  • A Responsibility To Protect

    Here’s a pic of my baby – I realize he’s no longer a baby but that’s what I see when I look into his green eyes. He will always be my Baby Nate. With HB gone this week —  this guy has been a dream this week. It’s interesting to see how siblings relate to…

  • 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…

  • 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…
