  • Fran WOD

    It was a super busy weekend — Half the family went to the Joint Services Air Show and Hannah and I went to the Reston Arts Fair — and then we had laser tag parties, CrossFit, CrossFit Kids — laundry, cleaning, errands — no down time at all this weekend. I’m going to share some…

  • Venus with Biceps

    I saw a new book review that got my attention: Venus with Biceps: A Pictorial History of Muscular Women It definitely has not traditionally been the look of the ideal woman – strong, muscular woman. I do think the tides are turning or at least in the circles I hang out in …. CrossFit woman…

  • Burpee Love WOD

  • Paleo and looking younger…

    It’s an extraordinary claim.

    Here is a pic of me taken this morning with my new Life as Rx’d tank on my way to CrossFit. You know what I noticed after looking at this picture? I look leaner than I have ever looked–the only change I made was going to CrossFit full time. I was not the only one…
