Work and Commitment
When I heard the alarm this AM, I hit snooze and decided “today, is a rest day”. I am entitled to it and I am tired. Don’t fool yourself into believing that it’s ‘easy’ for me to get up. I love to sleep, I love napping, I love the REM stage, I love the feeling…

CrossFit Games Athlete: Jeremy Kinnick
This is Jeremy Kinnick – an amazing athlete and person who just made it to the CrossFit Games for the FOURTH time! (08,09,11,12) He has worked hard all year, upped his game, shed some weight, focused his plan and guess what? It worked — he knew what he wanted, and is going after it with…

Inversion: Method to the Madness
I had the most wonderful day yesterday. My kids were so loving and Scotty made me breakfast and left the day open for me to be as free as I wanted. Now that’s a great day. I did some shopping, met a friend for some coffee, took a short nap, and ended it with a…

CrossFit Games Athlete: Gretchen Kittelberger Inspires Me
Here are the top 3 women in the CrossFit Mid-Atlantic Regionals this past weekend. Christy Phillips, Jen Jones (top spot), Gretchen Kittelberger. All three shaped very differently, all three strong as hell, fit as hell, determined and focused! Notice how they aren’t bulky, man looking women but attractive, fit and strong. They all lift weights — a…

Life is so Short and Family so Important
This pic makes me smile. It’s my niece Amelia and Sis In Law, Janine. 2 people I would love to be able to spend more time with in my life. It’s hard when you live clear across the country. It’s definitely easier now with Skype but sad that I don’t get to be a regular…

When You Need a Rest Day, Take It!
I was beyond tired this morning, so I took a rest day. Gasp! Horror! You have to learn to listen to your body after all this time — and that’s what I did. I may go tonite if it works out. I had a really great weekend hanging with people who love CrossFit as much…

Mid-Atlantic CrossFit Regionals
I am really exhausted from this weekend, but not too tired to make sure to workout. I could not possibly watch all of those amazing athletes at the Regionals and NOT workout. Colleen and Kim M. met me there and we created a different type of WOD. It was amazingly tough! WOD 15m AMRAP 5…

CrossFit: Mid-Atlantic Regionals
Here I am at the Mid-Atlantic Regionals with Greg Glassman, founder of CrossFit. Very nice guy, approachable and seems like a down to Earth guy. We chatted a bit about an idea I have. It was pretty cool. I am off for Day 2 of volunteering today — I am having fun and meeting a…

Change the Voices in Your Head – Start Today!
I coached my first adult CF class solo this AM – rockin the red coaches shirt. It was fun and what was even better was that I could have a cup of coffee before I went! Whoo hoo – that was a treat. Last night, I was talking to one of the CFI Whole Life…
