  • CrossFit Kids at YouthFest 2011

    We had a great time talking to kids and their parents at the Ashburn YouthFest 2011. Each kid was given a passport that we were to put a sticker on and they had to stop by all the stands to be entered to get their prize. Well we weren’t just going to give it up…

  • Weekend Workout

    I have a busy day that started out at CrossFit Impavidus for another fun and hard workout. Scott has informed me that I basically say that about every workout, every morning when I come home.

  • Hug someone today

    thought that this was worth re-posting: Since we found out that my dad was sick with cancer this past year, I won’t leave the house without hugging and kissing my parents. I have come to realize that every minute I have with them is a gift from God. Every hug, every word, every kiss—all gifts…

    Paleo Diet Infographic Here’s a cool Paleo explained infographic I found at one of my favorite blogs: the clothes make the girl. Mel has some great info, has a great sense of humor, is strong and kicks ass. She inspires me regularly. As I am away this weekend – I am going to share some…

  • Your Commute Could Kill You

    Your Commute is Killing You This week, researchers at Umea University in Sweden released a startling finding: Couples in which one partner commutes for longer than 45 minutes are 40 percent likelier to divorce. The Swedes could not say why. Perhaps long-distance commuters tend to be poorer or less educated, both conditions that make divorce more…

  • Does having children make you happy?

    Does having children make you happy? Such an interesting discussion. I know lots of people with no kids who are happy, and those will kids who are happy. I guess it all depends on how you define Happy. Nearly one in five American women now ends her childbearing years without having a child, compared with…
