Monday means Murph
Good Morning Monday. It was a tough weekend full of hard workouts and hours and hours of lawn work. There really is something to doing lawn maintenance each season so that it doesn’t all pile up — I spent over 3 hours raking and bagging leaves in my back yard and I am still not…

The Couch Stretch aka Torture
There is a stretch we do at CrossFit Impavidus that I think is a serious form of torture. It’s called the couch stretch – try it, you will quickly see why I think the way I do… Even this CF site renames it: The Couch Stretch, aka”Dude, this hurts more than the WOD” at CrossFit…

Tag You’re It!
It was a great open workout at CrossFit Impavidus today. A few new people showed up, full of energy! I can’t tell you enough how much I love the community aspect of CrossFit. Fellow athletes all cheering each other on — wanting to see results! It really is the big difference between a ‘globo-gym’ and…

CrossFit Games Workout
Man, I’m sore. It was almost enough to keep me in bed this morning and skip my workout — but nope, I got up and headed to CrossFit Impavidus. It was a tough workout. So many times, I will look at what the WOD is when I first walk in to the box, and say…

Sometimes you scream like a girl…

It’s like being a kid again!
I am going to try an evening class tonite. Scott had to leave for work at 5A, so that meant I had to skip my morning workout. It’s ok though, because it gives me an excuse to go to an evening class with a different trainer. Each of the trainers at CrossFit Impavidus has different…

Happy Birthday to my Beautiful Daughter!
Today is my beautiful Hannah Bea’s 9th birthday. It is hard to believe that it has been 9 years since I took that trip to Reston Hospital that forever changed my life. I became a Mom. What a wonderful journey it is — This morning’s workout was fun — I can’t begin to tell you…
