Wine to Weightlifting

The RX that almost wasn’t

July 18, 2013

To keep things interesting during my Saturday morning Crossfit Endurance classes, this week our Coach opted to send us out on a trail run. This was something very new and different to me, but I have heard countless runners (and those who dislike running) say that there is nothing comparable to trail running. I had […]

Emotional Roller Coaster Part 2: “Angie”

July 10, 2013

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.

Lady Lifter Spotlight: Crystal!

June 27, 2013

I really, really, tried to make an effort to stay completely unplugged this week. I was even partially forced to, as I am out of the country to every text I send costs money, and if I date access the internet, it is quite costly. But then it stormed. And stormed some more.. so I […]
