When The Snow Falls

ExerciseChicago 2017, cold, Exercise, RunningLeave a comment

Dressed for the weather… Something happened today that hasn’t ever happened before. I looked out the window, saw snow flakes and still got dressed for a run (and made it out the door). All of this happened though because @savannahjessie wasn’t listening to any of the excuses that I was making…   Get up and get out there…   It...

Lonely Run With a Crazy Face

CrossFit, ExerciseBench Press, Chicago 2017, CrossFit, RunningLeave a comment

Should I feel insulted by this guy??   So what does one do with cranky knees, an inability to squat and a marathon to run in little less than eight months… Obviously drag yourself out of bed before the crack of early, put on the kicks and head out into the misty morning for a run. Oi. It’s been a...

How To Survive The Open

CrossFit, LifeCrossFit, Life, The OpenLeave a comment

Hitting my first Chest to Bar Pull-ups in 2014’s OPEN! It’s that time of the year again. The OPEN is here. Magic happens at the OPEN. How do you approach it though, especially if, like most of us, you aren’t paid or sponsored to do CrossFit. How do you wrap your head around the pain that Dave Castro comes up...

What is MCT?

Food & NutritionFood2 Comments

  So I’m a skeptic. Just built that way. Try these oils. Try these vitamins. Organic is the way to go. Sure. Maybe. Does it work? Maybe? Probably not, it’s marketing or a placebo… @savannahjessie came to me and brought this little black bottle with the neon green letters. What the heck is MCT oil? Well the Lady has been...

Taking Pictures

Look at those sturdy Sticks!   So… Did you notice? What do you think? Not too shabby for a Desk Jockey who yells at people to move and work more than they thought they could (or probably wanted to). Welcome to the new here! I hope you do like it and can find it useful in some way!   First...

The Dangers of The Forest

Exercisecross country skiing, ExerciseLeave a comment

@savannahjessie and I on the trail! If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around, does it make a sound? Well I’m not sure if it does, but I certainly do (whether anyone is around or not). Geez, no one explained the dangers of Forest Gnomes to me before @SavannahJessie, @gfenton_25, @CADPRO00 and Boys headed up to...

It’s Not Always Roses

CrossFit, LifeCrossFit, Hang Power Snatch, Life, The OpenLeave a comment

Contemplating Life (and figuring out if my arms still work) Now things don’t always go your way, no matter how hard you prepare or how much you think that you deserve it. Case in point, the Microsoft exam I was preparing for. I sat the exam Friday and even though I had done every lab, exam prep and built a...
