Live Fit and Sore

  • 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…

  • Keep Moving On

    Just a slow uninspired day around here for me — super busy Friday work wise. Other than that – I took an extra rest day to see if it will make any difference in how I feel. My body has been really sore and I kind of feel  like I have before when I have…

  • CrossFit Olympic Lifting Trainer’s Course

    I spent the weekend at the CrossFit Olympic Lifting Trainer’s Course learning how to instruct others on oly lifting technique. I attended this workshop to improve my own lifting as much as I wanted to learn how to help others.  It’s amazing how much technique is involved — and body awareness. So many of us…

  • Body Awareness is Key

    Yesterday was a good day in many ways — Had some great workouts and some productive hours at my day job! I have been switching up my workout schedule a bit — since committing to the CrossFit Endurance program in preparation for the American Odyssey Relay coming up in a few weeks. Last night I…

  • Seeing Crystal Clearly

    It must be the spring weather and the extra sunlight but I am feeling better and more optimistic —and seeing things clearer. Or at least that’s how I feel today.  And I am feeling more empowered to take charge and control of certain aspects of my life that are out of whack. I feel good…

  • Your Weight Doesn’t Tell Half the Story

    I updated a post that I had previously written for the 30 day reset and shared it out today about ditching the scales and focusing on the task at hand –which is health and wellness. We are not defined by a number on the scale and we should not be controlled by it. The real questions…

  • Change Doesn’t Happen Overnight

    What makes me so crazy in the head that a day off sounds unreasonable at times?  And the crazier thing is I am not alone – something about the CrossFit formula gets inside the heads of the many athletes and we become programmed this way. Although I do have to say that as a general…

  • Listen to the signals!

    So another crazy busy weekend for my household that included coaching some great athletes Saturday morning at CrossFit Impavidus, then getting ready to host my daughter’s laser tag birthday party with 13+ tween girls, then a night out with some fellow nutrition challengers to let off some steam. That was just Saturday! Sunday morning off…

  • 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…

  • Getting Back On The Horse

    I’m back and I wish I could say I felt refreshed and raring to go this Monday –but I don’t.  The last few weeks I have felt seriously run down and all I have wanted to do is stay under the covers in my bed and sleep.  I honestly don’t think I have felt this…
