  • Coaching is all about Perspective

    Last night, I headed to CrossFit Rubicon to drop in to one of their strength training sessions. I had no idea what to expect and did feel a bit intimidated when I first got there. Each CF is individually owned so you do get a variety in training philosophies. It’s good to switch it up and…

  • CrossFit Does Change Lives

    I feel so much better today than yesterday. I know I am not alone that taking rest days is hard — I miss my CF workouts. It’s not only physical for me — it’s mental and social. I actually have fun when I get there. No matter how tired, stressed I am.  Everyone should have…

  • Sometimes You Have To Wing It

    Just like any other Monday, my alarm went off at 515A and I got up. As I was getting up, I noticed how sore I was. Something about the workouts Sat and Sunday really ran me down. My lats and shoulders are killing me and my hamstrings. For those paying attention, that’s pretty much the…
