  • 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

  • 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……

  • Starting it off right…

    Group training day – small group- 2 rounds of weight training and then a quick 2 station workout to end it.  I am sore from earlier this week boot camps which makes group that much harder — it’s a good sore but it’s sore nonetheless! warmup 200m run core x2 stability ball crunches stability ball…

  • Oh what a beautiful morning…

    Great Morning – cooler than it has been, the sunrise was this beautiful pink color. As tired as I was, it was good to start back into the swing of things… Warmup x 2: rockette kicks forward lunges bounding backpeddle Core mountain climbers/heel to elbow straight leg/crunch lifts (i have no clue what these are…

  • Re-energizing

    I think sometimes you don’t realize that actually taking a break from your workout for a few days really does your body good — I headed to the gym and had a great workout. I haven’t had a great workout like that in a very long time and it was really energizing. I have been…

  • What happened to the breeze?

    There was a nice breeze when we started the workout today, but for some reason – it quickly disappeared right after the warm up! I wonder why?? Because it’s friggin HOT! We had a late start today so we only did one round of warm ups but the rest was business as usual – and…

  • Call me Aunty Steph!

    I went for a short run yesterday morning on the trail. I did about 2 or so miles but with the heat and humidity, it felt more like 5 or 6. I ended up walking for the last part but at least I got it in. Great workout today although it was already a hot…

  • Hot, Hot, and more Hot

    I’m sore from the lunges yesterday so I was grunting and groaning a lot today. Oh and did I mention it was hot! This will be a common theme summer long – Hot, Hot, and more Hot. I can’t imagine how it is for those that go in the afternoon camps. There is no shade…

  • Here’s to Improvement

    I have said this before – getting up can be tough and this morning was no exception. That alarm went off and my brain searched for a reason to turn it off and roll over, but it couldn’t find any excuse good enough – it is so automatic now, I can’t even find a good…

  • One doozy of a workout!

    I loved today’s workout although it was a really tough one. Combine the heat and the workout = one doozy of a morning workout! Warmup x 2 high knees forward lunges heel to butt springs Core x 2 hip missions core twists up and down – (legs and shoulders up and you twist, twist, twist…
