Happy 10th birthday to my beautiful daughter Hannah Bea. She has been one of the most joyful experiences and I am so proud to be her Mom. She’s a bright, kind, funny and sharp young lady who makes us laugh each and every day. Who wouldn’t want someone like that in their lives?

St. Patty’s Day Weekend
0
life was busy this weekend — went out with some great ladies, saw my the payoff of my kids’ hard work and smarts in their Odyssey of the Mind presentations, spent some time outdoors enjoying the gorgeous weather in the DC area and showed support to fellow athletes as they took on the beast known as 12.4 — Wall Balls, Double Unders and Muscle Ups.
I managed to do 121 wall balls for 12.4 – never getting to hit up the DUs or attempt Muscle Ups. My quads are killing me 2 days later — it looked so innocent on paper.
The pic to the right is the CFI ladies in our sport kilts! The fun they all had while they attempted the Highland Games competition at CrossFit Impavidus. I was busy with the kiddos at their competition but stopped by after to celebrate St Patty’s Day. And-the best part of the weekend??
My own husband won the 15th Annual Men in Kilts contest at Jimmy’s Old Town Tavern in Herndon VA. I now call him King of the Kilts! He was up against some heavy competition but it’s Scotty — of course he won! So proud of him…
And if you are wondering — I did not drink last night. I find it makes for a much smoother time when you get home at close to 2A!
Happy Valentine’s Day to you

Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone! Personally I don’t like consumer created holidays like this. You should treat the people in your life well year round and tell them you love them as much as possible. Life is too damn short not too. But if you do like the schmultzy holidays like this — well then Happy Valentine’s Day to you. Wear Red, eat candy hearts, buy flowers – and don’t forget to treat yourself as well. Your body deserves a good workout, no matter how you get it! Enjoy!
Today was a strength day which means it scares people off. These are the days you should get your butt in the gym — they make you stronger!!

I’m having a rough week mentally – not workout wise just life in general. Sometimes it’s just hard to deal with some of the crap life throws at you –
Go Shorty – It’s your Birthday!!
0I have a great life, filled with great family and friends. Look at the love surrounding me last night to celebrate my birthday. There is nothing greater than good health and good people around you!
Last year – my post was all about turning 40. I would say the 40th year was one of my best yet!

Every strike brings me closer to the next home run.- Babe Ruth
I saw this quote this morning randomly while reading a magazine and it really can be applied to so many things in life. Your fitness journey, your diet, your career, your health…the list can go on and on. So don’t let set backs hold you back — they are there to help us learn the right way.
Even though it’s a holiday and a day to celebrate the leadership of Martin Luther King Jr. — I headed to workout. I didn’t even look to see what the workout was, just got up, ready and then decided to take Scotty’s car. Mine was outside overnight and the layer of frost and ice did not seem like fun to scrape off — it was a cold morning!
