  • The Couch Stretch aka Torture

    There is a stretch we do at CrossFit Impavidus that I think is a serious form of torture. It’s called the couch stretch – try it, you will quickly see why I think the way I do… Even this CF site renames it:  The Couch Stretch, aka”Dude, this hurts more than the WOD” at CrossFit…

  • Tag You’re It!

    It was a great open workout at CrossFit Impavidus today. A few new people showed up, full of energy! I can’t tell you enough how much I love the community aspect of CrossFit. Fellow athletes all cheering each other on — wanting to see results! It really is the big difference between a ‘globo-gym’ and…

  • CrossFit Games Workout

    Man, I’m sore. It was almost enough to keep me in bed this morning and skip my workout — but nope, I got up and headed to CrossFit Impavidus. It was a tough workout. So many times, I will look at what the WOD is when I first walk in to the box, and say…

  • 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…
