Stride

It’s only Tuesday and my body is already like WTF. Last night’s workout was madness. Madnessssss!!! There was a 35 minute timecap, and I am proud to report that I got that shit done in just over 33 minutes. I did scale and I walked some of the running bc my heel was starting to talk, … Continue reading

5 Miles in

On January 1st it started–90 miles run or walked, in 90 days. On the first day I slept in and honestly avoided it for as long as I could. Then my husband and I went to Body Evolution and knocked it out. Then I finished it off with a 1,000m row. I felt good but … Continue reading

Year in Review

2014 was an interesting year for me, it taught me about my limits, tested my resolve, I learned a bunch of new recipes and I tried to transform my eating. I have to say I wasn’t prepared for the push-back I got from my body with all its injuries and that was tough for me. … Continue reading

GOALS {2014 Edition}

Buckle up beotches! I have been doing a lot of thinking about my physical abilities and where I want to go for 2014. I have been thinking about this for a good 6 weeks and consulting with my trainers and everything. I have been thinking about my food and have experimented over the past 10 … Continue reading

Starting a Love Affair

Something hit me last week during a WOD where there was a “cool down” of a mile run–I was starting to like running. When did this happen? And why? Don’t get me wrong, I am still the slowest runner you have met. I am not trying to be modest. When I was running, I realized … Continue reading

Walk Out

Yesterday I did something I have never done before–I went into my box*, looked at the WOD** and went home. It was a moment of instant frustration and anger plus intimidation–to the point that I didn’t think clearly, got in my car and went on my way. So what happened? What could this WOD have … Continue reading

Pain thy Name is…

“Daniel“. Wow. As I write this, my calf muscles are pissed and expressing themselves by being tighter than a virgin on prom night. I did something outside my box–I did a Hero WOD. What is this?? Oh let’s just say it’s a workout that is designed to bring you lots of pain and make you … Continue reading

Day of Personal Records!!

Day two of CrossFit and it was pretty fantastic! I also got a massage today and my muscles were so tight from the workout on Monday that she didn’t get to finish my body. Seriously!! That has never happened. I am highly amused and I felt we got a lot worked out in this massage. … Continue reading

First Class = New Things!

Hayley, Debbie and I did it! We joined CrossFit and not only survived, but thrived! I would like to express how much the warm up sucked. Running in 95 degree heat is not fun. I did it, I didn’t die, but I struggled. Thus my first observation: warm ups are harder in crossfit. So here … Continue reading

Going Back

Today I had the day off (yay Memorial Day!) and my gym was closed, so I decided to go back to TransforME to see my old gang and see how I would do for an hour workout, since I am now doing much shorter (nay more intense) workouts. It was wonderful to see the ladies … Continue reading
