Because my last post sparked not one but TWO comments on how I was watching Center Stage 2: Turn it Up and NO comments on how you could win a Guerilla Suit (ok, Tolly, yours included both but it was weighted MORE toward CSTiU so by the laws of rounding the above statement holds true),…

Primo Chalk!
Austinite CrossFitter and Olympic lifter Jeremy Brooks has created a new kind of chalk called PrimoChalk. As someone who constantly battles ripped hands, I am intrigued … especially because I am still a girl and I like things that say they contain essential oils. They say: “In PrimoChalk™ we’ve combined quality magnesium carbonate with a…
Choose 3
Haha, from awesome blog Barbells and Bacon. The “Choose 3” situation is also fitting for today. ZT coached our class and chose 3 awesome things for our 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 WOD: 95# Thrusters (this is heavy and you’ll remember I knocked a tooth loose the last time I did thrusters) 30 inch box jumps (yep, that says…
Put that in your tweet and smoke it
Sometimes, and by sometimes I mean most times lately, Mike likes to keep us guessing on what our workout will be. CrossFitters in Central’s coed classes get tweets the night before so they know what the workout is the next morning, we get nothing. Technically we’re supposed to always do the .com workout, but Mike…
Fish Oil Calculator
Lots and lots of stuff has been written recently about fish oil. Take it in liquid, take it in pill, only take krill, whatever. Lots of reasons here (no need to reinvent the wheel). Basically, it’ll make you lose weight, get stronger, sleep better, be happier. What more could you want? BEHOLD: the fish oil…
Getchya Guerilla Suit
As we all “get back to business” now that SXSW is over (phew … I spent most of Sunday on my couch watching Center Stage 2: Turn it Up), there’s a really cool opportunity for someone really getting back to business: earlier this month, agency vets James Moody and Kevin Whitley announced the creation of…
Awesomeness I’ve been doing and where I’m headed
Yesterday’s awesome: EXPRESS ROCKS at The Phoenix with cute girlie band The Likes, where I got gifted! I think it’s my first visit to a “Gifting Suite” … I was so excited! Lots of love for that event, super fun. Nuke the Soup at Kenichi with free delicious sushi Today’s awesome: PEREZ HILTON / SWAGG…
“You’re not strong enough”
It seems like handstand pushups are all anyone thinks about these days. That and doubleunders, which Mike has had us doing in our warmup every single day since. Strength is pretty much all I’ve been thinking about though. Tuesday, before my hands ripped, Mike asked me why I wasn’t getting my chin all the way…
Bodies
I found this awhile ago but recently it’s been making the internet rounds again, and I think it’s totally worth sharing: here are five images from a Sports Illustrated for Women magazine (now defunct) article showing Olympians from a number of different sports in bikinis and showing how different their bodies are. I’ll let the…
Feels Like Home
My first day back at CrossFit Central in .com class was fun. And by fun I mean I had to drag myself there, hated the workout, but left with a smile on my face and pep in my step. It was like the early days of .com–I was the only girl, and pullups are not…
