If you do not know already from my posting it in all social media channels multiple times, I am the sexier half of a podcast called Single and Sweaty with Alex of Distance Obsessed. I have been having a blast recording with him, though before Episode 7, we had never  met face to face! This […]

Since workouts 14.1 […]

I have always been thin, so it was a bit of a surprise when I started gaining weight with Crossfit. I was born a preemie almost two months early, wore a size 4 in second grade, and didn’t start my period until just before I started high school. In high school I lived on macaroni, […]

What I love most about blogging is not only to have a way to share my success stories with the internet world, but also hope that someone can relate to what I have to say and maybe take it to heart. I had some great feedback on my last post about my pre-14.2 thoughts, which […]

I’ve mentioned time and time again that I am an emotional person, and when it comes to Crossfit and lifting, there is  no exception. I have been focusing on trusting the programming at my box and looking at each workout individually rather than putting an emphasis on how heavy I am lifting today compared to […]

Now that I have competed a few times, I think I have a pretty good handle on what you should pack for a Crossfit competition.
