So.. I don’t want my only memories posted of the RAID games to be the negative. In all reality, I had a blast. There was just a small portion of it that truly pissed me off, which is outlined quite thoroughly in my last post, and I really don’t even want to talk about it…
DetailsLots of people have asked about my weekend and how I did at the competition. I don’t like to complain, but I don’t like to lie either. Like I posted yesterday, I am so thankful for good friends. Without those people around the last two days, I would’ve had a really miserable time and I…
DetailsBadger was a Badass, if this was his WOD! Good lord. So I’ve never done Hero Badger before, and if I was given the opportunity before, I probably would’ve skipped it as soon as I saw the 3 rounds of 800m. BUT.. yesterday I was like, shiiiit.. I’ll just take my headphones for the run!…
DetailsA blog follower of mine emailed me and sent me a great article. Cancer is something that hits home for me, as my Dad and maternal grandmother both passed away from complications due to its awfulness. I wonder now if my Dad could’ve lived a healthier life had he practiced better diet and exercise habits.…

DetailsIt has become a habit of mine to have a few pieces of dark chocolate every night, and then I feel like shit, and wish I hadn’t. And the next day, I hang my head in shame and say, wtf, why can’t I just skip it? And sure enough, that evening, I’m like screw it!…
DetailsToday I punished myself for not keeping up with the 100 Day Burpee Challenge I agreed to do… and played catch up.. Since I haven’t done my burpees in over a week or so, we determined that I had around 150 of them to do. Shannon had the same number to do, as well, so…
DetailsMy pulse rate has always been high.. as in, 80-90 for my resting heart rate. My blood pressure is always normal to low, and my cholesterol is lower than normal, as well. Everyone’s always like, omg you use so much salt, blah blah blah! And those are my responses.. my shit’s low, go away! BUT…
DetailsSooo like I said.. I needed to just suck it up and go yesterday, and I did! And guess what? It was awesome, I felt great, and I was really glad I went. Our WOD was Nasty Girls.. a benchmark WOD that I first did back in August.. AND… how’s this for improvement??? Check it..…
DetailsWas up at 7a this morning.. skipped 6a alarm clock and said no to early morning CrossFit, which normally I love. I was dragging because I knew I had a dentist appointment at 11 am, and while my teeth are always fine, and I never have any issues, my gums are always so sore afterwards.…
