  • Day After —

    Happy Thanksgiving!! Here’s our turkey from last night — And I have a food coma so not a lot of writing today.

  • Re-Centering

    HAPPY THANKSGIVING Everyone! I know it’s so cliche to post what you are thankful for — but I’m ok with that. I am so thankful for all the wonderful that are in my life. I have been blessed to have really supportive, healthy people in my life that inspire me every day to put my…

  • Imagine that Day!

    Are we all ready for Thanksgiving? My sister Connie got in yesterday from Oregon and we tackled Wegmans yesterday evening. While it wasn’t packed, it certainly wasn’t empty. All the crazy people with their oversized carts bumping into every corner — oh the joys of the holidays. My other sister, Deb is arriving this afternoon…

  • Honoring Our Veterans

    Happy Veteran’s Day — One of the many great things about CrossFit is that it embraces & honors the men and women in uniform. They honor the Heroes who gave their lives to keep us and our country safe with special Hero Workouts. CrossFit Hero WODs are some of the most intense workout experiences that…

  • Happy Halloween!

    Happy Halloween!! It was quite a shock to have snow this weekend and now it’s dark and cold. Nothing like running in the cold weather that seizes up the lungs but it certainly wakes you up. How’s that for seeing it from a different perspective. Warmup Sampson Stretch Pass Thrus Whirly Birds Bendy Whirly Birds…

  • Happy Columbus Day, now get to it!

    Good Morning People! It is indeed Columbus Day and I am not off from my job. My husband and kids are still snug in their beds so it was quite the bummer to come home after my workout and not have hot coffee waiting for me. Life is about adjustments people! After Saturday’s brutal workout,…

  • Happy Birthday U.S.A.

    I made my fruit trifle for the holiday occasion and once again it was a hit!  Although it does have angel food cake in it —  you can easily make it with just the pudding and fruit and it will be just as good — We headed over to our dear friends – Jim  & Holly’s –…

  • ‘JT’ – CrossFit Hero Workout

    Happy Fourth of July! I started my day off with a trip to CrossFit Impavidus for a special Hero WOD: JT – In honor of Navy Petty Officer 1st Class Jeff Taylor, 30, of Little Creek, VA who was killed in Afghanistan. “My husband was a warrior and a man who believed his purpose in…

  • Honoring Murph at CrossFit

    Yesterday was a great day. I headed to CrossFit Impavidus for their Memorial Day ‘Murph’ WOD. I did ‘Murph‘ last April and the weather was pleasant. Yesterday – not so pleasant. Hot, Humid, Hot — but this was a great WOD, and great way to honor a real hero.  We started the day with National…

  • Wall Ball Shots WOD

    It was one of those days when you look at the workout and say –oh that’s not so bad – but afterwards, all you want to do is lie flat on your back and never get up again.  Seems like a reoccurring theme with CrossFit. I often hear from people about how short some of…
