After the madness… Z visible teaching in the back… Sunday (July 19) – Sunday? Not on the bike? Still sweating? You betcha! Today was meeting day. Once a month (ish) the @CrossFitCanuck Coaches meet to go over stuff, exchange ideas (new warm-ups, progressions and the like) and then we throw down. Now I don’t know if you have noticed, but...

And What Have You Done?
Photo credit to JoJo. Post AMRAPS, relaxing in the Sun. Wednesday (June 3) – I’m not even sure how it’s possible to be this far behind (AGAIN) in posts. I was all warm and fuzzy for having finally gotten everything up to date, I turn around and I’m behind again. Brutal. I’ve said it before, but I don’t know how...
Christmas in April
Post 40 minute CAP Thursday (April 9) – So this has been an unbelievable week so far and proof again that WODs (or working out in general) make me a much less cranky person (unless you do something dumb). With coaching classes on Monday and Wednesday nights’ and having gotten a WOD in Monday night, I was rearing to hit...
I’m Not Actually Awake
Out with my buddy for a walk after the Chipper… Thursday (Jan 22) – What happened to mornings? There was a time when I was wide awake and out the door with no problems. Am I getting old? Wait, don’t answer that. What’s changed? Now I can barely keep my eyes open and function. I sense a paradigm shift coming...
Noah’s Ark and a Shop Vac
That’s a lot H2O… Friday (Jan 16) – What an unmitigated disaster. A line I hoped I would never have to write, but which came to fruition on Friday morning during Coach G’s (@girmantitov) #6amClass. Sorry G, I was a hawt damn mess. I couldn’t focus, I had no power and was generally just terrible. Mostly this was because of...
Promises Made. Promises Kept
. @matt_5577 and I crossing another goal off the list… Saturday (Nov 30) – Flash back to early 2014. Tavia asked us to write down our goals on the board as we walk into @CrossFitCanuck. Every time you walk in, you see what you have put down and hopefully you work towards meeting and exceeding those goals. As I sat...
Baby Steps Forward…
2 Checkmarks… Slowly items on the board are getting crossed off. I had 4 goals on the big board for 2014 and I have now checked off 2 of them. I competed in the CrossFit Open and I have successfully completed my Level 1. The remaining items, well those are going to be a bit more difficult. This Sunday, I’m...
Party of Three
How do you like my sweet new shirt? @fitnfresh made this for me, make sure to check out her website for more awesome designs! www.fitnfreshgear.ca You know, I almost broke my own rule, thinking about cherry picking the WOD. I hate it. You have a full class, the WOD is posted and everyone bails. I almost did it, but only...
Team WOD and Run
Runner’s High?? IDK?? What a morning. I was in bed early, and slept late, but I still had no desire to get out of bed this morning. For the first time in memory, Deadlifts kicked me a$$. Not just a little, a whole bunch. I was tight during the night, I was stiff in the morning and it was a...
Looking Purty
Baz dressed up for some ‘girly’ stuff and not happy there was a picture… If there was ever a day that I did not want to show up at the box, today was that day. After a week of fighting off the cold that @SavannahJessie has been rocking, my defenses have finally succumbed and I have the hacking cough and...
