my hips back – once I rolled them out –which was super painful, I was able to do it. Gotta warm…

  • Step Up and Be Better

    I came across this post from CrossFit yesterday: I’m sitting in a Mexican restaurant that, one year ago, was packed and thriving at lunch. Now? Ghost town. What changed? Nothing … and that’s the problem. A new, similar restaurant moved into town. A little more expensive, but cleaner, and with better service and better food.…

  • 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…

  • 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…
