Keep Moving
Had a great weekend — Scott’s dad and his g/f Patty came for a visit and we got to celebrate Father’s day with three generations of Hoaglunds.

Taking Your Fitness Seriously
I volunteered on Saturday for the CrossFit Mid-Atlantic Regionals in Landover, Maryland for the morning and then spent a few hours helping my friends at Power Supply sell their tasty food to spectators. It was great to see friends I don’t get to see often — and see the peak CrossFit athletes in action. Watching them…

There is a world outside of the Cyber World
I had so much fun working out this AM because my friend Liz came and joined me! I am off of work today and didn’t have to get up for the 6A but had to because I didn’t want to miss working out with her! We had so much fun — Reunited and it feels…
