Severe Ankle Injury - gym work arounds
I have recently been sidelined in my workout goals. That is putting it mildly. I am basically bed/couch ridden. I dislocated my ankle and broke it in two places running in the Warrior Dash on the 19th of July, 2014. The following day, I had surgery on my ankle in which 9 screws and a plate were installed. The hardest part…

2013 Seattle Tough Mudder
People--this race is this weekend. My nerves have TOTALLY set in and I am feeling very unprepared. One area weighing on me is that it is supposed to be cold and rainy. Any advice on what to wear to stay warm? I'll forgo my other areas of nerves and just stick to what I can control. :smile:

End of 9 weeks of CF and now a Broken Rib
Well, I was doing dip lockouts on Thursday and missed my footing and came crashing down on the dip bar. Knocked the wind out of me. Was in some pain, stretched and moved on with my day. Went in on Friday morning, still in pain, thinking it was just a deep tissue bruise and knocked out 13.2 (modified at 55# and a 16" box).…

Does your Box push the ZONE?
Just curious...Not a whole lot more to the question! I asked my coach to help me make more progress. I was eating 80/20 Paleo/Primal and around 1850 calories (my TEDEE- 20%). He put me on the Zone/Paleo plan. I eat 13 blocks a day. Which comes out to about 1500 calories a day.

Deadlifts
So today I completed Stage 1, week 3. I made my husband go with me and really teach me deadlifts as I have felt that I just wasn't doing it right. Well, I was doing them half-right. Upon learning to do them correctly, I had to drop my weight almost in half!!! So here is my question: should I focus this week on my form or…

Lifting with the boys
So this is more of a lesson in humility- I am doing the "New Rules of Lifting for Woman" and am just wrapping up Stage 1. The other day, I was at the gym, by myself and was in the midst of my squats. Now, I try to add weight almost everytime. There were two men who where doing clean presses next to me. No problem. So here…
