  • Don’t Forget the Classics

    Yesterday was a great day. Spent it by working out in the AM, and spending the afternoon with good friends by the pool with the kids. Life in the USA doesn’t get much better than that! We have been watching So You Think You Can Dance lately with the kids. Nate has always been interested…

  • Pacing Myself

    It occurred to me this AM that the reason my wrists are sore is because I am trying out the new grips I got that velcro around them. DOH! I used them this AM but made sure they were looser around my wrists. The verdict is still out on them helping me out  with any…

  • Get It Done!

    Love this: I have often heard discussed, that when it is time to go, you don’t remember your life in months or years, but instead you remember only moment’s, evens magical seconds, the snap shots and stills that have set the scenes of your life. So lovely people, who ride along side, make sure you are creating…

  • Cancer – Go the F Away!

    Something about reading about Andy Whitfield and his battle with cancer again brought up some serious emotions yesterday. I feel so much empathy towards his wife and having to go on day after day having lost the love of her life at such a young age. Although Scott is thriving, I had to grasp the…

  • Run Faster to Get Better

    My friend Lidia is headed to the CF Games again — I did a write up on her to highlight how amazing she is for CrossFitGames.com Today’s workout was brutal. Sprints and Dead Lifts together? What is the coach crazy? It was hard……….and I ended up doing 5 rounds with 135# deadlifts. Yeah — I…

  • Stop the CrossFit Elitism

    I have recently become aware of something that I think needs some attention. Many of my fellow CrossFit athletes have been working out for quite some time. We get it, we get the reasons why we are doing it. We get the movements. We get the work required to make the progress we want. We…

  • Good Luck Matt at the Olympic Swimming Trials

    Funny story to share — HB and I went and got some Benajmin Moore paint this weekend so we could her room.  She is growing up and no longer wants her pink and yellow stripes as they are too babyish for her. In fact –the entire Pink color category is no longer tolerated in her…

  • A Case of Mommy Guilt

    This someecard cracks me up but yet is so true. I’m sure that many of the Moms out there can totally relate — there are so many times that I feel like I am not doing my job as a Mom, not living up to the expectations I have for what my role should be.…

  • WOD Recaps

    Have no fear — i have been working out the past few days! Just haven’t posted them — until now.   Friday Shoulder Presses, Ring Dips, Rests, Push Presses, Push Jerks One bar. Increase load for each lift. Do dip directly after lift then rest for 2 minutes. 65/65/75 –this was a very hard WOD!…

  • Yes, I did Meet Bob Harper
