  • Half your Max Workout

    It’s a great day weather wise here in Northern Virginia but of course, the closer we get to the Fourth of July – the hotter it’s going to get. Isn’t that the way it always goes? So I did it — I am signed up to get my CrossFit certification next month. I have been…

  • Kids and Fitness

    Yesterday, I received an email from someone who had read my most recent blog post in the Ashburn Patch about getting kids into fitness. I fully believe there is no reason that is good enough to not be on top of this issue as parents. It’s part of our job to not only lead by…

    Summer for my kids means camps. I remember loving camp when I was younger. I went to a YMCA camp called Camp Runamuck and it was arts & crafts, swimming, exploring and lots of little field trips. It wasn’t anything mind blowing but I have a lot of fun memories. So I totally don’t get…

  • CrossFit Kids at YouthFest 2011

    We had a great time talking to kids and their parents at the Ashburn YouthFest 2011. Each kid was given a passport that we were to put a sticker on and they had to stop by all the stands to be entered to get their prize. Well we weren’t just going to give it up…

  • Weekend Workout

    I have a busy day that started out at CrossFit Impavidus for another fun and hard workout. Scott has informed me that I basically say that about every workout, every morning when I come home. So I’m probably like the boy who cried wolf.  But it’s true and it’s good because that means you never…

  • Raising money for the Wounded Warrior Project

    I had already decided that today was going to be a forced Rest Day – even though a part of me totally wanted to challenge myself with the workout today. But I got home late and had a great night last night — headed to Jimmy’s in Herndon to guest bartend and hang out with…

  • Paleo Eating

    Potatoes bad, nuts good for staying slim, Harvard study finds Yeah, there is something to that Paleo eating after-all.
