CrossFit Endurance Half Marathon Training – Check In
First off – Thank you for all the congrats on yesterday’s post… I still can’t believe I now have a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer Certificate. Who woulda thunk it?! Last month I posted about my CrossFit Endurance Half Marathon Training Plan. I figured I should check in with you and let you know how it’s going! One thing I did want to clarify from my original post is that along with the running schedule I originally posted, I’m also doing regular CrossFit classes 4-5x a week. That includes a strength/skill focus and a WOD. The training plan by Brian Mackenzie that I based mine off of has specific strength and WODs included, but…

Weekly Workout Recap: Back to the Grind
After spending over a week away from a normal workout routine I was ready to get back to the grind! I missed getting my sweat on. We got home on Saturday and I knew that since I missed some of my CrossFit Endurance Training runs that I thought I could get in while we were gone (ya, right) I had to get out and do my 5k TT (Time Trial) So that’s what I did on Sunday! Sunday 1/20- CFE W1D3 – 5k TT 37:24 This pace was pretty close to my 5k PR from last month, so I was pretty happy with it. Especially after being sick, then…

Pretty Muddy 2013 Discount Code
We interrupt these amazing Costa Rica Adventure recaps to bring you something awesome. Remember when I ran Pretty Muddy In Chicago last year? and when I got to go to Tampa and Miami too? Man, it was SO much fun. Pretty Muddy was my first Mud Run, and I absolutely loved it. I went on to run Warrior Dash and the Zombie Survival Dash, but Pretty Muddy always holds a special place in my heart. It was so… girly. But muddy. They make it a big party. You go (hopefully with a group of your girlfriends!) and have fun running the course which includes fun obstacles like a giant inflatable slide and…

Happy New Year- 2012 in Review
Happy New Year!! I can’t believe it is 2013. Sometimes I still think the 90’s were 10 years ago. Weird, I know. How did you ring in the New Year? We hung around the house with friends, played monopoly, and watched the ball drop (at 11…) and then at 12 we went out the garage and did a little workout. I practiced my double unders, and got 2! BAM! This is going to be the year of conquering the double under! I will RX a workout with Double Unders! The hubs threw the weights around for a bit but I wasn’t feeling it… it was after 12am after all… Looking…

Three Things Thursday
1. Thursdays. They are apparently not my best days. Last week I turned off my alarm instead of pushing snooze and ended up getting to CrossFit 15 minutes late. Last night I stayed up late and having coffee with amazing friends around our table. I knew going to bed after midnight would make the 4am wake up call hard. I didn’t realize that Thursdays are now “Courtney turns off the alarm instead of pushing snooze” day. I did it again. This time I was only 5 minutes late to CrossFit. I’m just proud that I actually went. Even if I slept-walked through the workout. I got a good burn in…

Weekly Workout Recap
Hello Friends. There is no graceful way to transition from yesterdays post back to “normal”. I spent extra time yesterday with Little Dreamer. Watching her play with her hair, helping her blow dry it after bath time, and spending some quality cuddle time together. I had some long papers to write for school, but somehow it just didn’t seem to matter as much. Since I missed our weekly workout recap yesterday I’ve got it for you today. I know you’re dying to see my workouts. Monday 12/10 – CrossFit PreWOD 3 x 3 strict press WOD 3 rounds for time of: 400 meter row 15 toes to bar 20 power/muscle/squat…

Therafit Shoes Review and Giveaway
A few weeks ago I received a beautiful package from my friends at Therafit Shoes. Inside the package was my pair of Pink Deborah Shoes. Therafit shoes were created by Dr Lisa from the TV show the Doctors… you know, the one with Travis from the Bachelor? Right. That one. I’m always on the search for a good pair of shoes. My activities vary from day to day, so having a pair of shoes that can adapt to my active, on the go lifestyle is necessary. I ordered these in an 8.5, which is my regular size in most shoes. They were a little tighter than other shoes, but still fit…
