What is it this year?
My husband asked me that question a few days ago. He said that since I had read 52 books last year, he was figuring I was up to some new challenge for 2013. He knows me well. When I didn’t…
Feeling like a Fraud
“Some writers I have worked with explain that it took three or four books before they stopped feeling like an impostor, and felt they could actually call themselves writers.” The above quote comes from Betsy Lerner’s book about writing, The…
(Fantasy) fitness resolutions
Of course, I’ve made some real fitness goals for the year. (Handstand! Pull-up! No-knee push-up!) But after flipping through one of the many athletically-minded catalogs (read: very expensive yoga pants & sports bras) that get delivered to my mailbox, I…
Reason #18 I love Crossfit Roots

Reason #37 I love Crossfit Roots
Last week was my three-year anniversary doing Crossfit. (Okay, minus the seven months I was out giving birth and recovering…but whatever.) In addition to the rad people I’ve met and the regularly scheduled ass kickings, I really love all the…
