  • Handstand Push Ups are Like being a kid again..

    The end of the school year is stressful. Not only do you have to do remember all the school related stuff, for me – I have the added pressure of finding and scheduling camps and payments for camps. It also is a super busy time at work — we are an education company so the…

  • 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…

  • CrossFit Impavidus Weekend Workout

    Memorial Day weekend is here! I headed to CrossFit Impavidus for their free weekend workout. I have said this before but I like the open community workouts because I get to see some of the people that go to CFI at other times during the week. I am a 6A girl, so I rarely get…

  • Strength Day Workout

    I am so mentally ready for this weekend. I have been under a lot of stress at work – not in a bad way, just in a way too much work to do way. I haven’t been sleeping well and I have noticed my eating has definitely been not what it should be — I…

  • Hitting my stride

    Today was one of those days when you just get the rhythm of a particular exercise and you kick ass doing it. Normally I’m not a super efficient runner nor a fast one — but I felt my stride when we did our 800m warm up this morning and it carried through the WOD as…

  • CrossFit WOD: Cindy

    I went a little blonde crazy yesterday. I have been too busy (aka lazy) to get my hair done lately but finally bit the bullet and took care of it yesterday evening.  While I was there, my stylist was telling me her brother in law is a war veteran and loves CrossFit. One thing she…

  • Fran WOD

    It was a super busy weekend — Half the family went to the Joint Services Air Show and Hannah and I went to the Reston Arts Fair — and then we had laser tag parties, CrossFit, CrossFit Kids — laundry, cleaning, errands — no down time at all this weekend. I’m going to share some…

  • Double Unders

    I realized on my way to a Girl Scout bridging ceremony how freakin tired I was yesterday. Little miss ‘Kelly’ took all the energy I had so by the end of the day, all i wanted to do is go to bed. But as fellow parents know – when you work full time during the…

  • CrossFit Girl: Kelly

    Those girls of CrossFit are Nasty.  The last time I met Kelly was in February — and for some reason today’s meeting did not go as well as our last – by 40seconds. That’s not acceptable! But holy hotdog – this WOD was tough. 5 rounds – keep moving – don’t stop – go go…
