Good morning! Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Mine was really great—Saturday was pretty low-key, but Sunday was a lot more active. I don’t think I stopped moved all day yesterday! I woke up Sunday morning and immediately headed to Open Gym at CrossFit to work on my rowing. The first workout of the team [...]

Heyyyyyy! I hope you’re having a relaxing weekend like my pug friend, Ping! Saturday was a really nice day for me. It was a mix of fun and relaxation. I woke up, ate breakfast, and went to CrossFit (WOD: rowing + Thrusters = killer). On my way home from CrossFit, I hit up the grocery [...]

Happy Friday! Here’s some randomness to start your day! Today is National Donut Day! Yay! Celebrate with a free donut from Dunkin Donuts or Krispy Kreme! Obviously, I needed to join in the celebration. I balanced out my chocolate-frosted sprinkle donut with some nutritious green juice this morning.

Good morning! Happy Hump Day! Breakfast Yesterday, I started my day with my favorite breakfast of the moment: peanut butter and banana on gluten-free toast with freshly pressed green juice. I would honestly eat this breakfast every day if I could! Delish! While I was eating breakfast, I read this month’s issue of Health and [...]

After Saturday’s race, I was bumming pretty hard. I was upset with myself, frustrated with my health, and just plain old discouraged because my running wasn’t what it used to be. Thankfully, I had two wonderful runner friends, who assured me I could get back to where I used to be with some hard work. [...]

back squat CrossFit

After my not-so-great performance at the ZOOMA 10K, yesterday’s CrossFit workout was exactly what I needed to feel better. Workout After a warm-up (squats and deadlifts), we went right into the Strength part of class, which was 35 minutes to find our 1RM. I partnered with Kerrie, and I worked my way up to 195 [...]
