CrossFit is awesome preparation for skiing. I hit the slopes for only my third time ever with my highly-advanced, born-on-skis That Ripped Guy of Mine(TM) coaching me and I was tearing down the mountain by the end of the day. Ok, well, turning up the greens. But still. My turn mantra went something like this: [...]

14: Wreak Havoc on my Shoulders
I show you this results board because today it was essential to my strategy. You see, Nick, in the green marker above my name, is one of the trainers at Roaring Fork CrossFit and he finished 13.5 rounds, so my only goal in this workout was to beat him. Pre WOD Handstand Practice … apparently [...]
First is the worst, second is the best, third is the one with the treasure chest …
Remember that rhyme from when you lost things as a kid? You’d taunt the winner by telling them they were actually the worst … maybe that was just my childhood, where you also got taunted for being a girl wearing a Ninja Turtles shorts + t-shirt combo that looked EXACTLY like the turtle shell sported [...]
Double the volleyball
Still feeling kind of puny, but planning to hit up Roaring Fork tonight. Last night I got in some rec leage volleyball, thinking it’d be a nice, light way to test out how sick I really am. Played one match (three games) and felt good but started to tire, but when the next team asked [...]
Sick
And very, very tired of being sick. Thought Paleo was supposed to make me healthier? What am I doing wrong here? Enjoy The Label Says Paleo until I bounce back (hoping for tomorrow, fingers crossed).
Pullups and Deadlifts
After a weekend off of CrossFit in which I did some 1-ton truck pushing, downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, and ate and drank copious amounts (thanks to Soon-to-Be-CrossFit-Guy‘s appearance), I was stoked to get back into the gym. The workout: Warmup: 500 M row, 30 squats, 30 pushups, 30 abmat situps, 30 good morning stretches, 15 [...]

Strategic compression promotes muscle tissue repair. Decreases the amount of time muscles are sore. Reduces swelling caused by exertion or impact. Now, everyone knows that [...]
30 Rounds 1-Ton Truck Pushing for Time
… where Time = when you get the truck unstuck from the snowbank it has lodged itself into Once again, That Ripped Guy of Mine(TM) has unintentionally CrossFitted. In the picture above you can see the massive snowbank That Ripped Guy of Mine(TM) backed his lovely red Toyota Tacoma into, forcing me and Soon-To-Be-CrossFitter-Guy to [...]
More fame (no fortune)
My star is rising, people. The amazing, uber-talented Mel Joulwan (whose blog, I might add, is worth checking out for top-notch Paleo recipes, creative workouts, and Mel’s great sense of humor) blogged about me–what a sweetheart! She says you gotta meet me Thanks, Mel! Also, this pic of me doing ring dips was on CrossFit [...]
And then I knocked my tooth loose
I did the warmup (200 jumprope jumps, 500 M row, 20 back extensions, 20 GHD situps, 20 squats) and the pre-WOD workout (5 x 5 Renegade Rows, 2 rounds at 15# dumbells, 3 at 20# dumbells). I was going to take on the WOD with the rest of the class when I realized the two [...]
