14-1-v-14-2-i-cant-do-that-anyway

You know, at some point I will catch up and talk about Hawaii, post photos (including those from 14.1), etc. But right now it’s time to discuss my feelings about 14.2. Crossfit Open 14.2 involves Overhead Squats and Chest-To-Bar pullups. It doesn’t mat …

So, as all you (non-existent LOL) readers know, I started at my Crossfit box via a Groupon. Well – kind of. I had tried Crossfit out before heading off to my final marathon of the season last year (in Vienna in May), but HATED the way I was treated (at …

day-161-february-13-not-that-kind-of-poi

SO last night Moddie and I went to a fire dance “training class” at Temple of Poi in San Francisco. It was pretty hilarious. Basically you’re twirling around these weighted bags, “practicing” moves. (We didn’t use fire – God forbid! – if you do that yo …
