The CrossFit Diaries: Stir Crazy
After almost a week off I decided to get back into the gym on Wednesday night. I felt much better overall and the pec was feeling significantly better. Not 100%, but I felt it was good enough to get back in and scale exercises appropriately to accommodate it. Plus I was going absolutely stir crazy … Continue reading
The CrossFit Diaries: They Read My Mind
Yesterday looked beautiful outside. Just a gorgeous late winter day where it hit 40 degrees, was sunny and a beautiful blue sky. It was one of those days where it made it tough to be working inside. The nice thing was that when I left work it was still a little light out and decently … Continue reading

The CrossFit Diaries: Let’s Get Open
Two morning workouts in a row and Thursdays (and Tuesdays) are at 5:45 am. That alarm went off way too early, but up and at ’em to get the day going. I do like working out in the morning, in fact I prefer it. The problem really is being so far away from the gym … Continue reading

A rather low key weekend overall left me feeling primed for a good week. I’ve started dialing back my alcohol consumption and I’m feeling pretty good.

The CrossFit Diaries: Screw it I’m Going Big
After a great weekend it was back to the grind on Monday. I don’t know what it was but I just had a tough time getting going on Monday. Just totally dragging my feet and struggling to get moving and into the day. I powered through and by the time that I got to the … Continue reading
The CrossFit Diaries: Night Cap
So I missed Monday (again…. bad trend that I’ll reverse next week) and then was out late Tuesday night so I switched over to the 6-7 pm class for last night. It was a nice change to be going in in the evening instead of the wee hours of the morning. That’s why I’ll be … Continue reading
The CrossFit Diaries: Friday’s Ferocious Fractured Fran
Friday’s ferocious fractured Fran finally forced me to face fears and make fantastic progress. Can’t help myself sometimes when it comes to alliteration. But seriously, today was a smoker. I knew it was going to be a tough one when everyone who came in and looked at the board with the work out said “Oh … Continue reading
