  • Can We all Be Kind: Practicing Kindness

    It’s Friday – Friday – Friday! Can you tell how happy I am this week is over? It’s busy season at my job, so people’s stress levels are high, tempers are short and we all have too much to do. I am lucky that I genuinely like what I do because it really does make…

  • CrossFit: Seeing Progress

    I was so busy yesterday I forgot to post! It was my rest day so nothing fitness related happened except — I rested like it was my job!  I am going on vacation the middle of next week and I really need it! I need some sun, relaxation and rest. I thought this article was…

  • Re-Focus and Remind

    Have you ever done Plate Drills? OMG they are brutal and were part of today’s WOD. Highbar adds in some Isometric work in addition to the traditional and I love it. Well, I don’t love it when I am in the middle of doing them but the results show. I recently found out two women…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Tricks of the Trade

    I forgot to set my alarm last night, woke up this AM and was thinking – it’s awfully light outside, looked over and saw it was 7A. Well there went my one opportunity to get a workout in today. My friend Britt is moving to North Carolina and tonight is her going away get together.…
