Penalty Burpees!

The day started out kinda rough with one heckavu brutal workout. I think part of the issue might be that I am feeling puny again after a week of crappy holiday eating. I had the usual turkey and mashed potatoes but also ate lots of cornbread, pie, … [Continue reading]

Back After Illness With Bruises to Prove It

I ended up getting the cold late last week that cycled through all my kids. I managed to fight it off for a while but finally succumbed and ended up taking almost a week off from CrossFit classes. Ugh! Taking time off typically messes with my head. … [Continue reading]

Great Deal on Shape Magazine

Finally Nailed That L Sit – Sort of
