Gyms & COVID-19

We have to close our gym! What can we do about our lease obligations? What about income? 1.       Quickly consider alternative/home-based workouts. Sometimes necessity has to be the mother of invention. Consider setting up a “virtual gym” for your members who may also be stuck at home because of school closings, work closings, etc. If […]


SPEAK UP! (even if your voice shakes)

When I sat down, I was going to talk more about WAG. As ya’ll know, I’m giving WAG (Working Against Gravity) another try. I had heard that a number of the things that I commented on 2 years ago had changed dramatically. Work has been crazy the past month, so I haven’t even had a moment […]


Brave…So Brave…

“Heels over head” has never been my jam. Point of fact – I’ve actually never dived (diven? dove?) into anything. (Well, except for Love but I’m not quite sure that counts.) Even as a little kid, the idea of doing something that would put me in the “heels over head” position terrified me. I’d get […]


Hamstrung!

At Crossfit yesterday, we did good mornings, Tabatas, and a 6 minute AMRAP of pull ups. If you have no idea what I’m talking about when I say things like “AMRAP,” you might want to go back in my blog (linked HERE) and scroll down to “Crossfit lingo.” Good Mornings work your hammies. You can […]



Qalo rings

Whatza Qalo? “Qalo” (pronounced KAY-low) stands for Quality, Athletics, Love, and Outdoors. Their brand is “Commitment is Contagious” – which I love. These rings were born out of the frustration of all us married athletes who love being married, love being athletes, and are just a wee bit tired of coming home from a workout […]


Here we go!

My avocado-bodied self salutes you ;-) Today I started Pomroy again. If you somehow don’t know what I’m talking about, click HERE – it links up all (I think) of the blogs discussing what is going on in my self-centered little world (laugh). The biggest issue for me is DRINKING ENOUGH WATER. If you’re starting […]


Pomroy 101

I’ve had a few folks message me and a couple brave enough to Comment (hi Michelle! Hi Kristen!), so sounds like a few of us will be doing Pomroy together starting on Monday (thank you, Amazon Prime LOL)! As I blogged about HERE, I am re-starting after having some success, then going off the program while […]


I feel better now…(really, a shout out for BeyondTheWhiteboard.com & the “Spirit of” Crossfit)

I feel better now. Yesterday, I had a good, long rant about what an idiot I was to have signed up for a Crossfit Competition this weekend. However, today, I am feeling more philosophical about it. Why? Well, because of course the gal who is putting the Throwdown together is lovely, and talked me down […]


Competition. WHAT was I THINKING?

You know what? I WAS NOT thinking. Our Crossfit box is having a “Throwdown” this weekend. I, being friendly with the coach who is constructing this competition, said “oh, sure” I would do it. My efriend Jennifer recently did an Olympic weightlifting competition, and she also was very inspiring to watch – ESPECIALLY as she […]
