  • Inspiration to Start Your Weekend

    I’m not sure if I have mentioned but I am leading a wellness challenge at Highbar CrossFit. I am far from perfect when it comes to complete and utter wellness, but I sure as heck have enough experience and knowledge to help others navigate as they learn what works for their body. It’s been a…

  • Are You Drinking Enough Water?

    Kids are home and I found out they will be home for the rest of the week thanks to Mother Nature. I am all for being around my kids, but there comes a time when we all need some distance from one another –like this week! One of the nutrition challenge extra asks last week…

  • Think About Your Social Legacy

    I’ve been really reflective the past month or so – thinking about life, my own place in the universe, how I relate to others, and the frailty of life in general. Not sure why all of the sudden – maybe because some change in my own life or seeing friends lose someone close to them.…

  • Life Happens So Always Look Again

    The past month or so have been odd — my son’s friend’s father died over the holidays and this week, my coach, Randy, at Highbar had to leave abruptly on Monday – unfortunately his father passed away in his sleep sometime during the night. Life happens and you never know what’s next. I was talking…

  • Is Chivalry Dead or Is It Just About Manners?

    My friend Nicole mentioned a new moisturizer she has been using that helped her heal fast from a minor surgery she had. She said the doctors were amazed at how fast she was healing up because she was using it. I ran to the store and picked some up and I have been using it…

  • The Lone Survivor – Sobering and Important

    The picture to the left is the butt crushing workout I did yesterday at Highbar CrossFit. It wasn’t an officially sanctioned workout – it was created by a fellow member, Nick – and done during open gym. Let me tell you –holy crap am I sore today. I liked it a lot though because it…

  • The 2014 CrossFit Games Open Starts Feb 27th

    The CrossFit Games Open starts soon — its a series of workouts designed to challenge you and separate casual athletes from elites and ultimately those that rise to the challenge meet up during the CrossFit Games during the summer. Even you aren’t ready to go to the ultimate games, it’s a good way to just…

  • Baby, It’s Cold Outside in the DMV Area

    I know there are a ton of people out there that live in cold weather and it’s just another day to them. However, in the Northern VA/DC metro area –this is not normal weather. It’s minus degrees with the wind today and holy crap – it’s cold. And for the third day in a row,…

  • Benefits of a Sauna for Athletes

    The end of 2013 is almost here – boy what a year right? For me it was full of big changes – training at a new gym, getting laid off from a job I was ready to leave but couldn’t pull the trigger myself, working on my weaknesses and discovering lots of new things about…

  • Happy Birthday CrossFit Chick: Christmas Abbott

    There are quite a few things on my mind today – Yesterday, I posted this pic of me and my friend Kath who has joined our 6a group at Highbar CrossFit. My sister and I were talking and she asked me how long I have been at Highbar CrossFit.  She said you were at that…
