This past weekend, I volunteered and raced in the Savage Race. This was my second mud run, which was totally different from the first one, Rugged Maniac. I actually like mud runs similar to this one. It was long and challenging. The race was 6.4 miles with 33 obstacles. It wasn't as much mud but … Continue reading Lets Get Savage

I love challenging myself to become stronger and healthy, both on the outside and the inside.
RX’d It
As I reflect about how my CrossFit week went, I would say it was pretty darn awesome. I realized yet again that I am a lot stronger than I think I am. I was able to RX 3 out of 5 WODs. I PR my snatch (before 1RM testing week) and I rowed like never … Continue reading RX’d It

Instead of thinking about how tired we are, think about the solider that fought for us. With that being said, these workouts get very spicy. To do … Continue reading Hero WODs all Week…
