  • Burnout: A Break Can Re-inspire

    While I love boxing, I find that I am missing lifting big time. There is something about lifting a barbell that speaks to me. It’s been almost seven months since I have lifted consistently and my shoulders have all but recovered. To help satisfy my lifting bug, I joined CrossFit Ashburn. I have decided that…

  • Make Every Day Count

    Another rest day is here! Hurray. I am sore from all the work this week which was made harder by all the crap food I ate. Birthday weeks are hard!!! Here are some interesting things I have come across this week around the web: ‘I Drank the CrossFit Kool-Aid’ The Bob Harper talks about how…

Should be very interesting… Reebok on a mission to get its…

  • Self Magazine talks CrossFit Games

    Meet the “Fittest Female On Earth” Self Magazine isn’t exactly the role model of fitness/health/wellness magazines, but any press about CrossFit and how it can help set you on a path to wellness is good press. The toughest part of the weekend- not knowing what’s in store. CrossFit is a strength and conditioning program that develops competence…

  • Going Light on the Lady

    I woke up with a sore throat so when I woke up this morning, I had some hot lemon tea so I could be ready for a workout. And today’s workout was all kinds of suck – as my fellow athlete Jon likes to say. It was one of the Girls of CrossFit – Nancy.…
