I’m Famous!

My FAVORITE yoga place EVER (the illustrious King Yoga) has pics of me all over it! Can anyone spot the SicFit tank?! Also, I did yoga today on the ankle and it felt GREAT. No pain!! I even did the balancing series, standing on the bum ankle by itself. I’m so excited … Thursday is the [...]

Here’s My Ankle

Because I love injury photos … Bruises look so nice a few days after whatever happened, huh? I’m really mobile on the ankle, went for an hour and a half walk yesterday and felt great. Woke up sore this morning in the ankle, but nothing a little MSM and ibuprofen can’t handle. Laying off the [...]

Ankle Sprain

I made it through 16 years of competitive basketball with just one ankle sprain–quite the feat for a female basketball player. And then. Last night I was playing some more basketball, and I jumped up and came down on the foot of the guy I was defending. My ankle rolled out and then in, I [...]

“You’re Good for the Gym”

Before I tell this story, perhaps I should explain about Bleeker Street Gym. As I’ve mentioned on lifeinaspen.com, Bleeker is the meathead gym. It’s smallish, equipment everywhere, rubber floors, tons of dumbbells, a weight rack and a squat rack, 4 KBs, 1 jump rope, and a freestanding pull-up bar (no kipping here). I spend most of [...]

Not Exactly Paleo Pumpkin Brownies

But delicious! I freaking love pumpkin, so I’m always playing with recipes. I also love baking, and I LOVE baking in the winter, when it’s cold outside and you can snuggle inside eating pumpkin-chocolate combo things. But this is NOT Paleo, sugar is never paleo, but this makes it HEALTHIER than before, though still not [...]

Week of Workouts!

When I’m traveling, it can be tough to get in high quality workouts. This week, I’m proud to report that I got in good stuff EVERY DAY!! Tuesday: CrossFit Central WOD from Sectionals “Dead Man’s Row”: 2000M Row + as many as possible deadlifts at 185#. I’m sad to report I rowed 6 seconds slower [...]

Butcher Challenge Pics!

Saturday morning’s Butcher Challenge was awesome! Team Fresh Meat! It IS the Butcher Challenge, after all. My favorite workout buddy!! How fun is this workout?! (sorry Joey, you had to push and do burpees … boo) And, good news, I got all my pullups and hit my previous snatch PR of 95# … so snatching [...]
