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. I had a chance to re-test my packing skills this past weekend when I competed in my first partner competition, which happened to be the boost that I needed while recovering […]

The Sunday before Thanksgiving I was doing an extra workout to prep for an upcoming partner competition. The last workout of the day was simple: eight minutes to establish a max weight that the female partner could squat clean, followed by the male partner squat-snatching that same weight.

I am an emotional being… ..which has turned me into an even more emotional athlete. I have had countless runs that are full of tears. I have stressed myself out crazy in WODs to the point I think I have self-induced panic attacks, working myself up to the point that I not only cry but […]

I have an issue with comparing myself to others. I think it spawns from growing up with a need to be the best. I never had an ounce of athletic ability in grade school or high school, but man, was I smart. I would be that girl who didn’t have to study to get straight […]

I had this post drafted in my head before I even went to workout today. I was going to title it, “What a Difference Seven Months Makes,” or “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger,” or something along those lines. The post would start with me bragging about how much progress I have made in the past year […]

Earlier this year, I signed up for my second ever 10k, a St. Patrick’s themed “ShamRock ‘n Roll.” Upon registering for the event, the sponsoring company enticed additional registrants with a promise a “Triple Crown” medal, an honor only for those who completed all three sponsored races. I like bling. And definitely like extra bling. […]
