  • What Reality Really Looks Like

    I read this Facebook status this morning and thought it was perfect to share – the past few days, I have been struggling with being engaged in my workouts – I’m really sore and worn out. I am more than thankful that today is a rest day from Highbar CrossFit. I may even take tomorrow off…

  • February is the Dark and Dreary Month

    I am worn out — today’s workout was brutal. The kind of workout I didn’t want to do, and while I was doing it, I wanted to stop and when it was over — I didn’t feel better. I am so sore that I was having issues doing some maintenance lifting today. I definitely should…

  • Thoughts On President’s Day

    Happy President’s Day! Last night during dinner, we went around and discussed who our favorite president was and why. Both kids said George Washington – for the usual reasons. Scotty said sorta jokingly that Ronald Reagan was his for ending the cold war. That led us to a discussion about what the Cold War was…

  • Happy Valentine’s Day: Lucky to Have Love

    Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone out there. It doesn’t matter what kind of Love you have in your life— as long as you have Love. It’s mushy but true.  I am lucky to have the Silver Fox in my life – who loves me at my worst and at my best. This is the 19th…

  • Snow Days Mean Shoveling For Time

    Lots of snow —  lots of shoveling — lots of going stir crazy. I am probably one of the few people out there that doesn’t really mind the snow in general, but there comes a point when it’s too much and I am over it. I think I hit that today. We are supposed to…

  • Family Bonds are Important

    Yesterday during our 200m shuttle run test – something happened around lap 7 and my ankle gave out. I knew something had happened but wasnt sure what and I kept going, finishing out the final 3 laps. When I got in the shower yesterday –  I had a black and blue mark around my ankle…

  • Rest in Peace Ms. Shirley Temple

    If the predictions are right, the DC area is due for some big snow starting tomorrow night. Personally, I like having some snow on the ground. I find it forces people to slow down life a bit. However, the extra work attached to getting a big dump of snow is not welcome. My kids get…

  • Necessary Recovery

    It’s been a crazy weekend celebrating my birthday. I am still recovering and I definitely was reminded about why I am not a drinker. Yuck. I lost track of how much I drank on Saturday night and had to take most of yesterday to recover. I remember that it’s not that fun to be so…

  • Be Awesome

    I had the loveliest day yesterday – didn’t do anything crazy but heard from a ton of people, got treated special by my family – and got a few gifts from people that let me know that they get who I am. Of course, I indulged a bit as a birthday treat and all day…

  • It’s My Birthday
