  • Boot Camp: Inspiring, Supportive and Fun!

    Another Forced Rest day. In some ways I feel more tired now that I am getting more sleep but I am enjoying the lack of rushing around in the AM. Not enjoying it enough to stop so no worries. It’s nice to take a short break – I am hoping it will reinvigorate me both…

  • Overtraining Syndrome and Athletes

    Overtraining Syndrome – Overtraining Syndrome and Athletes. I have decided to take a few days off completely this week and maybe the rest of the week to let my body recover. I have not felt right since before the race but post race and the strep bug – my body is wiped out. I did…

  • It’s a Struggle

    I’m struggling. My weight is up, my body fat is up – my motivation and morale are low. It’s very frustrating and depressing. I am not going to lie about it – it sucks! I don’t know what’s going on inside of me — I am trying to reignite the fire but it’s a struggle……

  • Lunges vs Me

    Once again I meet up with my nemesis – the walking lunge but with a twist — pressing the 20lb dumbbells over your head. I think this is probably one of my very very very LEAST favorite exercises and then to have to do it for 50 yards – that’s just overkill and mean. Mikey…

  • Another fine Wednesday

    Good Morning Folks! It’s another fine Wednesday here in Ashburn — mid way thru the week — starting to feel closer to my pre-strep self.  Had a pretty decent workout today — I did go down in weight in the PT station — to 65lbs.  It was still challenging but I feel weak still.  Mikey…

  • A Nice Surprise – a cool morning!

    It was a pleasant morning with temps in the 60s. What a nice surprise – made the workout that much easier — NOT! But, it’s done and I can start my day. Warmup side shuffle push-ups checkpoints skip jumps Core x2 partner ball toss 14lb dynamax ball hold and freeze 25 partner double high five…

  • Chomping at the bit

    Can you tell I am chomping at the bit to get back to my workouts — Here is a great Adidas Commercial for Crossfit. CrossFit Games 2010 Adidas

  • What is Crossfit?

    Although my boot camp is not a Crossfit certified program, it is VERY similar to what I do every day. – High Intensity Training. Moving and Fitness in a real world, use way. I haven’t worked out in 2.5 days and seeing this video totally has me wanting to get out there and do it. …

  • Each day, start again

    I should have listened to my inner voice this AM – I got up and headed to group training. I got through one round of the routine and I realized – I feel like shit and do not want to be there. So I left.  I was not going to let myself be pressured by…

  • Success any way you look at it today!

    I think you will start to notice a theme in my posts this summer — I am not particularly at my best working in this heat and humidity. I just am not working at my peak level – and my sinus infection seems to be clearing out – which is not necessarily the greatest experience……
