It’s the holiday season…! I love Christmas. Christmas music, Christmas lights, Christmas spirit (or replace with “holiday” if you prefer). But I am also one of these people who likes it AFTER American Thanksgiving. Really, can’t we just wait until the month is over before starting the next holiday? However, since everyone else is starting […]

I was overwhelmed by the initial interest that my #WODSwap post got with over 40 people interested in the US, and many more from outside! Because of this, I am going to try and offer this up to anyone in the world! HOWEVER.. if you are the only one in your country, there is a […]

Okay, so this is an idea I have been throwing around for a while and thought I may as well jump on it and see how it goes! Sparked by the idea of dropping in at boxes while traveling, and by the awesome connections I’ve made via social networking with Crossfitters, I wanted to find […]

But none of those day-long competitions full of multiple WODs could compare to the simplicity and mental exhaustion that […]

Confession time. Despite me being on board with telling people to throw out the scale and that gaining weight when working out doesn’t matter, I still weigh myself quite regularly.
