Crossfit is an emotional rollercoaster, and I believe that between my drive to be a better overall athlete and my bucket list goal to complete a half marathon, I will be riding the coaster for quite a bit longer. Prior to my competition last Saturday, my prior two Saturdays started off with miserable training runs, […]

From my recent post about reasons why you should compete in a Crossfit Competition, one of my top selling points is that you find out that you are capable of doing things that you never thought you were able to do before. For me, the adrenaline and the competition atmosphere is so overwhelming in the […]

I have been doing Crossfit consistently 4-6x a week since February and I will not deny for a minute that there has been progress both physically and mentally. I have been able to complete WODs that look impossible on the whiteboard and complete lifts at weights I would never imagine being able to do. In […]

I will be the first person to scold others at the box for not taking proper rest days. I have historically done no more than two, maybe three, days in a row of Crossfit, usually taking off every Wednesday or Thursday and Sunday. I know rest and recovery is just as important as the workouts […]

For every action, there is an opposite, but equal, reaction. What goes up must come down. The only way to go from here is up. So many cliché phrases that can ride the emotional roller coaster of Crossfit. Last week, my grueling attempt at “The Seven” left me hurt mentally and physically, but for my […]

I can equate Crossfit to so many things that have nothing to with it just being a workout. It is so much more than that. Some may call it a cult, a sport, a lifestyle. But for me, this week’s definition: an emotional roller coaster.
