2024 Monster Games: Masters CrossFit Competition

Hey all!

I recently competed in the 2024 Monster Games, a CrossFit competition for masters athletes, in Joplin, Missouri.

I did pretty well. Take a look at my performance below, and subscribe to my YouTube channel as I follow my dreams of one day making it to the CrossFit Games. Thanks in advance for your support!

Benefits of Having Your Own Gym When You’re Sick

So, you’ve got a cold but you want to work out and feel like you can work out. Yet, you know everyone will look at you and avoid you like the plague when they find out you’re sick.

We all hate that feeling, which is why, after this recent illness, I’ve realized the benefits of working out at your own gym when you’re sick. Continue reading, and contact me today!

BENEFITS OF WORKING OUT AT HOME OR IN YOUR HOME GYM WHEN YOU’RE SICK

  • You don’t have to deal with the glares of others around you.
  • You don’t have to worry about getting anyone sick.
  • You can cough as much as you like with no guilt.
  • You can blow your nose conveniently without trying to hide it.
  • You don’t have to compulsively wipe down the machines.
  • You can do your own programming and listen to your body. You don’t have to do a 20-minute AMRAP when you can barely breathe. You can do light cardio instead.
  • You can work out when your body is ready, not when class is ready.
  • You can take your time.
  • You can take as many breaks as you want for as long as you want.
  • You can drink as much as you like.

I have reactive airway disease, which means when I get sick, I cough for weeks. I don’t have to deal with others staring at me, wondering if I’m gonna get them sick. This, to me, is worth every dime of my home gym. Let me know your thoughts!

crossfit legends championship deadlifts

Beginning 2024 With PR’s!

Hey all!

I’m been remiss in posting, mainly because I’ve been in a low in CrossFit. However, I’m recently enjoying CrossFit once again and looking forward to the CrossFit Open.

That being said, I’ve started 2024 with 3 personal records:

  1. Deadlift: 240 lbs
  2. Strict Press: 90 lbs
  3. Front squat: 170 lbs

As you all know, if you’ve been doing CrossFit for a while, PRs are few and far between. The deadlift was super important to me cause I haven’t lifted this much in over 7 years. It’s been a road overcoming injuries, but I finally feel good!

Bring it, 2024!

Two Cities Marathon

On November 5th, my daughter and I ran the Two Cities Marathon in Fresno, California. She ran the marathon, and I ran the 10k.

It was a great race, a beautiful day, and fun! In their 15th year, they had everything you could want in a race: supportive crowds, good signage on the course, and great swag.

My daughter won her age group for the marathon, and I didn’t do bad, considering I haven’t been racing much lately.

Two Cities Marathon is a flat course and is an Olympic Trials qualifier race, as well as a Boston Marathon qualifier.

I would highly recommend this race to those interested!
