Amazing Race

I think I mentioned that Sunday I got up at 0-dark-00 to help the LLS Team In Training tribabies on their first Open Water triathlon. It was “Spring Forward” day, and my husband just laughed himself silly that I was getting up so early, as he snuggled …

I have 3 “GiveIt100.com” projects going. I’ve talked about this a lot – it’s a free website where you post 10 seconds of you doing whatever it is that you decide to do as a project, every day for 100 or 365 days. When you get to 100 (or 365) you get to …

My TAR buddy Moddie and I worked yesterday supporting the LLS Team In Training Tri team in their first open water tri. Go Team! The current was SO STRONG in Paradise Park that I wasn’t even able to stay on top of the surf board. Holy cats. I tried, but …

…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 Gam …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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? …

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 w …

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 …
