[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Before I joined CrossFit Southie, I didn’t give much thought to pull-ups… well, other than, I can’t do ’em. Now I find myself passing the park on my way to the bank, eyeing the monkey bars and wondering if playground sand might be…

Today: Grown up snack packs.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]I couldn’t help but think of Billy Madison on Sunday night, while whipping up lunches for the week. Billy Madison: Where’s my snack paaaack? Juanita: You got a banana, you don’t need no snack pack. I don’t care what Juanita says. I need…

Today: Running… into old friends.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Remember when we were in middle school and we’d plan coordinating outfits with our besties? Reebok took the guesswork out of matchy-matchy for me and six other FitFluential ambassadors running the Canton Road Race at Reebok World Headquarters this morning. We had no trouble…

Today: No guts, no glory… and a skunk alert.
Oh, hey. If you don’t want to read about body parts, skip to the end for a photo of one of the weirdest things I’ve seen in ages. Also, it should probably go without saying, but this is the internet, so… I am not a medical…

[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]What could be better than a free entry to the upcoming Allstate Life Insurance Boston 13.1 Marathon® ? How about that, plus the chance to support the Boston Rescue Mission and the work they do to prevent and end homelessness in our city and…

Today: Old kids on the dock.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Some people know my friend Elizabeth (we Elizabeths like to stick together) as my drinking buddy. She’s been present 2 out of the 3 times I’ve been over-served in the past decade. As she wisely put it yesterday, her gremlin speaks to my…

Today: Handstand push ups? Handstand push ups.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Two words I never thought I’d be so excited to see paired: handstands and push-ups. Like most girls who spent hours and hours perfecting their underwater handstands, turning cartwheels across the beach and performing very amateur gymnastic “shows” as a child, I can…
