Hi, friends! I hope you had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! The weather here wasn’t great (until yesterday), so mine was pretty low-key, but still enjoyable. Here’s a quick recap! Saturday Saturday morning started bright an early with a CrossFit workout. We did “Murph,” a hero workout in honor of Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, 29, [...]

Yesterday started bright and early once again with a run in Central Park with Monica. We ran 3 miles together, but then I called it quits. I just didn’t have a ton of energy and felt blah, so I headed back to the hotel while Monica continued on for a few more miles. Breakfast On [...]

Woohoo! I met my goal and survived Open WOD 13.4! As I mentioned in my previous post, 95 pounds (the prescribed weight for this workout) for clean and jerk was pretty close to my 1RM, so my goal for 13.4 was to make it through the set of 12 clean and jerks and toes-to-bar. I thought 60 [...]

I was all about the “step-up” for my second attempt at Open WOD 13.2. (Thank you for all of your helpful suggestions, by the way!) I did it right from the beginning of the workout, and it definitely proved to be a smart strategy for me. 3…2…1…GO! Photo credit: Sean Burns During 13.2, I learned [...]
