A watch with a compass. Who wudda thunk it? The Amazing Race, Season 25 (wow!) started this week. And the team that came in far and away in first place was able to do so, because a team member had a watch with a compass on it. (SPOILER ALERT, don’t keep reading if you haven’t seen […]

Awesome Travel Pants for Tall Legs and Crossfit ‘Booty’
As many of you know, the entire first chapter of my first book is dedicated to “clearing out” your life – and being ready for anything. This past Labor Day, for me, was all about attacking the entropy that had overwhelmed parts of my life . . . which means culling through clothing, etc. ruthlessly. […]
Alison Armstrong from UnderstandingMen.com
Today, I received an email newsletter from UnderstandingMen.com. Many moons ago, I attended a number of Alison’s workshops, and in fact, back in 2008, I was honored to be the first person to interview Alison for a podcast! I wanted to share a quote found in the newsletter, because it pretty much sums up the […]
Haters…and Stalking…
Way back in the Paleolithic Era, I agreed to be part of an article in the S.F. Chronicle called something like “different ways folks exercise.” I was doing a lot of vertical gymnastics back then (a/k/a pole dancing), and they were curious about that. The photo at the left is the photo that they used. […]
Recommitment…Day 1 ;-)
I’ve fallen off a lot of things recently. Blogging. “Other” exercise (than Crossfit). Amazing Race training. Watching what I eat. I definitely have a “SQUIRREL!” mentality. I start focusing on something new – and drop the balls I’m juggling in favor of the new ones. I’ve had more work than usual, and we have had […]
Podcasts – coming soon!
My friend Jamie and I met on the Being James Bond forum. We’ve been corresponding off and on for a while, and I mentioned to him that I wanted to start podcasting again. The podcasts that I’m most likely to listen to these days are “two person” podcasts, where the podcasters play off each other. […]
June 22 – Day 330 – Crossfit Open 14.1 redux
Day 330. Wow. That’s crazy. Yesterday our Crossfit box did a 3-part WOD, the 2nd part of which was the workout we did in February for the Crossfit Open 14.1. If you care, HERE is my writeup about that experience. The workout was a 10 minute AMRAP of 30 double unders and 15 25-kg (55 […]
Girls Gone WOD Podcast FIrst Birthday
If you actually read my blog, you might want to skip this post ;-) This is really just a place to put some “time stamps” related to the Girls Gone WOD Podcast, as they asked folks to name “moments” from their first 49 episodes, for their 50th next week. Not like I’m going to […]
My Crossfit Journey: An “Old Lady’s” Guide To Crossfit & 5 Things You’ll Want To Know
I started Crossfit last year, on September 6th. As I type this post, that means I have been doing Crossfit for 9 months. In the year before starting Crossfit, I had done a few marathons and half marathons (5), some open-water swims in the S.F. Bay (brrr!), and a Olympic distance triathlon. The year before […]
