  • Christmas!

    I am still recovering from my night of debauchery — but I started to feel better around 8p last night. The thing with going out when you are my age is the recovery — it takes you way too long to recover. I lost an entire day and there was no way that I could…

  • Gotta Love the Community

    I love the people I workout with – seriously. Just a great, fun group of people that support each other. The way I look at it all — if you can’t have a good time getting up that friggin early in the AM, then at times, its not worth it.  And what I really like…

  • Dead Lift Gorgeous

    Today is one of those days when I was excited to head to CrossFit (well, more than usual). Deadlifts! I like DLs — I can do DLs. Broad sturdy shoulders and strong core base come in handy! I needed a good heavy lift — it’s been a hard, stressful week here at the Hoaglund house.…

  • Travel and Activity

    I was really tired this AM so I took my normal Weds day off. I am considering heading to an evening workout if I can — we shall see how I feel. I like today’s Tabata WOD so I hate missing it!   Many of us are traveling over the next few weeks — seeing…
