  • Snow!

    Today is my rest day –and we got some snow so the kids are delayed by a few hours so we all slept in a bit. I did head over to Crossfit Impavidus last night before the snow got bad. It was a good workout —  we did a good solid warm up first, then…

  • Crossfit Northwest Tucson – Writes about the Tragedy in Tucson

    There are few words to describe how we feel today. CrossFit Northwest Tucson is saddened and wants to put out there that everyone involved today is in our thoughts and prayers. This tragedy hit close to home. I mean close, Ina and Oracle is a stones throw from our house and the school our children…

  • Double Unders and Plyo Box Jumps

    I headed to a special essentials class at Plumbline Training today to help improve and/or learn how to do Double Unders and Plyo box jumps. I recently improved greatly with the plyo box jumps — you jump on and off the plyo box in quick succession – on off on off. The Double Unders is…

  • 2 A-Day Workouts

    Yesterday was a crazy busy day — Scotty and I headed out to finish our last minute holiday shopping and then we spent a few hours wrapping the gifts. This is pretty good for us as we usually wait until the night before so we are already ahead of last year’s schedule. Then I headed…

  • Crossfit WOD

    Last nite I headed over to a crossfit gym that is opening in Ashburn for a test WOD. I am really excited to see that Crossfit Impavidus* has finally come to Loudoun County. For those of you that don’t know what crossfit is here is a good video that gives you an idea: One of…
