chattanooga.

for the 3rd year in a row slim & i ventured up to 
chattanooga, tennessee for the rock/creek river gorge trail race.
the trail was a bit hilly to say the least...
our race team.
b, raffy, me, jesse, kandice & rob.
after the race we enjoyed a few cold local brews at 
the chattanooga brewing co.
two sampler cups in and this runner girl was done for...
slim & b & beer & braves.








i got a lot of inspiration from amazing chatt-town artists!
if only i had more time to craft!
the streets around town randomly had foot-by-foot 
dance instructions to tons of different dances.
here, nicole & raffy tested out their mamba skills.
we ate at urban stout, a tasty burger & bourbon spot.
i had the high tea which was delicious!
i saw this bumper sticker on a car and just loved it.
it was a beautiful day for walking around town.
we ventured across the walking bridge over the river
where the people watching was magnificent! 
chattanooga is such a  fun town!

my fabulous cori's cousin is awesome.
she is a fantastic artist who just sent cori a
few fabulous surprises, including this bike sticker that
cori so generously gave to me!
check out toby judith klayman here.

radical girl scouts.

i just started reading & loving jezebel.com
and have been so entertained! my go to website for pretty much
everything has been huff post for a while, but jezebel is so fun!
my favorite story of the day is:
to join her in harvesting fresh vegetable at the white house garden.
"the only explanation is that she, like them,
is out to promote a terrifying radical agenda of friendship, 
healthy living, and spending time outside on a nice day."

cfg 12.5

the crossfit games open has come to an end.
it was challenging and fun & i'm happy i did it.
the last workout was a combo of thrusters & chest to bars.
women thrusted with 65lbs & men used 125lbs.
good thing we've been working on our cleans in class.
65lbs is do-able for me, but tough...
my shoulder is still sore from the last cfg wod.
one of my goals has been to get a few strict pull ups.
i wiggeled a bit....
i was able to get 4 chest to bars
and 9 thrusters for a total of 13.
i know i'm getting stronger everyday!

kids & race.

the silver fox does it again.
checkout this sneak peak of a year-long study
on how children form opinions on race.

OFFICIAL GROW! WEB SITE

in the film were there & had a q&a after the film.
mollybjams & the fabulous anthony-masterson film-making duo.

glucose check & pedi.

its an excited thursday night at the levine-hunt household!
slim is testing his blood sugar while lea & i painted our nails.
slim scored a 99- so it's all good... we think?
we're going to test again the morning to get a true fasting score.
that's tulip pink on the piglets.

cfg wod 4.

this captures my exact reaction after 
seeing the 4th workout in the crossfit games open....
make that a paleo margarita. straight up no salt.

protein sweetness.

hello post workout protein!
jimbo did a bunch of research (surprise, surprise)
and found this particular powder to be the best.
i mix mine with chocolate coconut milk & water.
it's a delicious post-sweat, muscle building re-fuel.
*slim promised it wouldn't make me bulky.
