I fully intended to write a full post on the Chicago airport gym, but now it swirls around in my head with the other travelin’ gyms and workouts I did, so it will just be one of a list: Chicago: Hilton hotel gym at the airport (you DO have to leave security). Has an Olympic…

South Central Regionals Envy
All my friends are here. I’m having a great time at Food & Wine in Aspen, so I’m not exactly complaining, just having a little Regionals envy. There’s nothing more fun than cheering your friends on with more of your friends. I’m watching twitter and the games site lookin’ for updates on my fave people.…
Boxing
I have now gone three times with a friend to boxing class. It’s not class, exactly, it’s usually two or three of us being coached by a former title-winning boxer. I didn’t know what to expect when I first went, it’s not like I’m a huge boxing fan. Sure, I watch the occasional fight when…
Commitment

Sprints are back!
The sun is finally shining again in Aspen and I could NOT wait to get out onto the field for some sprints!! Nali and I ran 10 x 40M sprints and LOVED it. Both of us 🙂 Sprinting is awesome for you. Your body and mind. Then I hit the gym for some squat work…
Aspen: Spring Celebrations Announcing BlissFits Aspen Boot Camp!
As spring rolls around, there are lots of announcements: babies, graduation announcements, save-the-date cards, and so on. Since I have no news of that sort, I’m excited to celebrate a more Lyssa-like announcement: BlissFits Aspen Boot Camp! You guys know how much I love CrossFit, and sharing the word about fitness and how awesome it is. I’ve…
CrossFit Games 11.2-.4
Oh, hello, we haven’t talked about The CrossFit Open Sectionals in awhile, have we? In light of yesterday’s announcement, let’s talk. Here’s WOD 1, known by the cool kids as 11.1. 11.2: AMRAP 15 minutes: 9 DL (100#), 12 pushups with release, 15 box jumps (21″). I filmed on my own. It still hasn’t been…
See ya at Sectionals!
OK, that’s not true, I’ll mainly be seeing myself at Sectionals … but I did go ahead and compete in the first WOD. It’ll only get harder from here as I have to film myself doing the WODs … in my “normal” commercial gym … awkward! But nonetheless, I am committed. http://games.crossfit.com/ My first go at…
On Not Drinking
I’ve been in Austin for over a week now, playing and partaking in SXSW. This is my fourth year to attend, but my first to attend as a teetotaler: that’s right, I haven’t drank a drop of alcohol this year. Normally, SX is a time of free parties, free booze, free food, and serendipitous finds…
I’m in the X Games!
OK, maybe not. BUT I am AT the X Games, last week, before they were the X Games officially, and I am trying out this new workout system called RipCoreFX, which X Gamers Gretchen Bleiler, Jen Hudak, Chris Klug, and Peter Olenik all use too. … not that I will ever, ever do anything as…
