Mal’s 30th Birthday
Hooray! Mal’s (first) birthday celebration was a success! It started with 30 beers, which he drank all at once. Not surprisingly, he got sick, so we ended up in the emergency room to get his stomach pumped. Ok, that’s a total lie. None of that happened, except the part about me giving him 30 beers.
What to Pack for a 10-Day Vacation
Hi, friends! Remember my 10-Day Packing Challenge? If not, I basically tried to get all of this: Into these two carry-ons: I eventually made it happen, but it was quite the packing challenge! What I packed for my vacation.
Core Fusion Kicked My Butt
Holy moly. What a workout. I totally got my butt kicked at a Core Fusion class this morning. And I still don’t know what happened to me. ”” This morning, I was invited by the folks at Exhale to attend a complimentary Core Fusion Barre class at their Back Bay location.
Fitness Blogger Meet & Tweet
What a cool event! Fitness did an awesome job with the Blogger Meet & Tweet! I’m so glad I had the opportunity to attend. The event was held at the Metropolitan Suite in the Chelsea/Flatiron area of New York City. Theodora got her tweet on! Ahhh! Speaker badge! So cool! 
Reebok Blogger Event
Here’s part one of my recap of the Rebook Blogger Event just in case you missed it! Ok, where did we leave off? After CrossFit, we all headed back to Reebok Headquarters to learn about some of the sneakers on the market right now as well as some of the new ones, which will debut in July.

“The Skinny Rules” Launch Party with Bob Harper
Good times in New York City! I can’t believe my trip is already over and I’m back on the Bolt Bus to Boston. I think I may have spent almost as much time on the bus as I did in the Big Apple!
Two Stories About Double Unders
Once upon a time, there were two newbie CrossFiters””let’s call them “Mal” and “Tina.” They had never done CrossFit before, so, not surprisingly, there were a bunch of skills in the CrossFit repertoire in which they wanted to become proficient.
2012 Run to Remember Half Marathon
Hooray! I did it! I got the PR I wanted so badly! The Run to Remember Half Marathon started at 7:00 this year (thank goodness since last year’s heat kicked my butt), so I picked up Elizabeth at 6:15 to drive to the race together.
2012 Northeast Regional CrossFit Games
Hi, guys! Happy Memorial Day! I spent the last two days at the Northeast Regional CrossFit Games at the Reebok Headquarters in Canton, Massachusetts. The three-day event officially kicked-off on Friday, but I only attended the Saturday and Sunday competitions. Spectating the event was a lot of fun.

What a spectacular month!! Yay, now it’s almost Birthday Month!! 🙂
Love it! Another great month in books 🙂
Reach the Beach Relay and Mal’s Birthday post are my favorite!! Looks like May was a very fun month for you, I hope June will be even better! 🙂
seriously cannot believe it is already june! I love looking back on the month and seeing how much I’ve done though – looks like you’re pretty accomplished these past four weeks!
Who is your favorite crossfit athlete? Which female athlete do you think will win?
I love Annie, and I’d love for her to win again, but she’s got some serious competition this year! I’m also rooting for Kristen Clever. For guys, I definitely want to see Austin Malleolo do well.
Thanks for the recap Tina! Can’t wait to start June off to a great start! YAY for summer!
Wow, you did have a busy month. Thanks for the inspiration!!!
I loved the Why I don’t Do diets post! There are so many people out there who are fit and at a healthy weight who eat things from all food groups, so why should someone feel the need to cut anything out? Though I definitely understand veganism/vegetarianism for humane/religious reasons! Congrats on 2 big races in one month!
You did have a great month! Nicely done 🙂
Still so jealous that you got to meet Bob!
Where has the time gone? Can’t believe it’s June already! Oh and beer is the #1 reason why I will NEVER diet 😉 I love it too much!
What an awesome month! I can’t believe it’s almost over.
all great posts, you had a busy month!
Totally crazy month!! I really enjoyed following along!
OMG…I missed the 30 beer post. (and belated happy birthday to Mal) I hope you don’t mind, but I may “borrow” that idea for my husband’s upcoming birthday. (and he’ll need MANY more beer than Mal to get to his birth number! 🙂 ) When I do, I’ll link back to you sight, so everyone knows it was your idea not mine. At least, I’ll do that when I sober up – assuming I help him with a few. KIDDING, KIDDING, they’ll be ALL his!!! Hope June is as good to you as May was.
