October 2014 Check-In
About DokiDara, Crossfit, Real Life, Workout

Yes, yes, I’m SO aware that it’s October 20th. HOWEVER, I did manage to take these stats down on the 10th, so I don’t feel that horribly bad. I do have a LOT of things to talk about though, so I need to get back on the wagon here. This week is my last in […]

Conquering a Fear – Rope Climbs!
Crossfit, Real Life, Workout

I have to admit something…. I’ve been crossfitting since March of 2013 and I have never climbed a rope. Never.

After finishing up my heavy squat cycle, my coach asked me what I wanted to work on next. I thought about it for a bit, and I decided that I thought the best move for me, next, would be to fix my strange “power snatch and power clean everything” affliction. Thus, I have dubbed this […]

A Special PR
About DokiDara, Crossfit, Real Life

While we were sitting around the box after class last week, I casually mentioned to one of the other CFN Girls that I didn’t know how to french braid. She gasped, appalled at my lack of athlete-hair-styling-skills. Then she proceeded to teach me. Because that’s what CFN Girls do — we help each other! Below […]

7(ish) Week Squat Cycle Review & Results
About DokiDara, Crossfit, Derby, Olympic Lifting, Real Life, Workout

Since I came back from my gigantic trip, I’ve felt completely off – my weight is down almost 10 pounds, I hadn’t been weight training with any consistency in about 3 months between work travel and everything else, and I just felt like a complete and total mess. I told all of this to my […]

Traveling and Crossfit and Lifting
Crossfit, Derby, Olympic Lifting, Workout

Point blank, traveling and trying to keep up with your routine BITES. In the past few weeks, I’ve been on a weeklong trip to Houston & San Francisco, back to Jersey for four days, and then back to San Francisco for another week. And then back, with hives and a cold, which I attribute to […]
