Live Fit and Sore

  • Great Opportunities

    I have been lucky enough this 4th of July holiday to get to see some friends that I haven’t seen in a while — I love the kind of friends that even though you haven’t seen them in a while, it’s like you pick up exactly where you left off. They just get you —…

  • 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…

  • Fran=CrossFit Workout Hell

    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…

  • 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…

  • Hug someone today

    thought that this was worth re-posting: Since we found out that my dad was sick with cancer this past year, I won’t leave the house without hugging and kissing my parents. I have come to realize that every minute I have with them is a gift from God. Every hug, every word, every kiss—all gifts…

  • CrossFit and Community

    We met Kelly again today at CrossFit. She is one of those mean ladies that are considered benchmarks. I woke up with a sore throat and tired and should have listened to my body more but I love the challenge of doing these benchmarks — so I went. It was tougher than I expected. I…

  • Summer Workout and the livin is easy

    I had such a good day yesterday starting with that great WOD where I kicked butt! My abs are sore and I have a lower back sore from all those sit ups but those I can live with! Yesterday was Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year and the first day of Summer. Hard…

  • Agility Workout at CrossFit

    I feel good today. I am finally recovered from the hard workouts last week and the falling off the wagon weekend — and last week I went to see my doctor and he took some blood. He called and said that my bloodwork was great and my cholesterol was ‘excellent’. That is Paleo and CrossFit at work…
