Happy Memorial Day! I had grand plans of getting up at 7 this morning, blogging, going to yoga, working a bit and then pool partying for the rest of the day. Annnnddd then I slept until 9 a.m. which ...
Today I completed a well-known CrossFit hero WOD for the first time. “Murph” is one of the workouts that has quite a big reputation and you hear it referenced all the time…mostly in...
Hi! Yay for Friday! Yay for a long weekend! I have a ton going on right now and wasn’t feeling very inspired about today’s post. I decided to ask on Facebook what you guys wanted me to bl...
I did something last night that I haven’t done in 10 years. (source – I was not that close to the stage.) I went to a Dave Matthews Band concert. I actually cannot believe that it’s...
I’m a little less than one month out from my first mud run and I’m doing my best to get prepared for it. I don’t know if you really can prepare for a three-mile run full of unknown ...
I’m happy to report that my Tuesday outlook has been much sunnier than my Monday mood. The day started off on a good note when I decided to sleep until 7 a.m. rather than get up in the five o...
Hello and happy Monday. I was grumpy for the majority of the day. I finally snapped out of it when I decided to stop working at 4:30 and take my grumpiness out on a hard workout. Lifting heavy things...
It’s been a perfect Sunday. All play, no work. Pink (no green added) smoothie for breakfast before teaching yoga (that does not count as work…it’s play!). Strawberries, banana, pine...
I spent my Saturday morning trying out a new workout – Insanity! Earlier this week I received an email from the local marketing manager for Powerade Zero. She invited me to attend and blog abou...
I have crossed the line into full-out “go mode.” Most people would say that I’m in go mode all of the time due to my seeming inability to slow down and propensity to take on as much...
Breakfast has been orange the past couple of mornings. Sierra Tweeted about having pumpkin oat bran for breakfast yesterday morning and it inspired me to reach into the depths of my pantry and pull o...
Hey, hey! I hope everyone had a great day. Things are moving full speed ahead over here and every day I get more and more excited about all the amazing things that are happening at Metro. I know I me...
I’m short on time but full of inspiration. You’re going to have to be patient with me over the next few weeks because so much of my attention is focused on work and opening our new locati...
I did manage to finally peel myself off the couch and do something last night. I am a little sore from yesterday’s Fight Gone Bad workout but it’s not nearly as bad as I anticipated. Firs...
Uh…I’m kind of gross right now. I am sitting on the couch unshowered after nearly dying at a CrossFit event this afternoon. I came home with intentions of showering and then started clean...
Happy Friday! I have to admit that my morning was a little lazier than planned. I decided to forgo early yoga in favor of taking the 7 a.m. CrossFit class at the gym…and then proceeded to sleep...
For a long time, “runner” was one of the main ways I identified myself but over the past couple of years my focus has drifted away from running and towards yoga and strength training. While I really ...
I wasn’t the only one having a rough morning yesterday. Sullie seemed to be in quite a funk too. I came home at lunch and gave her lots of love. We cheered each other up. Puppy cuddles (especia...
I had a horrible ashtanga practice this morning. I could blame it on my back being tight or on being pressed for time but the real issue was what was going on in my head. That said, I’m not rea...
Go figure that the one day that I can sleep until 8 a.m. I wake up at 6:30. Despite not going to sleep until almost 12:30 on Saturday night, I was wide awake early on Sunday morning. The next thing I...
I hope everyone is having a fun Cinco De Mayo/Derby Day. How awesome that they both fell on the same Saturday! I would love to attend the Kentucky Derby one year and rock a gigantic hat and cute dres...
Happy Friday! Dealing with smelly workout clothes is a topic that I’ve been meaning to cover for quite some time. When I first started practicing yoga it seemed like I could never get my clothe...
Fact: I suck at wall balls. And I don’t just mean that they’re hard and I don’t like doing them…I mean that I physically cannot perform them correctly. Rather than an effortle...
Yesterday was a great day. Around 9 a.m. UPS delivered a big heavy box to my doorstep. I opened it to discover more avocados than I know what to do with. Heaven! Chiquita is moving their global headq...
Have you ever found yourself in your car…crying…alone? I’m definitely a car crier. There’s something about the solitude of driving and the feeling of not being in any one plac...
It seems like every day I hear about a new pregnancy or baby being born. I guess that’s just the stage of life that I’m in right now. I attended a baby shower for Caitlin yesterday and th...
It’s been a pretty interesting weekend over here, although I think random would be a more appropriate term for it. Friday night started off normal enough. I did a really tough CrossFit class in...
Happy, happy, happy Friday! Although I can’t believe it’s already Friday! When I travel on the weekends and then jump back into a busy week, time seems to fly. I’m looking forward t...
The weather is a little crazy here in Charlotte today. I awoke to sunshine, a cool breeze and blue skies and immediately set off on a beautiful three mile run with Sullie. By the time I’d showe...
I was excited to receive your great feedback on my CrossFit Endurance seminar post. I am looking forward to covering some of the topics in depth that I mentioned. I’m busy, busy today so I̵...
