The Switch
Why Did I switch CrossFit Gyms? There are a few reasons — — The owners and I had a disagreement that got blown out of proportion and we just couldn’t get past it. I am sure they didn’t think it got blown out of proportion but I certainly did. They knew it and I knew…

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…

Thrusters make the heart grow fonder
Scott & I had an unexpected date night last night when our neighbor babysitter said Hey I can sit tonite if you want — so we went out to a steakhouse. I had grilled chicken and a sweet potato and — I also had some of their fresh baked bread. Not sure what the…

Burpee Love WOD
I knew it was time to get organized when my garage would make a perfect scene for the next episode of Hoarders! So I spent the better part of 3 hours yesterday going through the crap – organizing, sweeping, cleaning, throwing things out — it looks really good. Do you ever notice after you clean…

Community WOD
Here is a pic of me taken this morning with my new Life as Rx’d tank on my way to CrossFit. You know what I noticed after looking at this picture? I look leaner than I have ever looked–the only change I made was going to CrossFit full time. I was not the only one…

Wall Ball Shots WOD
It was one of those days when you look at the workout and say –oh that’s not so bad – but afterwards, all you want to do is lie flat on your back and never get up again. Seems like a reoccurring theme with CrossFit. I often hear from people about how short some of…
