Crossfit Games Open Workout 13.3 – Parts 1 and 2

March 24, 2013

Waiting for the Crossfit Games Open workout announcements is half of the fun of this whole Open process. While I am not at all competitive, nor anywhere near the top of any list, there is still some anxiety that comes along with the announcements of the workouts and even more-so when it comes down to performing […]

ViewSport Review and a giveaway! (contest closed)

March 22, 2013

If you didn’t notice from the opportunities I have had to work with SoRockShop and LatitudeGearRX, I am a sucker for fun workout tanks, or WOD gear as I like to call them. I think part of this is attributed to the importance of visual cues that I discussed before; there is just a different sort of feeling you […]

Shamrock ‘n Roll 10k Recap – A Runner-in-Denial Story

March 19, 2013

Running and I have a love-hate relationship. I have mentioned before that it is just one of those things that makes me feel so weak when I do it, and makes me feel that all of the hard work that I put in training for other things is useless. But in order to be a […]

Crossfit Games Open – Workout 13.2 (aka the time I dropped a barbell on my head)

March 15, 2013

I don’t know about you but it seems like the more callouses, skins, and bruises I get, the cooler I feel in my Crossfit world. I talked a couple weeks ago how having a skin tear is like one of the rites of passage in Crossfit, and while I have some minor ones, none have ever bled […]

H.U.M.A.N Healthy Vending – Giveaway! (contest closed)

March 15, 2013

So.. it’s confession time. I tend to eat pretty strict paleo Monday to Friday, giving myself the weekends to enjoy the things I am deprived up during the week. But once in a while. I let a “cheat” slip in. Yesterday, I ate a bag of Peanut M&Ms. It was totally an accident though, so it […]

The emotional side of an injury

March 13, 2013

When I hurt my back and whined and cried for a week about it, I took a step back to think about all of those people who have had long-term injuries, or injuries that took them away from their sports for an extended period of time. I was debilitated for less than two weeks and […]

Run Club, Detroit Corktown 5k, and my battle with running

March 11, 2013

When I found out that the building I work in (Detroit Renaissance Center, aka GM Headquarters, aka tallest building in Detroit) was creating a running club, I was quite intrigued. I have always loved the idea of a running support group to help encourage and motivate me, but have always been a bit lazy in […]
