1,025… Good enough for 2nd place and a sticker prize! 🥈🤠 In August my gym (Tangletown CrossFit in Minneapolis, MN) put on a pull-up challenge: See how many strict pull-ups (overhand, underhand, and hammer grip all accepted) you can do throughout the month. It was a bit of a grind, but I chipped away every … More 🤠 1,025!!! 🥈

Kate and I recently took a fun trip to Tennessee. And when in Tennessee… ya just gotta stop at CROSSFIT MAYHEM! Needless to say, the Mayhem stop was AWESOME (though I didn’t quite expect an 80% Murph to be programmed that day! 😆). For real, though, the community at CrossFit Mayhem is just how you … More Fun times in Tennessee! 🤠🎸❤️

I was SO good at going on regular walks during the spring, summer, and fall months… But then it started getting colder – and I started getting wimpier (and as a result, grumpier! 😆). So, it’s back to my habit of regular walks outside, no matter the weather! Sure, I might look like a scary … More BRR!!! 🥶
The other day I decided to throwback and re-do a workout I did in December 2022 – and managed to finish a full minute and 33 seconds faster! It was another great reminder that age measures TIME, not POTENTIAL. ☺️👍 I don’t know where you’re at on your health journey, but if you’re still living … More Getting older… and getting fitter! 🤠
I was out of town over the Memorial Day Weekend again this year so I couldn’t join the awesome crew at Tangletown CrossFit 😥. However, I managed to get my Murph in on my birthday (a great gift to myself!) while visiting family in Brainerd, Minnesota. My goals were to push myself to my limit … More Another year older, another Murph conquered!
I feel like these two pictures encapsulate my 2024 CrossFit Open experience quite well… At the start of the 3 weeks I was as excited as can be (with a pinch of nervousness, let’s be honest 😉). I felt strong, fit, and “ready enough” for whatever workouts would come my way. 💪💪 But then 24.1 … More HAPPY, BUT HUNGRY
Welp, here we go! My first ever “official” CrossFit Open! 🤠 Last year I completed the workouts “unofficially” (no scores posted on the CrossFit Games website).

HAPPY, HEALTHY, AND HOLY
