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...
Somebody Got Hitched
Now before you start acting crazy, I did not get married this weekend. Now with apologies to the Bride and Groom for photo bombing the pic with the Groom’s Parents (don’t worry, I’m fairly certain they get another one without me in it), @SavannahJessie and I made the trip to Milton for Laura and Phil’s wedding. At a seriously cool...
We R Unstoppable
@missade3 be like Muscle-ups, piece of cake… It’s easy to be inspired to work when you have unbelievable people around you who push themselves to be better everyday. Let’s take the Muscle-up Club as an example. A Muscle-up involves the rings and moving from the hang position to locked out on the rings. Tavia put the challenge out to the...
