I know I shared some choice ankle bruises a little while ago, but these past few weeks have been completely brutal. We’ve been learning some new techniques at practice, I’ve been personally trying to get more aggressive, and in the past 3 days I’ve been at 3 different derby events! On Friday I went with […]
I feel like the past few weeks have been filled with accomplishing long-term goals. On Sunday, May 5th, my Sorority Sisters and I, as part of a bonding weekend, participated in the Dirty Girl Mud Run in Scranton, PA. If I’m being honest, I have to say it was both everything I hoped it would […]
It’s thaaaat time again! The 11th of the month! (Disclaimer: This Photo to the Left is Deadlift Photo from Google. NOT ME.) In class on Thursday we did 1RM Deadlifts and I’ll be damned if I’m not STILL hurting in my external obliques from that (and trust me I’ve been foam rolling and stretching every […]

It’s been a crazy few weeks when it comes to my workouts/sports/fitness! I’ll try to keep it short and sweet but there’s quite a lot going on… Derby: I played in my first full bout since… almost a full year ago(wow!), last night. It was great to be back on the track against outside opponents […]
So let’s talk a little bit about the past few week, workout wise. I started Crossfit exactly seven days ago, on 2/11. I have two months to make this into something magical, “drink the kool-aid” so to speak. Since that day, I’ve been to three more “on-ramp” classes, and they’ve definitely been enlightening. Lifting has […]
The story goes a little something like this… My amazing Sorority Sister started Crossfit quite some time ago, and I’ve been stalking watching her progress through Facebook pretty much since the beginning. She’s truly become an inspiration for me, and I’ve been wanting to try Crossfit myself for a while. But, as it seems to […]
