I had this post drafted in my head before I even went to workout today. I was going to title it, “What a Difference Seven Months Makes,” or “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger,” or something along those lines. The post would start with me bragging about how much progress I have made in the past year […]

Earlier this year, I signed up for my second ever 10k, a St. Patrick’s themed “ShamRock ‘n Roll.” Upon registering for the event, the sponsoring company enticed additional registrants with a promise a “Triple Crown” medal, an honor only for those who completed all three sponsored races.

The past months have been extremely challenging, pushing my body to new limits when it comes to running, hitting milestones for distance with seven, eight, and […]

Let the lifting ladies continue! This week’s spotlight is another one that I discovered from the New Rules of Lifting group on Facebook. And maybe I am a bit biased towards her and her workouts now because she has followed a similar path to me and has found her true love in Crossfit! I enjoy reading […]

Maybe because I am not feeling as “aesthetically fit” as I was a month or two ago, I am becoming a bit more judgmental on how women are choosing to boast progress in their fitness. While I’m usually the last person to have haters, I posted a comment in a female-focused lifting group on Facebook […]
