Every once in a while, I have to pat myself on the back. This is one of those times.... After sticking my fork in and having the meat just fall off, I knew I had a winner. Then with one bite it was clear. Ok I'll stop gloating now.... (I am just pumped because there [...]
Alright, people. This is a GOOD one. It's so good, that starting my day has a whole new level of excitement to it now. And with that whole new level of excitement comes a whole new level of productivity and even energy in the gym... what is it??? It's my vanilla COCONUTTY PROTEIN COFFEE! One of [...]
Hey there! This weekend has been one of those rare one where I am home with Rusty and the pups, which means I get to do one of my favorite things... train hard Saturday morning and then eat a big breakfast with Rusty. We love breakfast. a lot. And we decided to try something new [...]
Today's post comes to you from the Bruner kitchen. I am actually shocked that I haven't really mentioned my Vitamix yet considering it's my 4th love (just behind Rusty and our two pups). This thing can be used to make pretty much any dish. It's fast, it cleans itself, and no kitchen should be without [...]

Kids (especially those who are underserved and under-appreciated) doing CrossFit at school... you already know how happy this makes me, but let me tell you a little bit more. I have been incredibly fortunate in my life; I get to do a job I absolutely love for a company (CrossFit, Inc.) that loves and appreciates [...]
Let's talk about 14.1. *note: if you don't care that much about The Open, I hope I can help change your mind, BUT you can also just scroll to the bottom for some nutrition tidbits for today. I have a recipe for you, and I go through what a morning of eating around my training [...]
*This is a picture from my trip down to LA today to visit Dana Middle School and the amazing CrossFit PE class of Kevin Corrinet and his non-profit affiliate Wiseburn CrossFit. I’m not sure if many of you know this, but I was formerly a high school English Literature teacher, and I LOVED my job, [...]
So here we are! Off to the races. It is my first blog post, and I am PUMPED. Not necessarily because loads of people are going to read this one. In fact, not many people will, but there is something so liberating about just the IDEA of someone reading my thoughts. My first post is [...]
