TUES 7.16.13 Holiday rooooooooooad!

Vacation season is upon us

Yes, I’m thrilled to take two weeks COMPLETELY away from CrossFit Midtown beginning tomorrow, to recharge my batteries, let my coaching-raspy voice recover, and relaaaaaaaax.
Sure, some of you have given me a hard time over whether this is a “REAL” vacation. To many of you, competing in a powerlifting meet, attending the CrossFit Games, and going to a BIZ seminar sounds a lot like I’ll still be working while I’m away. Well… yes and no.
I look forward to vegging out for a few days here in Midtown, away from the gym, visiting my family – and YES, I even look forward to competing and to attending the CrossFit Games and to catching up with all my colleagues at the BIZ seminar. I also have two massages, two acupuncture visits, a pedicure, and some beach & pool time on the agenda!
As I’ve met with some CFM students in the past week about your goals & accountability, I found myself setting a goal of my own with Allyson B. When we say down to discuss her goals, we chatted about the trip she & Brandon are taking next month to Machu Picchu. Right then & there, I committed to her that beginning in 2014, I’ll plan an international vacation to begin crossing places-to-go off my bucket list. I still need to narrow down the where, but step 1 is the HOW – for starters, WITH A PASSPORT. Time to renew that bad boy.
What’s on your bucket list and what’s a small step you can take THIS MONTH to get closer to achieving it?

Speaking of bucket list, congrats to CFM’s resident DJ POB on checking a goal off his bucket list and getting engaged to his girl Kat (a former CFMer) earlier this month. We’re so happy for you guys!
