The 2013 CrossFit Games are Here! Huzzah!

I did end up getting in a workout yesterday and it was a good one. The weather yesterday was amazing –high of 80 which made working out easier on the ole lungs for sure! It was a longer WOD with some mobility at the end — 8-1-8 – a ladder, so you go up down…

Tricks of the Trade

Nothing … and that’s the problem. A new, similar restaurant moved into town. A little more expensive, but cleaner, and with better service and better food.…

The Right Road

We all want progress, but if you’re on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive.-C. S. Lewis I love Highbar CrossFit. Great coaching combined with working out with friends makes getting up in the morning…

It’s not just about Positive Thoughts

I love a good quote! It’s a rest day for me and it’s hotter than Hades outside. Not a lot to say today – my day job has me busy this week.

Right Around The Corner

I had such a good morning of training with the guys at Highbar. It’s a new week as I mentioned, so we are working on different skills and today was the clean. And guess what? I actually identified something that is going to help me improve my overall clean thanks to Coach Dan. It was…
