Crossfit Games Open Workout 13.3 – Parts 1 and 2

by ~jenniferlynn on March 24, 2013

Waiting for the Crossfit Games Open workout announcements is half of the fun of this whole Open process. While I am not at all competitive, nor anywhere near the top of any list, there is still some anxiety that comes along with the announcements of the workouts and even more-so when it comes down to performing […]

If you didn’t notice from the opportunities I have had to work with SoRockShop and LatitudeGearRX, I am a sucker for fun workout tanks, or WOD gear as I like to call them. I think part of this is attributed to the importance of visual cues that I discussed before; there is just a different sort of feeling you […]

I have run across so many inspiring ladies on my blogging journey, and this week’s spotlight is of a blogger that I have been following for some time.

I don’t know about you but it seems like the more callouses, skins, and bruises I get, the cooler I feel in my Crossfit world. I talked a couple weeks ago how having a skin tear is like one of the rites of passage in Crossfit, and while I have some minor ones, none have ever bled […]

So.. it’s confession time. I tend to eat pretty strict paleo Monday to Friday, giving myself the weekends to enjoy the things I am deprived up during the week. But once in a while. I let a “cheat” slip in. Yesterday, I ate a bag of Peanut M&Ms. It was totally an accident though, so it […]

What I love most about finding my ladies to be in my lifting spotlight is when I see someone that lives and breathes fitness, and this week’s spotlight is no exception! I connected with Jenna through Sweat Pink, and this girl definitely gets her sweat on. She went from a high school athlete, to a […]

The emotional side of an injury

in Guest Posts, Running

When I hurt my back and whined and cried for a week about it, I took a step back to think about all of those people who have had long-term injuries, or injuries that took them away from their sports for an extended period of time. I was debilitated for less than two weeks and […]

When I found out that the building I work in (Detroit Renaissance Center, aka GM Headquarters, aka tallest building in Detroit) was creating a running club, I was quite intrigued. I have always loved the idea of a running support group to help encourage and motivate me, but have always been a bit lazy in […]
