I’m a little behind, but here’s my workout recap for the week of August 29. This was my first full week back at the gym in 4 or 5 weeks. It felt good to get back into the habit of going more consistently. And the best part was, I RX’d my very first WOD! Which was then followed up by a horrific…

Back to Training + Starting Renaissance Periodization Template!
Well hello there! It’s been awhile. Not only has it been a few weeks since I last updated the blog, it’s been a while since I paid much attention to my gym or nutrition routines. Throughout the month of August, I took longer breaks away from the gym than I normally do. My body just felt rundown, and I was…
Workout Recap – Week of July 4
I completely forgot to write down my workouts during the week of June 27. I only made it to the gym twice and ran once, didn’t hit any PRs or do anything remarkable, so there was nothing much to write about, anyway. Last week, however, was a great week. It was the first time in a long time that…

Workout Recap – Week of June 13, 2016
Another week of training done! I had a couple of good days and a couple of bad days. But the best thing was that on Friday, I finally was able to do a WOD with the listed weight! There was another part of that WOD that I started to scale after a few rounds, so I didn’t technically RX the workout,…
Half-Year Goals for 2016
When you’re an athlete, having goals is important. It doesn’t matter whether you are a professional athlete or just like to exercise for an hour a few days per week. Setting goals for yourself can be a huge part of being successful with your training. Whether those goals involve lifting a certain amount of weight, running a certain distance in…
Workout Recap – Week of June 6, 2016
Here it is – my first weekly recap post! Please don’t judge me on my puny weights or slow times. I’m pretty weak compared to a lot of other Crossfitters and I’m not going to lie and try to inflate my numbers at all. Also, I’m slow. Sometimes I finish a WOD near the middle of the pack. Most of the…
My 10-Month Crossfit Journey
I wanted to start off by sharing just a little bit about my Crossfit experience so far. First of all, let me just say that I LOVE it. I guess you could say I’ve drank the Kool-Aid. I’m trying not to be one of those crazy-obsessed-can’t-talk-about-anything-else Crossfitters though. I try to keep my passion for it in check around people…
