In continuation of the derby bruise saga, I’m bringing you the next installment! I took a pretty epic spill yesterday, and from the looks of this bruise, dragged my teammate’s… skate? Leg? Elbow? Along with me. Check it out and remember, this is from less than 24hours ago. Yikes. :/ Questions/Comments? Feel free to comment […]
If you’ve been paying attention to my statistics posts, you’ll note that I haven’t lost any weight pretty much since I started crossfit back in March (I kind of hope I’m the only one who is paying attention to this, but you never know). For those of you wondering about diet, I’ve been diligently tracking […]
Ever since I was little, I’ve always felt a special connection to team sports, and a very strong desire to be “part of something”. Soccer, Volleyball and Ultimate always came through for me, and then when I graduated, I joined Derby. My first few seasons (this is my fourth now), I was really focused on […]
I would be lying if I said every day that I have derby practice I’m ready and raring to go. Frankly, we have a very long season (February-November), so it would be crazy to me to ALWAYS be at peak performance in a season of that length. Yesterday was one of those days that I […]

In April of 2012, I found out about an event called the New Jersey Young Professionals’ Multi-Group Mixer, and I proposed it to my Chapter of my Sorority, the Xi Xi Chapter of Theta Nu Xi Multicultural Sorority, Incorporated, as a potential event. Unfortunately the event was occurring too soon after this discovery for us […]
Two quick/funny/related stories from the past couple of Crossfit Nassau sessions… Story #1 Last Thursday we were working on the Clean and Jerk. Awesome. I suck at this. I suck at all the Olympic lifts because they’re still really new and unnatural feeling to me. We’re supposed to work up to a 1rm (a one […]
If you’ve been reading for any length of time, you’d know that I recently went on a crazy group travel tour. On my trip I met some amazing people, and lots of them happen to live in the NYC metro area with me. I happened to sit in the front of the bus on the […]
