Stay Focused on The Problem, Not The Person
I had trouble sleeping last night — I was all tight and uncomfortable and my mind was full of thoughts. 3A is a rough time to start thinking about all the things that are on your mind, like the topic of saying things you don’t mean because you are hurt or angry. Or saying things…

A Return to Running Shoes
Super fun night last night for a great cause. A bunch of the CrossFit Impavidus crew came out and we laughed, danced and a few, drank. I had one drink — and let it rest. Yesterday, I did do the 12.2 workout but stuck with the 30 reps to get me a score. It’s not…

All About the Run Workout
Ahh Fall is in the air. Have I mentioned how much I love the cooler temperatures! Work is busy, home is busy, I am busy — it’s good all around. It’s funny how feelings can change so quickly. Leading up to school back in session, I was stressed out. I weathered the storm, and now…

Hang Cleans and a Run — A Great Start to Monday
It was tough getting back into the swing of things including getting up this morning. I really do believe not eating paleo has affected my sleeping. I have been waking up around 3a and tossing and turning for a bit before I fall back asleep. I hate that feeling of wanting to sleep but not…

Brambleton Ribbon Run 5K Race
Great day for a race don’t you think? Well — to be honest, it was a bit colder than I would have liked but the race is for a great cause, so I can put up with it. The race started at 730A — and I got there around 630 to help the CrossFit Impavidus…

Clean Jerks
Tomorrow – I am doing my 2nd 5k of the spring at the Brambleton Ribbon Run 5K with Team Ashburn CrossFit Impavidus! It’s a great way to get out there, give back for a good cause, and feel like you are a part of something bigger. Try one — you will see what I mean! Heck,…

A San Francisco Run
As promised – I went for a run/workout in San Francisco on my trip. I felt like I was eating my way through the trip so it was only fair on my body to do a bit of exercise. My brother and I headed out together on Sunday — and I am so happy I…
