Happy Sunday!
Zoey and I are SO HAPPY to see the sun after five days of rain and gloom. So happy that y’all loved our little video blog. It was fun to document her in that stage. 🙂
This was not the best week of workouts. I only got one yoga practice and one CrossFit/strength workout in. Thank god for running. It’s always been my default workout when I can’t fit anything else in. It’s so easy just to throw on some shoes and head out the door.
The only downside of all the running is that it makes my body super tight. I needed an army of blocks to make it through my practice on Tuesday. I was so locked up that it took a block under my thigh and two under my hands to get into splits on my left side. You do what you gotta do! It just makes me believe so strongly in the power of yoga for runners and athletes of all sports to help undo all of that stress we put on our bodies.
Monday
5 mile run
Tuesday
Hot yoga
Wednesday
REST
Thursday
5 mile run
Friday
CrossFit Main Site WOD
Row 1,000 meters
30 dips
30 sumo deadlift high-pulls
30 handstand push-ups
30 power snatches
30 burpees
30 pull-ups
30 thrusters
The prescribed bar weight for guys was 75 so I used 45. 55 would have been more of a challenge for me but the lighter 45 pound bar let me keep moving at a good pace. I finished in 23:40 or somewhere right around there. This was a hard WOD!
Saturday
3 mile run
Sunday
Run (distance TBD)
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!
What did your week of workouts look like? Did one thing dominate? Anything you wish you would have gotten more of?

I am sitting down to write this post with teary eyes and a heavy heart. On New Year’s Eve we said goodbye to Zoey. It seems like only yesterday that I brought this fluffy nugget home. Many of you have been here with me since Zoey was a puppy. She was the sweetest little sister [...]

It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost a month since I ran the Every Woman’s Marathon! One of the fun things about this year’s race was getting to visit Scottsdale, Arizona. It was my first time in Arizona and while it was a quick trip, I tried to maximize my time there. Here’s a [...]

In keeping with tradition, I’m coming in hot with a last-minute gift guide. As much as I’d like to think that one day I’ll be the kind of person who has their holiday shopping done before Black Friday…it’s just not a likely scenario. And I’m okay with that! I hope this list helps you finish [...]

I am settled in back at home after a very special Thanksgiving in Florida. I cherish all of our trips to Florida but this one was extra meaningful because we had a bigger holiday crew this year. My cousin’s family came down and it was just the best to have a big tableful of people [...]

I am on a three-hour flight home from Scottsdale so it seems like the perfect time to relive and recap yesterday’s Every Woman’s Marathon experience. I had a great day and I’m very proud of the race that I ran. It was a practice in “fun running” and that not every race effort has to [...]
