Diary of a Fat CrossFitter – CrossFitting in Jerusalem

January 2, 2015
Fat Crossfitter - too tired to shower, can't to to bed sweaty

I went to CrossFit Jerusalem for the first time earlier this week. After a month off, I’d forgot how wonderfully exhausting lifting + a WOD can be.

Diary of a Fat CrossFitter – ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED (1st 5k!)

September 23, 2014

I raced my first 5k over the weekend. Camille, my awesome amazing and to be much thanked running buddy, and I have been training both separately and apart. She, to get back to running after a few kids, and me, to get to a point where I wouldn’t embarrass myself by collapsing on the course after… Read More Diary of a Fat CrossFitter – ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED (1st 5k!)
