And it’s another Sweaty Sunday workout recap! This week I beat myself up. Physically and mentally, just drained! Since I started doing the Crossfit Open Workouts (Check out 13.1, 13.2, 13.3, and 13.4), my desire and drive to become a better athlete has seriously increased ten fold. I don’t just want to go to Crossfit. […]

Running and I have a love-hate relationship. I have mentioned before that it is just one of those things that makes me feel so weak when I do it, and makes me feel that all of the hard work that I put in training for other things is useless. But in order to be a […]

I have a bit of an issue that has become more of a problem since I ran the Turkey Trot 10k. I think I have a runner’s bug. Not so much a runner’s bug, but a racing bug. I will tell you all day long that I do not like running. I get frustrated, and it […]
While I have only been doing Crossfit for a few months, I have forever been inspired by those ladies that have done it for quite some time. One of the first bloggers I ever followed was Fabulous in Fayetteville, as this chick wears Lulu, does Crossfit, eats only recipes from PaleOMG and Well Fed, does […]
For those new readers to the blog, every week I spotlight a fellow lady lifter who, like me, loves lifting and encouraging other women to lift! I started following Jacki’s blog a few months back, and I am truly inspired by all that this woman does! Jacki is running the #nogirlypushups challenge with Alex and […]
Have you ever used arm sleeves when running? Are you ever unsure how to layer if you might get too warm but do not want to carry around a bulky jacket or gloves? I found an awesome Michigan-based company called Treadwear that has a solution to this problem! This review is has been in the […]

I have decided to commit to Crossfit a minimum 4x a week (Two Crossfit WOD classes, two Crossfit Endurance classes, with a likely 5th day reserved for strict Olympic lifting sessions). The tentative schedule, which has been working for the past couple weeks is: I was quite pleased to find out that my box offers not only typical […]
As part of Sweat Pink I am constantly being exposed to new ladies in all levels of athleticism and strength, and this week’s spotlight is no exception! I met Kelsey through the Sweat Pink network and this girl just goes non-stop! From a high school volleyball player, to a speedy half marathoner, Kelsey is staying […]
