…quitting makes you a quitter. So, another blog post related to the Crossfit Games. (Enough already!) This morning I couldn’t sleep, so read a blog post and responded to it. At length. Before coffee. With typos. Then I went off to do the Crossfit Games 14.2 workout. Well, not really. I went to Crossfit, was […]

14.1 v 14.2 – “I can’t 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 matter what the workout is – it has rounds over time, some rests, […]
When NOT to do the Crossfit Open… Alea iacta est
You know, I actually know myself pretty well – having been with myself 50+ years now. And when you know yourself, it’s best to LISTEN to yourself. I have joined the “Crossfit Community,” now about 5 months ago. Seems amazing it can be that long, since I still can’t do most of the movements required […]
Day 168 (February 20): People are funny….
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 another box). However, as I […]
Day 166 (February 18) – PR in cleans and double unders!
Who-hoo!!! I’ve been doing the GiveIt100.com “100 days to greatness” (as it were) for Double Unders, Handstands, and Rope Climbs. (I think you can find me if you look under the “Fitness” ones – or maybe search for Fempowerment (my user ID) or my name? Not sure how that works.) Yesterday, I posted the video […]
Day 162 (February 14th)
Today’s workout: 8 Rounds 20 Sec On 40 Sec Off Row For Cal 5 Rounds 3 Min On 1 Min Off 5 Pull Up 10 DB Snatch 50/35lb We put the ergs outside because (though foggy) it was super nice outside and felt cooped up to be rowing facing the roll-up doors! I wish I’d […]
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 you have to be wearing “fire clothing” and, of course, […]
It’s been a while! Day 160 (Feb 12)
I’ve had so many things going, that the blog has fallen by the wayside – sorry about that, non-existent readers! 🙂 One thing I want to do is to try to figure out how to “re-link” the website to iTunes. I have a ton of podcasts that I did now years ago that were tied […]
Moxie Madness – The Cave Crossfit Marin Team Rocks It!
This is Sandy, The Cave mascot and inveterate Crossfit scaler. I thought I’d do a quick writeup about The Cave Grrrrls awesome showing in San Jose at Moxie Madness! The drive down to San Jose was really “Event Zero” on Sunday. The rain deluged Marin, and was coming down so hard it was difficult to […]
quick post for 2/5 – “Death At 50”
Crossfit workout today was “Death @ 50.” 50 each of: Ring Row, Box Jump, Toes-To-Bar, kettle bell swing (I did yellow), Lunge Step, Dumbbell Push Press (I did the swirly bar), Deadlift (I did 20k – I was going to do 30k but with this my 3rd day in a row at Crossfit, it was […]
