  • Finding your ‘CrossFit’

    This weather is great and perfect for working out. Other than allergies, I love springtime in Virginia. I also love ‘springtime’ in Arizona –which is where i will be heading in a few short weeks for spring break. Heat, sun and time to recharge — Warmupx2 run around bldg 1x sampson stretch 10 pass thrus…

  • Thoughts from Shopping on a Sunday Afternoon

    Today is a rest day –and pulling those sleds and flipping those tires yesterday made this rest day much appreciated! I went to Wegman’s for my weekly grocery shopping pilgrimage. I probably spend at least another 20 bucks a week buying gluten free stuff for Nate. It’s mind boggling that gluten is found in just…

  • Bear Down Arizona!

    Bear Down Arizona — What a great win last night over Duke to land themselves in the Great 8 — What a great story this will make — I took today as a rest day. After all those deadlifts yesterday, my back is feeling it. It’s not the type of pain where I hurt it…

  • Nate Dogg – R.I.P.

    Today is my rest day — I have workouts planned for the rest of the week including a 5K in DC the Chris4Life Scope It Out 5K for Colon Cancer Awareness! It’s my first race of the season so I am pretty excited! It’s not too late to join me or donate to the cause…

  • Dead Hang Pull Ups – oh the fun

    Yes, I am crazy. And yes, I got up and headed to the 6A CrossFit Impavidus class today. Yes, I am aware I went to the 730p class last night. Hey – I have a lot of stress right now and exercise is my way of dealing with it. Nothing wrong with that right? Warmupx2…

  • Think of the possiblities!

    I took a rest day today, although I didn’t really want to. I have been in all day meetings and the sheer fact that I am sitting in a chair for hours on end, makes exercising all that more attractive to me! I think it’s so important to keep learning. So many of us get…

  • Gary Taubes on Dr Oz or shall I Say in Oz?

    via The Dose of Intervention and the Land of Dr. Oz | Gary Taubes | Gary Taubes. Gary wrote Why We Get Fat and Good Calories, Bad Calories and makes a whole lotta sense! Going on Dr Oz’s show is big for this type of thinking and approach to nutrition so although it may have…

  • The Trouble with Bright Girls

    Successful women know only too well that in any male-dominated profession, we often find ourselves at a distinct disadvantage. We are routinely underestimated, underutilized and even underpaid. Studies show that women need to perform at extraordinarily high levels, just to appear moderately competent compared to our male coworkers. But in my experience, smart and talented…

  • Life is getting faster and faster …

    Sunday with…John Lasseter Pixar movies often have a nostalgic streak. What are you personally nostalgic about? I’ve noticed with my own kids, it seems like they have so much more homework than I did. I worry about kids today not having time to build a tree house or ride a bike or go fishing. I…

  • An Unexpected Rest Day

    It’s been quite a busy day. I woke up all raring to go workout when I realized I couldn’t turn my head to the right. I was dressed and thought oh I will go — then I stopped and said nope, not going to push it! So I went back to bed — so Thursday…
