  • Take Responsibility For Where You Are

    Working out really does help with SLEEP. I got my fitness in yesterday evening and I gotta tell you, I slept so so so much better. And just feel overall better this morning. It was a tough workout too! Warmup 200m run Squats Push Ups Instep Lunges Squats WOD 5 RM Backsquat 155# Mini Rowing…

  • Stay Focused on The Problem, Not The Person

    I had trouble sleeping last night — I was all tight and uncomfortable and my mind was full of thoughts. 3A is a rough time to start thinking about all the things that are on your mind, like the topic of saying things you don’t mean because you are hurt or angry. Or saying things…

  • Break Time Wisdom

    The message in this article comes to me at the perfect time: Time for a Break? By no means am I suggesting that there always comes a time when it’s time to quit a sport or a training pursuit.  I am simply suggesting that you take time to reflect with honesty and courage on how this…

  • Burn Out and Resetting

    Here it is 1:40 in the morning and I can’t sleep. I can’t stop thinking about something that happened yesterday and how it helped clarify some of the reasons why I have been feeling so out of sorts and burnt out lately. And it also has me doing some serious thinking about where my head…

  • Snatch Balance Time

    I went and did some de-loading today. I am feeling better but still sore and just feeling meh about my training. I am trying to mix it up a bit –doing endurance and want to start doing some strength training as well and then splatter in some regular CrossFit for a while. Mix it up…

  • CrossFit Strongman Lifting Course: Saving the World’s Biceps

    I am so, so tired and sore today. Saturday I spent the day at the CrossFit Strongman Trainer’s Course from the guys at Hybrid Athletics.  I learned proper technique to lift heavy shit. This was probably the funnest trainer’s course I have been too. I have broad shoulders so I know a thing or two…

  • Stop and See!

    I have been buying flowers the past few weeks –to brighten up the house and also to help brighten up the family. I think even if you aren’t depressed or feeling low, staying connected to beauty, nature and wonder is key in staying centered and at peace. It’s all a part of self care –continuing to…

  • Refocus and Refreshed

    I am still recovering from the race but feel better — and I really am so proud of myself for stepping far far out of my comfort zone and doing it. I challenge myself all the time with CrossFit but this was not only physically challenging but mentally. My brother and I talked afterwards and…

  • Think. Think. Think

    I went to CrossFit Endurance last night – 3 runs of 1200 meters. You know what the trick to learning this new running form? THINKING. You can’t be distracted and constantly have to be going through the points of performance — are you leaning, is your turnover fast, are you on the balls of your…

  • Busy, Busy

    It’s been a busy day — but I got my morning workout in. 10 sets of 2 split jerks — I focused on form rather than weight and got up to 115#. I’m cool with that.   Hope you are having a great day. I’m off to do CrossFit Endurance before my big American Odyssey…
