  • Valentine’s Day is for Indian Food

    Hope everyone had a great Valentine’s Day. It’s such a funny holiday to me — you find people who love the holiday, dress all in red totally embracing the romance and joy of it all and then those that refuse to acknowledge that it’s anything more than a regular day.  I’m kind of in the…

  • Valentine’s Day WOD: aka ‘Barbara’

    Happy Valentine’s Day — i prefer to think of this day as a day to appreciate all the wonderful people in my life, instead of looking at it as the one day to be all gushy and lovey dovey. Every day should be like that when you are in love — Today’s workout on paper…

  • Who is this Murph? Not sure I like him —

    I woke up really late this morning – past 9A if you can believe it. It’s a combo of that time of the month and a few late nights combined with a little off paleo eating that seems to be making me feel this way.  So I got up and got dressed and headed out…

  • Stop, Clean & Jerk

    It’s important to stop and appreciate all you have daily. This morning – I included a pic of my kids getting ready to leave for school this morning. They bring me so much joy and teach me so much every day. I can’t imagine my life without these 2 rascals and I am glad I…

  • Crossfit Impavidus: It’s your box too

    Another Crossfit Impavidus training session this morning and my shoulders were not too pleased! I was also the only one that came to the 6A class so I basically had a personal training session with Nick. That is good and bad. You can’t really slack when the trainer has only you to focus on —…

  • Strength WOD at CFI

    I decided to try an evening class at Crossfit Impavidus to switch things up last night. The only issue is that I have to get up the next morning and workout. It’s tough on the body. Last night with trainer Nate was a strength session. Nate is a good trainer – he goes over form…

  • Getting to know Kip.

    No falls this morning at Crossfit Impavidus – that was a bonus right there.  My friend Oy came to the 6A class & added an extra element of fun. And the same people are showing up to the class so it’s becoming more like home to me every day. I am really liking Coach Nick.…

  • Crossfit and Body Image

    Crossfit and Body Image. This post resonated with me. It is so true — women especially spend so much energy on hating what they see. They can be the strongest, prettiest women you have ever seen but if you ask them – they can show you a laundry list of things that they ‘hate’ about…

  • Well hello, Fran!:Crossfit WOD

    Today I met Fran. For those familiar with Crossfit, Fran is a benchmark WOD. Long time Crossfitters all know their “fran” time. Fran: 21-15-9 65lb Thrusters Pull ups (green band assisted) Fran time: 6:35 Some caveats to my time: For some reason I had it in my head to power clean every rep in the…
