  • No Excuses!

    Another rough night of sleep makes for a tough wake up at 515A. But my inner voice no longer tries to talk me out of it. Instead it tells me how upset I will be if I don’t go. Motivation is a muscle that gets stronger over time as well… Warmupx3 20 Double Unders 10…

  • CrossFit: Helen

    I’m very sleepy this morning — I did not sleep well and woke up a bit worse for wear. For a brief moment I considered going back to sleep but nope, not gonna happen. I got up and got my butt in gear — I had such a nice weekend – hard to go back…

  • St. Patty’s Day Weekend

    life was busy this weekend — went out with some great ladies, saw my the payoff of my kids’ hard work and smarts in their Odyssey of the Mind presentations, spent some time outdoors enjoying the gorgeous weather in the DC area and showed support to fellow athletes as they took on the beast known as 12.4…

  • Every Thought Is A Seed – Remember that!

    I love the weather that the DC area is having right now — 60s-70s spring may be here! It’s odd though, we haven’t had any snow and it’s been really mild. Creeps me out a bit that our weather can be so drastically different. That can’t be good. This past weekend, Scott took some great…

  • Monday is the time for Annie

    Yeah thats me doing 12.3 crossfit open – 75# Push Press. Pretty cool pic I think — and the photographer is pretty good too considering it’s Scotty. He’s been totally getting into photography and loves to come in on Saturday mornings to take some shots. I like to refer to him as my personal photographer……

  • CrossFit Open 12.3 In the Books

    I attempted 12.3 today. My performance was not something to write home about, but I will take it — 3 rounds + 15 + 12 + 7. I could not squeak out those last 2 reps to make it 4. i didn’t push myself super hard in fear of an asthma attack. Im keeping it…

  • A Doozy of a Workout

    The weather in DC area is so beautiful..60s-70s. I feel guilty enjoying it so much. It’s hard to believe that Spring will be here before you know and that means Spring Forward – more sunlight, more time for outdoors and more Vitamin D! The 3rd workout in the games was announced yesterday — and of…

  • Does She Look Bulky To You?

    I think these pictures are the way most women fear looking like if they lift weights. I am not saying that these women look good or bad — it’s just not the ideal picture of what most women out there think they want to look like and for so many, they attribute lifting heavy weights/strength…

  • Gotta Scale the Workout? It’s Ok!

    I liked today’s workout, so I figured what the heck – I need to work on my Double Unders! We worked on head/handstands too so it was fun all around! Warmupx2 25 Double Unders 25ft lunges 50 bear crawl — 10 pass thrus 10 good mornings Skill Handstands Headstands WOD 12m AMRAP 50 (25) Double…
