In an effort to help revitalize my Pinterest life, I have joined Lindsay over at The Lean Green Bean for her fourth “Pin It Party”!

All bloggers are welcome to participate! Here’s what you do:

Round up 5 blog posts you’ve written that you would like to see on Pinterest.
Make sure there is a nice, pinnable image or photo included in each post.
Write a short post featuring the posts you chose- ie, put 5 nice images & links to the posts all in one place, along with a short description of each post.
On Thursday, publish your post, then visit The Bean and add your post to the linkup! (If you’re just reading this today and still want to participate, just publish in the next few days…the linkup open for about a week!)

Here are some of my favorite posts that I wrote lately. Check them out and pin if you found them useful!

Crossfit for Dummies

Confused about what all of those abbreviations mean in Crossfit? Here is a breakdown of some of the most commonly used terms.

8 Reasons to Compete in a Crossfit Competition

Unsure if competing in a Crossfit competition is right for you? I recommend competing no matter what skill level you are at or length of time that you have been doing Crossfit.

What Should I Pack for a Crossfit Competition?

Prepping for a Crossfit competition? I share my tips on what to pack so the only thing you need to worry about on competition day is the competition itself.

Progress is Not in the Pooch

Ever feel that you are being judged by what your abs look like? I reflect on my progress and realize that my progress cannot be measured my “pooch.”

Confessions of a Non-Runner Running a Half Marathon

Despite my commitment to Crossfit, I challenged myself this past year to run a half marathon and learned some surprising things along the way.

Take a minute and pin any of these if you found them useful! Leave a comment with a link to one of your favorite Pinterest posts or board and I will follow you back!

Don’t forget I also have a super cute giveaway going on right now for a Fran’s Closet RX tank or tee, ending February 5!

Great posts! You are so right about progress and the pooch! I am an elite athlete, who runs 70 miles a week, and I still have a little pooch! It is all about strength and working with what genetics we have. Love who you are 🙂

Came from the Pinterest party … I’ll admit, I’ve heard all the crossfit hoopla but still don’t totally understand what it is all about. Checking out and pinning your “CrossFit for Dummies” … not committing to actually TRYING it, but I’ll read about it!

Following you on FB now too 🙂

~jenniferlynn January 30, 2014 at 2:52 pm: Welcome, Jen!!

My post is more on what all the terms mean.. but should do one about what is really is all about! Crossfit is awesome! 🙂
