My Epic Intermission

My life has been nothing short of a whirlwind of the epic variety for the past month. For starters, Ryan and I have moved from Philadelphia to Colorado! (Actually, we are STILL in the process of relocating. We can’t move in to the home we’re renting until August. Oh, poop. I guess we’ll just have to travel to kill time. Didn’t expect this entirely but… me complain? Never!)

So here is a snapshot of what I’ve been up to since May 8th and a preview of what I’ll be doing up until August 1st.

Packed up the apartment and headed west.

Mountain biked in Moab, UT.

All natural mud baths.

Hiked 5 miles up Rocky Peak, CA

Grand Canyon!

Camped in snowy Colorado

Trail ran in Moab, UT

Camped in Joshua Tree National Park, CA

Pullups in Buffalo Park, Flagstaff, AZ

Learned how to start a fire.

Hiked, CF’d, mtn biked, and swam with @deckerra, @sportybot, and @trirobot in AZ.

Scrambled and planked boulders in Joshua Tree.

Cooked Paleo food on a stick over a campfire.

Ate In’N’Out “protein style.”

Let my lil’ sis give me a “makeover.”

Went to Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, and Huntington Beach, CA.

Obviously, my CrossFit 5x/week schedule is, well, a little off-schedule. I can tell I’m weaker and slower but I keep reminding myself that in addition to being an end in itself, CrossFit is also a means to an end. I CrossFit so I can mountain bike, trail run, snowboard, hike. And I’m currently doing most of that right now so I’m content. But, oh, I do miss my CrossFit sessions. Can’t wait to get back under a bar.
