  • Stop, Clean & Jerk

    It’s important to stop and appreciate all you have daily. This morning – I included a pic of my kids getting ready to leave for school this morning. They bring me so much joy and teach me so much every day. I can’t imagine my life without these 2 rascals and I am glad I…

  • Getting to know Kip.

    No falls this morning at Crossfit Impavidus – that was a bonus right there.  My friend Oy came to the 6A class & added an extra element of fun. And the same people are showing up to the class so it’s becoming more like home to me every day. I am really liking Coach Nick.…

  • Well hello, Fran!:Crossfit WOD

    Today I met Fran. For those familiar with Crossfit, Fran is a benchmark WOD. Long time Crossfitters all know their “fran” time. Fran: 21-15-9 65lb Thrusters Pull ups (green band assisted) Fran time: 6:35 Some caveats to my time: For some reason I had it in my head to power clean every rep in the…

  • Call me Dominque Dawes – NOT!

    After yesterday’s parallettes, my arms and shoulders are sore! I thought about taking a rest day today, but I am seriously having so much fun at Crossfit Impavidus that I wanted to get up and go.  Had I know we were going to do even more shoulder/arm work — I may have thought twice. Warmup…

  • Meet the Parallettes

    Today’s WOD was a bit different than anything I have done — Crossfit Impavidus incorporates gymnastics into their WODs which I personally think is awesome! Today I was introduced to the parallettes. My shoulders and arms are already hurting and its less than hour since we used them! Warmup 2x 20 air squats 20 Jumping…

  • Deadlifts

    Woke up this AM to a nice thick layer of ice on the cars. My car is in the garage but my brother is in town for business, so his rental was behind mine and poor Scotty –he and I scraped the ice off the rental so that i could back out. As I have…

  • Back Squats

    Headed to Crossfit Impavidus this morning. CFI is closer and the class starts 15 mins later than my old camp so I get to sleep in a bit more and still get home at the same time. That’s a win in my book — Today was strength day: Back Squat 3-3-3-3-3. What this means is…

  • Wake up to a Hang Snatch

    Woke up at 5a as usual this AM and we had about 9in on the ground. I had shoveled a bit last night so it was possible that I was going to be able to leave for boot camp this AM. Scotty told me that I shouldn’t consider it — the roads looked icy but…

  • CFI Workout

    Today was a Plumbline rest day so I headed to Crossfit Impavidus for a morning workout. I have been wanting to do an early morning WOD with some of the new group. I woke up to snow but as you know — that’s not something that will stop me. I got there and one other…

    Pump It Up: Eleven Tips for Exercising Regularly I liked the tips this post gave about exercising. Some of the tips were a bit different than the normal common sense type ones.  This time in January, there are some of you that are still going strong with the commitment to make this year the year…
