Is it so hard to believe that UNICORNS exist…this guy makes a VERY valid point. #badassunicorn

Who Needs Naps?!?!? Apparently, I do.

I’ve finally put my pride aside and have decided to recommit to the nap.  Over the past year or so, I made the decision that I was too good for naps.  I’m not really sure why or how I came with that decision, but it was dumb. There is not good reason why I shouldn’t be allowed a nap.  My days, Monday-Friday, begin at 5:30am (alarm goes off at 4:10).  By noon, I have already been up 8 hours and put in at least 5-6 hours of work.    Bed time is usually 10pm…10:30 at the latest.

The past 2 weeks I have been more tired then usual.  The only thing that has really changed are my workouts.  I am training for the games, and with the new programming our workouts have been longer and more intense.  This week I have been completely drained.  It has affected my workouts as well as my work.  No class or client deserves a tired-ass coach.  It’s not fair to them or my body.  Therefore, I am now taking on regular naps…and I am pretty freakin excited about it!  

Sweet Dreams!

This note was given to me by one of the COOLEST kids ever (Nani); therefore, making this one of the best compliments I’ve ever received. I don’t see myself as a “cool” person, but it doesn’t keep me from trying to be. I will be putting this note on my mirror where I can be reminded everyday just how cool I am. Even if it’s only one person’s opinion, it doesn’t matter. Nani is the authority on “cool” and her opinion is the only one that matters.  I am excited to take on a new role at CrossFit Central and Trinity Training Systems, but I am going to miss coaching the CrossFit Central Teen class.  There is not a job more rewarding then changing a child’s life. However, they can’t get rid of me that easily. I will be dropping-in every now and again to check on them.  They are our future, and I want nothing more then to see them succeed.

Do or Die…

My mission in life….is to change lives. We all deserve to live the life we’ve always wanted.  “When there is nothing left to burn, You have to set yourself on FIRE.”

I’m calling it now…Nicki Minaj’s next big single!  If this song doesn’t make you wanna dance…there is something wrong with you.

Nani is the reason we have a CrossFit Kids and CrossFit Teens class.  She shows up and does the work.  This kid lives the CrossFit lifestyle at the ripe old age of 9.  I can’t wait to see where she takes her skills and motivation in the CrossFit world, but definitely BIG things ahead for this one…maybe, CrossFit Games 2021!

GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY!  The only person that keeps you from reaching your goals and living the life you’ve always wanted is YOU.  When I start to feel like life isn’t fair or going my way, I have to remind myself “to get out of the way”…and then I  give myself a nice swift, kick in the ass.  I am the only person that is keeping me from reaching my full potential.  Here is one of my favorite quotes from the book, The Art of Racing in the Rain: “That which we manifest is before us; we are the creators of our own destiny. Be it through intention or ignorance, our successes and our failures have been brought on by none other than ourselves.” - Garth Stein

Two skills that make me VERY uncomfortable are the rower and wall ball.  I will become BFF with these two bitches and learn to tolerate them. I will do 20 wall ball 5x a week (10Ft target) and row 500m 5x a week leading up to regionals at the end of April!
