For those of you who know me in my regular life, you know that I’m always doing something active. Whether it’s derby at least twice per week, lifting 2-3 days a week, or some other yoga or Zumba type class… one of my favorite pastimes is moving. When I was thinking about this trip, one […]
When you read any guidebook or ask any CapeTownian what to do or see in Cape Town, one response that will *always* be there is “Table Mountain.” As one of the new 7 Natural Wonders of the World, Table Mountain has recently become an incredibly popular tourist destination, and of course, Cape Town has understandable […]
Before I get into the cancellation process at Crunch, I DO want to mention that before I cancelled, I DID check to see if they had international locations, because I would have 100% kept my membership if there was any chance I’d work out even once or twice a month while abroad. Sadly, Crunch has […]
Let’s be honest… you CAN’T go to Australia without at least entertaining a plan to visit the Great Barrier Reef. It wasn’t any different for me, my mom and my brother. The question was really… where to even start the research! There are an inordinate amount of companies with all different kinds of services for […]
So I’ll be honest, I’ve never done a Spartan Race… I would absolutely love to do one, but I’m terrified by the impact it would have on my ACL, and subsequently my derby participation. HOWEVER, my friends who do have all had an AMAZING time and I’m super impressed and humbled by their accomplishments. It’s […]
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 […]
I have to admit something…. I’ve been crossfitting since March of 2013 and I have never climbed a rope. Never. I tried once, maybe 6 months ago… My friend Lori (who has now become a spectacular L1!) was watching me and she made me stop halfway through because I couldn’t get the foot-lock down and […]

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 […]
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 […]
