I’m kind of obsessed with this song: Ok, more like full on obsessed with it. It’s the best workout song, and it always gets me pumped because I love sweat. Sweat makes me crazy happy! FYI: My purple tank is the Get Back Racerback from New Balance. I love it!!! Workout Great workout at CrossFit last night. We [...]

Yay! Good times with CrossFit 781! Last night, a group of us traveled to Reebok CrossFit ONE for a special event to kick-off the first WOD of the Open. Reebok CrossFit One is basically a CrossFit mecca. It’s a 5,000 square-foot facility (twice the size of CrossFit 781), which is surrounded by playing fields and [...]

Hi, guys! Fun and exciting things are happening here today! The CrossFit Open officially started last night, so Mal and I are gearing up to do the first workout tonight, which is a 7-minute AMRAP (As Many Rounds as Possible) of Burpees. Mal loves Burpees (he actually hoped that the first WOD would include them), but I sort of hate [...]

A couple of weeks ago, Julie wrote a post about the meaning of her dog Sadie’s name. It means “Princess” and fits her adorable pup perfectly. I was curious to know what Murphy’s name means, so I looked it up online. Murphy means “sea-warrior” or “sea-battler.” Obviously, it’s the perfect name for a pug [insert [...]

We have one tired dog on our hands today! Yesterday, Murphy had a blast playing with our friends’ dog all afternoon and then Batman in the evening, so he tired himself out and has no energy today. But, in typical Murphy fashion, he doesn’t want to miss a thing around the house, so he’s been [...]

Good morning! Happy Friday! I’m still working on my post about the Woman’s Day Red Dress Awards, so, hopefully, I’ll have it up later this morning. It was an awesome event, and I have a lot to blog about! Workout I know I’ve said this a few times about WODs in the past, but “Kelly” [...]

Do you remember when I had the opportunity to interview Bob Harper and, to my surprise (and delight), more than half of his responses were about CrossFit? Well, apparently, for the past several months, Bob Harper has been training at BRICK CrossFit in Los Angeles, where he has been rockin’ the WODs and absolutely loving it. So, when the folks, who represent both BRICK and Bob [...]

Look what arrived in the mail for Murphy yesterday! A Valentine’s Day card from his pug girlfriend, Olive! Olive lives in Wisconsin, so she and Murphy have a long distance relationship and often send each other things. Murphy and Olive have never met, but I know they will someday. Until then, they’ll continue to send [...]

Open gym at CrossFit was a lot of fun this morning. I loved Helen. It was an awesome WOD. I already want to attempt it again to see if I can do it faster! I love WODs that include running—mostly because it’s a skill that I’m confident in my abilities. I’m still trying to feel out almost everything [...]

Today is off to a great start! Workout After breakfast, I had an awesome workout at CrossFit. Sundays are “open gym” days, so there isn’t a formal class, but members can come in and work on skills or do workouts that they missed during the week. Mal and I wanted to do a timed mile [...]
