DetermiNation is a training program through the American Cancer Society in which participants are coached/trained to complete a half-marathon, full marathon or triathlon. Participants commit to raise money for the fight against cancer. [...]

All Good Things…
July 10, 2012 { 16 comments }…must come to an end. I’m blogging from my kitchen table instead of my parent’s balcony. Vacation is officially over and it’s time to get back to my normal routine. Although that routine has shifted slightly and I’m now forced to deal with it and not be distracted by travel. We’ll see how this goes. [...]

Donuts And Mini Golf

Vacation Workouts, Eats And Treats
July 7, 2012 { 18 comments }Remember how I ended my last post saying that I was a rainy morning so I was going to visit CrossFit Fort Walton?

My First Murph Experience
May 26, 2012 { 33 comments }Today I completed a well-known CrossFit hero WOD for the first time. “Murph” is one of the workouts that has quite a big reputation and you hear it referenced all the time…mostly in regards to how brutal it is.

Fight Gone Bad
May 12, 2012 { 33 comments }Uh…I’m kind of gross right now. I am sitting on the couch unshowered after nearly dying at a CrossFit event this afternoon. I came home with intentions of showering and then started cleaning and baking and lost motivation. Now I’m too tired to do anything. Lots to fill you in on. Last night I went [...]

I Baked A Cake With Green Frosting

Gray skies and lots of rain. Judging from [...]

The Peanut Butter Celebration
March 2, 2012 { 21 comments }What better way to start this post than with the dessert that brought National Peanut Butter Lovers Day to a close on Thursday? That would be vanilla ice cream topped with a chopped Reese’s Cup and Trader Joe’s Midnight Moo chocolate syrup. This is seriously the dessert of my dreams. Reese’s Cup Blizzards might be [...]

A Tuesday Trip
December 28, 2011 { 5 comments }I am happy to hear that I wasn’t the only one in “recovery mode” on Monday. My recovery carried into Tuesday but also involved the reality of a little bit of work too (um…and the reality of some cake…keep reading!).

Fight Gone Mad

Fall Cardio Strength Circuit Workout
October 10, 2011 { 68 comments }Fall is my favorite season for outdoor workouts. I find crisp days with low humidity to be energizing and love the beautiful scenery created by the changing colors of the leaves. Last Thursday I wanted to get a cardio and weights workout in but had no desire to be in the gym on a gorgeous [...]
