Back to life, back to reality
Traveling while you are sick sucks. I started getting sick on Tuesday, was not much better on Weds, and by Thursday – getting on a plane was the last thing I wanted to do. But I did .. and got in to San Diego early afternoon and hung out for a bit and realized that…

Going Light on the Lady
I woke up with a sore throat so when I woke up this morning, I had some hot lemon tea so I could be ready for a workout. And today’s workout was all kinds of suck – as my fellow athlete Jon likes to say. It was one of the Girls of CrossFit – Nancy.…

Coach Nate: Doesn’t Have To be Fun, To Be Fun

Burgener warm up into a Snatch
Where else but CrossFit can you use the word Snatch and not get in trouble? It’s funny how many terms that are used in weightlifting that are traditionally seen as sexual or male-centric. I’m not even going to mention them here — we all know which ones I am talking about. What is it about…

Hot, Hot, Hot
Hot, Hot, Hot – did I mention it’s hot out there? I seriously only want to nap when it gets this hot — under a fan on high and the AC running. I lived in Arizona for many years and that’s one kind of heat. It’s hot for sure but low humidity. Here, in DC…

Getting you more Fit
What can I say? It’s scorching hot in Northern VA and it’s only 7A. Be careful out there for anyone getting some fitness in, hydrate and know the signs of overexertion and rhabdo.

I heard an interesting question on the radio this morning — If you could, would you use a life reset button? Start over, redo your life — it’s definitely a question that doesn’t have an easy answer – at least for me. There are things that happen in your life that you wish wouldn’t have,…
