  • Happy New Year 2014

      Nothing like doing a 5K on New Year’s Day — Rehau Resolutions 5K. It was a tough one for me.. did about a 10 minute mile. My running needs major work– and I mean major work. Happy New Year – May it be your best year yet!

  • Happy Birthday to the Silver Fox

    I think next year for Christmas, I am going to go easy on the number of gifts for each kid. How do you do that though when your kiddos already have these high expectations of what they will receive? Well – I like the suggestions in the blog post linked below — strategic deprivation throughout…

  • Merry Merry Christmas!

    Merry Christmas – My family knows me well and stocked me up with some cool CrossFit gear. The socks say Bad Ass, the air freshener is Bacon, the shirt says T-Rex Hates pushups and the wrist wraps are for my lifts! It has been a great holiday — opening gifts, napping and now off to…

  • Christmas Eve – Be Happy

    Here we are – Christmas Eve. I have a ton of wrapping to do and I will try to be in the holiday spirit. Sometimes I think these holidays do more damage to people than help. People get cranky, some kids forget how lucky they are and become greedy little brats, everything is rush, rush,…

  • Thanksgiving is coming: Are You Ready?

    It’s almost Thanksgiving – are you mentally preparing and creating a plan on how to approach this holiday?

  • Veteran’s: Day 2013: Thank You

    Veteran’s Day 2013 Thank you to all those that served and are serving our country — It is quite a sacrifice to dedicate your life to protecting our freedoms and I appreciate it every single day.  

  • Happy Halloween: Give Me Candy

    I’m all about health and fitness but I do think that there are certain days where you need to just need a bit of breathing room from all the rules. Halloween is one of those days for my kids. My friend Leah, who owns CrossFit Nation in Maryland, posted about a story about a woman…
