No more playing around....
Hot yoga tomorrow because my body is begging for it. My muscles are screaming for some relaxation. After my coffee date I’m going to have a great lunch, hydrate plenty and get my sweat on, hot yoga style. I hope this helps me get back into my swing of things.
Nasty Northeast Throwdown Event 2
So many amazing athletes, is the first thing that comes to mind when I reflect back on the second event. The workout was insane, the competitors were fierce, and the judges/volunteers were supportive. The day couldn’t have been anymore awesome!
The workout was intense and made up by Big J who is an amazing athlete! The workout went as follows:
10 rope climbs to be completed by the team...
surfwods asked: the L1 test is cake..hope your cert goes awesome!

Packed and Ready!
This time tomorrow I will be in South Beach! My apologies in advance for the lack of posting that will occur. When I get back its Event 2 of the Nasty Northeast Throwdown! BOOM!
Is it Tuesday yet???
I am so ready for this vacation. Headed to South Beach for a few days and I cant wait to just get away. I’m ready for things to happen in my life, some things are happening too slow and other things just arent ready to happen and unfortunately its all out of my hands. I will continue to live and try and make things happen for me but there’s only so much you can do.
On a fit note I...
Lots of stretching and skills and drills
I stretched today for a good half hour, I havent done that in…..well I’ve never stretched for that long. It felt good, had to listen to the body and the body said or more like yelled “stretch me out!” I decided to opt out of the WOD today and work on some skills and drills for Oly class. I was a little too sore yesterday and fatigue set in early so I was failing at things...
Its things like this....
that make you realize that even when you’re bettering yourself you can still touch others. A very dear friend of mine made the comment below on a post that wanted to know about your crossfit gym, your coach and a person who inspires you. Needless to say, I cried. I have some pretty freakin awesome friends!
“Crossfit is what makes me a better person. It has changed my train of thought,...
As if the throwdown wasnt enough.....
I wodded today. I know crazy but so did two other members on my team lol. I only did half of today’s workout. I took my time, I wasn’t pushing to break any personal records today.
Warm up:
15 min stretch
1000m row
WOD: 4 rounds for time of:
400m run
Thrusters 95/65, 15 reps
15 pull ups
So I did two rounds instead of four and I paced myself very slowly. There was a 20 minute...
Nasty Northeast Throwdown Event 1
Yesterday was the first event of the Nasty Northeast Throwdown at Manasquan Beach. There were 18 teams present for this first event. We also had a 9/11 memorial tribute and it was very nice. Here was the breakdown of the workout for event 1:
As a team run to retrieve two empty buckets and bring them back to the start line. Fill the two buckets to the top with sand. At this point the team...
Work was put in today....
Today, on the 10th anniversary of 9/11 we worked out in memory of all those who put their lives on the line for this country. It was the first competition of the Nasty Northeast Throwdown. We left our sweat, blood, tears, and puke out on that sand. It’s nothing compared to the sacrifice made by the people who lost their lives on 9/11 but we gave it our all.
I am so grateful for my team. I...
Doing some research...
for tomorrow’s bake session. Im thinking I’ll try to make paleo pizza again (since it came out all wrong the first time) I’m going to bake my meatloaf and throw the spaghetti squash in there too while the oven is on. If I really feel like going crazy I’ll see about baking some muffins and I’ll make another batch of brownies too for the people at the box. I hope I have...
Any followers who live in the Northeast??
If you dont have anything planned for this Sunday you should totally come to Manasquan Beach and spectate the Nasty Northeast Throwdown hosted by Crossfit ACT. Yours truly will be competing with my team along with many other athletes from all over. We will be having a memorial tribute for all those who lost their lives on 9/11 and all proceeds from spectators on that day will be going to the...

Since I couldnt do today’s WOD I figured I would do some stuff on my own. I decided that I would do 5 rounds of Cindy, 2 of my fellow crossfitters joined me which was nice. That helped me keep going at a good pace, they smoked me of course. I also did today’s on-ramp. I decided last night that I would take on-ramp this month to refresh my mind. Tomorrow is a rest day on mainsite which...
Back to Yoga
As soon as my ink is finished up and all healed its back to hot yoga for me! At least once a week (at least thats what I would like) to help balance my crossfitting. I havent had a good hot yoga sweat session in a long time and I could really use it.
Picture Time!
Tomorrow is a heavy strength day so I will not be able to do the workout due to Oly. Wednesday in Oly we are drilling heavy out of the bottom of front squats so that means no heavy lifting tomorrow or Wednesday. Tomorrow I will take pictures of my fellow badasses. :)
31 Heroes
Today we wodded in honor of fallen soldiers. There was blood and sweat sacrificed today but the ultimate sacrifice was that of soldiers who lost their lives on 8/6/11. It was an honor to watch my fellow crossfitters participate in this WOD today. There was so much hard work put in by everyone who participated.
Holy Sore Quads!
Sitting down and getting up was rough yesterday, the soreness kept creeping in and I was moving all day! Coach had told us that with Oly lifting we would be engaging our quads for the olympic squat and he wasnt lying. I woke up this morning and could barely get out of bed. Let’s just say I’m walking like (what’s that metaphor?) I just got off a horse. Fish oil and foam roller to...
Super Excited!
Can’t wait for tomorrow night! I’m getting new ink to cover up an old ink thats been needing to get covered up for quite some time. We can say its the last step to finally being done with the past. Can’t wait to post before and after pictures for you guys! I have a feeling it may need more than one sitting but we’ll see!
On a fitness note:
I didnt WOD today. I was soooooo...
