While I find my strength primarily with the barbell, there is nothing more impressive to me than women throwing around heavy things. And this week’s spotlight is no exception! I found Janelle’s blog from an article she wrote interviewing a Crossfitter, even though her passion is outside the box. Janelle is an RKC superstar and […]
Crossfit is an emotional rollercoaster, and I believe that between my drive to be a better overall athlete and my bucket list goal to complete a half marathon, I will be riding the coaster for quite a bit longer.

Wow, we are halfway through August already? Where has the summer gone? This week’s spotlight is one a blogger I have been following for a little bit of time. While most of my spotlights specialize in one fitness genre or another, what intrigued me most about this lady is that she not only has stepped […]

With an individual Crossfit competition and a team Crossfit competition coming up within the next month, I am trying to balance my kinda-half-marathon-training with extra competition training. It may not be that obvious (ha) but my heart is really in one place..
