Brendan's Suprise Birthday Party -

My awesome man turned 30 on Tuesday the 15th. I planned a suprise party for him at Sestri restaurant - our favorite place. The kids and I had him blind folded and drove very erratically in and out of parking lots to confuse his direction. When we walked in the doors, I took off the blind fold and everybody yelled "suprise!! and popped the party poppers at him. He was shocked!! Just what we wanted. His friends and mom and dad were there. This is a pic of our friends Jeff and Delane...we do a lot of thigs with this couple ;) it was great having dinner with them. Sestri's owner is an advid CrossFitter and he set us up...we had salmon, chicken, salads, grilled vegetables, the works! I got a chocolate ganache 6 layer cake from the Buttery filled with strawberries and cream....I swear it weighed 30 pounds this cake. It was YUMMY!!! I call Brendan my Superman - and try to get him Superman things whenever I can...his Easyter basket was Superman....anyway, i got him a HUGE Superman balloon for the cake table at the party ......his body looks better than Superman !!! My present to him was a 90 minute body massage.....he loved every minute of turning 30 and he told me he had never had a suprise party thrown for him. I hope it made him feel as special as he is to me :)

CrossFit fun night in Colorado

Saturday evening after the seminar we all went out to this super cool HUGE arcade to play games and have dinner and some drinks with all the trainers and coach of course. This is Nicole (one of my heros), me, Brendan (my number one hero), and Dave. I always love hanging out with CrossFitters because they are into being healthy, and living active lives....they are inspiring to me -I feel like I become a better person after having spent some time with them. I learn tons about training, and the closeness of the community is unlike any other I have witnessed. I belonged to a church for 14 years, and have not seen some of the relationship dynamics that we have in the CrossFit family. I feel lucky to be among the CrossFit family and even luckier to be surrounded by the best at headquarters here in Santa Cruz....

Life is GREAT!!!

L pull ups with my man.....

It's been a while since I posted - my computer is acting up and it takes forever - any techs out there ?

A lot has been going on....just got back from Colorado for the CrossFit certification which was a blast....gone for 4 days is hard to catch up when you get back. Thanks to my clients for being patient with me :)

This pic was taken last week - here's the workout:

5 high box jumps
10 L pullups
15 knees to elbows
How many rounds in 20 minutes ?

I got in a measley 6 rounds....the l pullups were the hardest. I love working out with B....
