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!!! 🥶

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). This year everyone in the world will be able to see how much of a novice I still am at this CrossFit thing! 😂 But all kidding aside, I’m … More “DO HARD THINGS”, they say…
Today at Tangletown CrossFit we did the hero workout, “CHAD”, a workout created in honor of Navy SEAL Chad Wilkinson who took his life on October 29, 2018 due to the effects of numerous deployments, several traumatic brain injuries, blast wave injuries and PTSD. From Sara Wilkinson: “My husband, Navy SEAL Chad Wilkinson, served honorably … More CHAD1000x – CrossFit Hero WOD
I ❤️ this CrossFit tradition… Celebrating someone’s birthday by doing burpees for every year of their life. 🥳 💪 For someone on the outside looking in, this might seem like a weird way to honor someone, but for a group that sweats together and pushes each other to their physical limits on a regular basis, … More BIRTHDAY BURPEES!
