  • Working on your relationships

    You know what I love? On my drive home I see older couples walking. Many of them are Asian or Indian — just walking, together. It’s early in the morning and they are walking. Some walk fast, some slow but they walk together. That’s seriously one of the secrets of staying youthful and together. Exercise…

  • Deadlifts and Handstand Push Ups – The stuff I was made for

    Yes, one of the CrossFit Girls showed up today. Diane made another appearance. She’s one tough chick but for the most part, I like her because it is shoulders and upper body. Which anyone that takes a look at me can tell — this is the stuff I was made for. I wasn’t born with…

  • CrossFit and the Virginia Earthquake

    Ok I’m not going to lie — I freaked out yesterday during the earthquake a bit. I was at my desk on the 6th floor and I felt the bldg adjust. I said to Tiffany, an intern here for a few more weeks — what was that? Then the bldg started to shake. I said…

  • Workouts – A lot like life, rolling with the punches

    CrossFit hands are known for their roughness. For some, it’s a sign of hard work — for me, it’s just painful. One of my fellow athletes, Brad, recommended that I soak my hand in warm, soapy water for 10-15m, until my the blister/callus turned white. Then take a butter knife and slowly slice it off.…

  • CrossFit Workout: Tabata ‘Ouch’

    Been a crazy long weekend — Family Fun Fest, A friends house for an outdoor movie night, extra CrossFit training session, A birthday party. Someone stop the bus, I want to get off! Seriously — there was very little down time. This is the last week before school starts for the kiddos too. Hard to…

  • A pleasant Sunday with CrossFit

    Yesterday one of my CrossFit pals, Sven was nice enough to spend a few hours with me at the box to help me with some of the things I am struggling with. We invited along Lori and Kim to work on kipping pull ups, power cleans and muscle ups. Even though it was a skills…

  • A girl’s gotta do what she’s gotta do!

    It’s been a crazy busy day. I skipped my usual workout to help out CrossFit Impavidus Kids at the Family Fun Fest at Dulles Town Center. We want to get the word out about CrossFit and CrossFit Kids. We had some of our own kids and some of our athlete kids come by and did…

  • CrossFit and Cardio

    I have been bringing my kids in for the free sessions of CrossFit Kids at CrossFit Impavidus.  They LOVE It. Even after a full day of camp, both of my kids are excited to go. That makes me really happy. Yesterday, they had to do a 5m AMRAP with 5 front squat/ball toss and 3…

  • Worn Out WOD

    I gotta be honest — I am feeling overwhelmed. It’s the busy season for my company, and especially my team which handles new parents enrolling their families in online schools. As a fellow parent, I know it’s stressful sending the kids to school and I can only imagine the extra stress these parents are under,…
