At the risk of sounding really cliche, I can't believe it's already July! We're halfway through 2015, and it's a great time to reflect on goals made at the beginning of the year--I dug up my own goals post from January of this year. Going through my list doesn't just mean assessing whether I've succeeded or failed in meeting goals, but also asking myself whether I still believe they are worthy ...

What I Wore: Wrapping Up The CrossFit Open + Arizona Sights
As of just a couple weeks ago, this year's CrossFit Open has wrapped up. I previously posted about 15.1 as well as 15.2 and 3, so today I'll recap 15.4 and 5. Also, during this same time, my mom came to visit, so I got to do some fun and beautiful things with her around Arizona. 15.4 was pretty unremarkable. I don't even have an outfit pic--for shame! During the announcement, I practically ...
15.1 And The Magical Power of PR Pants
Story time! As fellow crossfitters will know, the 2015 CrossFit Open just started this past week.

Those who perform exceptionally well in these workouts then move on to the next stage of CrossFit's annual ...
What I Wore: First Competition + Fabulous Hikes
As I wrote at the beginning of this month, I had my first CrossFit competition this month! This was the scene during "Jackie", the 2nd WOD of the day. I wore my Splits59 nova trailblazers in hype, which I bought expressly for the purpose of this competition--first competition warrants new pants, yes? I kept it simple with a black cool racerback and let the pinkest of pink pants take the ...
September Challenge Failboat + October Yoga Challenge
[Since August, I've been targeting issuing challenges to myself on particular weaknesses in my fitness endeavors and tracking my trials, tribulations, and successes here. Here's my August challenge, August recap, and September challenge.] So... September kicked my butt. My first challenge was the jump rope: I challenged myself to complete 50-200 double unders every day, with the goal of being ...
September Challenge: Rope and Row
Time for a new nemesis. Actually two of them, but unlike last month, they aren't related this time. Weakness #1: double unders I am VERY inconsistent on the jump rope: some days I feel good, other days I can barely get through singles. Even on my best days I can only get a few double unders. I need to crack down and get that action firmly ingrained in my neurons. Current double under PR: 12 ...
