  • Double Unders are no longer Elusive

    Great workout at Crossfit Impavidus this morning.  Saturday mornings at 10a the team offers free WODs so people can come and check it out. They had another great turnout and it was a really fun WOD. We were broken in teams of 4 and worked as a group and counted reps. We named our teams…

  • Back Squats

    Headed to Crossfit Impavidus this morning. CFI is closer and the class starts 15 mins later than my old camp so I get to sleep in a bit more and still get home at the same time. That’s a win in my book — Today was strength day: Back Squat 3-3-3-3-3. What this means is…

  • 100% Crossfit trained!

    Change happens when you need it; not necessarily when you THINK you need it. I made a big decision today. I am switching boot camps. I have been considering moving over to Crossfit for some time and had been waiting for them to arrive in Loudoun County. As those of you know who read my…

  • Wake up to a Hang Snatch

    Woke up at 5a as usual this AM and we had about 9in on the ground. I had shoveled a bit last night so it was possible that I was going to be able to leave for boot camp this AM. Scotty told me that I shouldn’t consider it — the roads looked icy but…

  • CFI Workout

    Today was a Plumbline rest day so I headed to Crossfit Impavidus for a morning workout. I have been wanting to do an early morning WOD with some of the new group. I woke up to snow but as you know — that’s not something that will stop me. I got there and one other…

  • Don’t Mind If I’m “PUDGY”

    Stephy, Full of Grace, Full of Beast. (Sunday Inspiration: Don’t Mind If I’m “PUDGY”). I loved this post. Ideals of what is considered beauty and healthy change all the time. I look at these pics of ‘pudgy stockton’ and think — no way would that be pudgy. That’s a strong, lean person.  So — although…

  • Crossfit Acronyms

    I have been talking about Crossfit more on livefitandsore.com and wanted to make sure that anyone who reads it has a reference point for the acronyms that I will use from time to time. Feel free to add any that are specific to your CF gym. This is from crossfit.com: CrossFit Acronyms and Abbreviations AMRAP:…

  • 1m AMRAP x3

    As I mentioned, CFI had a free WOD today for anyone wanting to check it out. The set up was great too — 20 people broken up in groups of 5 and each group had a coach and they watched you as you did the WOD. Warmup Jog around the bldg Sampson Stretch PVC Pipe…

  • A Junk Food Hangover

    So, last night I had Pizza. Cheesy, greasy Pizza. It’s hard living paleo all the time and sometimes it really is easier to just say Ahh, the hell with it — I want Pizza! So I did and I didn’t just have one slice — I think I had 3. I took off half the…
