  • Meeting Isabel

    I was pretty wiped out after my long drive back from NJ yesterday. 4 hours non-stop but no traffic so that was good. There are times when I really miss the east. It’s like I just fit in there — it’s my home. I had pizza and Italian food too.   It was so nice…

  • Go get a colonoscopy

    Why you need a colonoscopy. As a family who is just recovering from all the things that go along with colon cancer — I never forget to take the time to remind people to get a colonoscopy. If you are over 50, make sure you do but if you have any family history — then…

  • Weekend Away

    Paleo Diet Infographic Here’s a cool Paleo explained infographic I found at one of my favorite blogs: the clothes make the girl. Mel has some great info, has a great sense of humor, is strong and kicks ass. She inspires me regularly. As I am away this weekend – I am going to share some…

  • Innov8s have arrived

    My innov8’s came in on Weds but I skipped my workout on Thurs so I couldn’t try them out until today. I have a cold that started in my throat area, then went to my head and now is rattling in my chest as I cough it all out. Who gets a cold when it’s…

  • Handstands are my friend

    This image made me laugh so hard! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Anything with kitties makes me laugh. And I needed that this AM. While my throat feels better, it has moved up to my head, so I am all congested.  Oh the joys! Because of the congestion, the workout was…

  • Managing Stress

    Our body’s old response to modern stress can be dangerous I have had lots of discussions about this with my doctor over the years. Our bodies are not designed to handle stress the way we have to deal with it in modern day. Consistent and pervasive stress can cause serious issues – physical and mental.…

  • Strength Day WOD

    I woke up with a sore throat but I am hoping to keep it at bay so it doesn’t get any worse. Ttoday was a Coach Jerry day, so I had to make it. I have been having some restless sleeping nights lately. Not sure if its because of what I have been eating lately…

  • Reebok CrossFit Mid-Atlantic Regionals

    I just got back from watching the CrossFit Mid-Atlantic Regionals and I am way inspired and speechless by what I saw.  Super athletes in my mind doing the same workouts I do but even faster, more efficient. I was just so in my element watching. I loved the energy in the place and watching others,…

  • Rest days are earned.

    I took a rest day today. An athlete friend of mine has been talking to me about over-training. Now I won’t say that I am, but I appreciate that he has taken the time to remind me to be aware of it. He said something yesterday that rung very true — people who are totally…

  • Self Image Sabotage

    I have been thinking a lot about my posture and how I look in general. I saw some candid pictures from the CrossFit Murph WOD on Monday and candidly — I was seriously horrified at how I appear. I was hesitant to post this, but then thought about how one of the things that made me…
