Race Report: Run for Southlake 2018

What a lovely day to run or walk with 1500+ awesome people to support Southlake! While on a chilly side, the sun was out to greet us and it was all fun. New PR! #RunforSouthlake #THISIS30

Sports

Rooting on Nikki

What a fun and productive way to spend a Sunday morning! The CFNAC Family got together to support @nikkimatarazzo on her upcoming dream of competing at the @crossfitgames#Regionals! We did our first 1 mike run outdoors and then an intense 40 min all out WOD. Thrusters, pull-ups, burpees, knees to elbows, kettlebell swings. All the good stuff ??We then indulged in true CrossFit fashion with @progenex Haute cakes and….bacon! ??I unintentionally set a 1km PR at the same time ??????(wasn’t even planning on this) and also got my #EarthDaybadge ? #THISIS30

Health

Precision Nutrition Certified

They say “do what you love”. My vacation is over, and Wrestlemania has passed. That means it’s soon spring running season! And after many years, I’m hitting the books. As a licensed healthcare professional and background education along with my newfound passion for fitness and nutrition, it’s time for a little merging of the interests. I listen to a ton of health & sports related podcasts, and heard about @PrecisionNutrition over and over. I’m also required to take continuing education course, so this is a win-win. I finally took the plunge and enrolled into the Pn1 certification program. 100% excited! #PrecisionNutrition

Life

CrossFit Open: 18.2 and 18.2A

Mixed emotions. I’m not going to hide this. But I had a taste of defeat this evening for 18.2 & 18.2A of the CrossFit Open. I was unable to make it to 18.2 A. I eagerly watched the unveiling of the workout Thursday night. And wrote down my plan and watched tips and advice on YouTube. But I severely underestimated this one. we had to do 10 rounds of an ascending ladder. Essentia
lly, we needed to complete 110 reps of dumbbell squats and front-facing burpees together and once done, do a power clean. All within 12 minutes. I “no repped” at least 10 of the squats and in the end only completed 108 of 18.2. And did not get to do 18.2 A’s clean. I got disoriented from all the burpees, my leg are on fire, and I can barely walk… On one hand I am disappointed that I couldn’t fully do this workout. But on the other hand I got to experience Friday Night Lights for the first time. I got to witness our elite athletes like @ernestospagnuoloabsolutely crush it. He did the 18.2 in under 5 freaking minutes ?CrossFit in general and then competing in front of so many CFNAC family members rooting and cheering is something I’ll never forget. I’ll learn from and cherish this moment forever. #crossfit #intheopen#crossfittraining #crossfitweightlifting@crossfitauroracentral / @crossfitnewmarketcentral
