When I set up my goals for November, I focused on five main categories: blog, food, lifting, cardio, and other. Let’s […]

Third day of Crossfit and gettin’ all fancy

December 2, 2012

This week marked the official third day of my Crossfit introductory sessions (read about days one and two here), and I will admit that the whole concept still scares me. I went to the 6:30 class which was scheduled for the “new” people, and waited for the rest of the class to show up. Nope, it was […]

After a long month of training, I finally am able to check another goal off my list – Complete a 10k! Before my last 5k, I have always had issues after my runs. I would feel exhausted, sick, miserable. I would need to take at least two days of rest to recover from the three […]
