  • Sometimes you scream like a girl…

    So don’t kill me but I headed to CrossFit last night. I love Nate, one of the trainers –he’s a great coach and it’s rare that I get to workout with him since he doesn’t do the morning classes, so any chance I get to sneak out and go to his evening class — I…

  • Happy Birthday to my Beautiful Daughter!

    Today is my beautiful Hannah Bea’s 9th birthday. It is hard to believe that it has been 9 years since I took that trip to Reston Hospital that forever changed my life. I became a Mom. What a wonderful journey it is — This morning’s workout was fun — I can’t begin to tell you…

  • Overhead Squats

    I had pizza this weekend — and once again, I find out how much it’s not worth it. I mean when I am eating it — i think, totally worth it. But the after effects, not so much. But for some reason, I don’t seem to remember that when the time comes to make the…

  • Hooked on a feeling…

    Starting the morning with a workout is a great feeling — seriously. It may be hard to get up out of bed but I rarely meet anyone who doesn’t feel better after wards. It’s even great when you have to do a Tabata! workout — I am sore and wiped out, but I feel good.…

  • Hand, Hand, Foot, Foot …

    Great morning workout at CrossFit Impavidus. I think this was the most crowded it has been at the 6A class too. The box is getting in the swing of things so all is good – The lesson of the day is nothing is as simple as it appears! The WOD today doesn’t seem so bad…

  • Meeting the Pistol Squat

    Before I post my normal workout stuff- I want to take a minute to cheer on my beloved Arizona Wildcats as they head to the Sweet 16. Yesterday’s game was a nail biter and they pulled it off! Bear Down Arizona! Notice the A hat in the pic to the left! It’s a rainy morning…

  • Get Ready for the Weekend Workout!

    Good Morning Folks! Spring is so close I can feel it. Today it’s supposed to be in the 70s here in Northern VA – I love this time of year around here. The signs of spring are all around and the cherry blossoms will soon be in bloom. It really is one of the best…

  • Attempting to Conquer the Cartwheel

    Happy St. Patty’s Day to all my Irish Friends! I gotta say – I have been feeling so great about life. I feel empowered and in charge & I don’t know what is so different in me that it’s causing me to feel this way, but I feel great energy around me. Good things are…

  • Gymnastics Fun at CrossFit Impavidus

    When people ask me why I get up so early to workout — it’s because of days like today at CrossFit. We did a bunch of gymnastics. There is something about learning how to do some of the things I struggled with as a kid that makes me giddy.  Where else can you go as…
