  • It Takes A Community: CrossFit

    It’s amazing what a community will help with — This AM i headed off for my usual CrossFit workout and when I got there, my usual lifting partners weren’t there. I love everyone that I workout with but there are a few that are like my partners in crime — and we lift together. So…

  • Trading Halloween Candy for A Good Cause

    HALLOWEEN IS FOR SUCKERS and SKITTLES and M&Ms Last night was so fun — there is nothing like the sound of kids running around the neighborhood.

  • Life Can Be Complicated – Always

    Wake Up and Smell the Coffee I was in such a great mood the past couple of days until yesterday. I hate when something that should in theory be small fries to me takes up residence in my head and throws me off balance. Does that ever happen to you? Something someone does or doesn’t…

  • We can still LiveStrong!

    So I am sure we have all been reading a bit about Lance Armstrong the past month – with all the controversy and the stripping away of his Tour de France titles and what can only be described as his overall downfall.  Sounds like the sport of cycling is as corrupt as many other sports…

  • Routine is the Comfort Food of Life

    Routine is the Comfort Food of Life I’m back at it –It’s Monday and I got up and headed for my morning killing –oh I mean CrossFit. I had no idea what the workout was and I many times prefer it that way. It’s part of the mystery and allure of it all — I…
