6. Day 4 of the Week of Daddy: The perfect Daddy-Daughter day posted March 4, 2011
   

   This morning I woke up to my girls jumping on my bed whispering to me, “daddy, what’s the surprise for today?” All week I’ve told them I had something special planned for them on Friday. And every day they would ask me, what’s the surprise? And to my astonishment, I actually kept it all a complete secret throughout the entire week. This is no small feat for me as I’m famous for always sharing surprises.

7. The week of Daddy: Day 3…and 100 Overhead squats to boot posted March 3, 2011
   

   Three days into my week as a solo Dad, while Christie is away in Mexico, and things are trucking along just fine. (big sigh! phew!)

   After a full day of getting the girls to school on time (again – LOL – believe me, its harder than it sounds), driving into Burnaby for meetings, back home to get them after school… and then of course, I had to get my workout in. Thankfully, Coach Darren is super cool about my girls coming to hang out at the box. Matter of fact, they are pretty low maintenance.

8. Mondays are meant for Crossfit posted February 21, 2011
   

   Today was a great day! Like I’ve said in previous posts about my workouts, I love training on Mondays. The start of a new week, and the perfect opportunity to set the momentum for my body to persevere throughout the week. Today’s workout at Crossfit Langley was just what I needed today.

9. A few days off does the body good posted February 18, 2011
   

   I can honestly say that the last few days have been heavenly for my body. After 4 days of no working out, pure stretching and a couple sessions with my doctor friends, I was feeling great tonight. The momentum, once I got it going, kept me moving well after the clock started ticking. The below is a great little burner that I highly recommend. Will get your whole body moving, and if you are anything like me, the sweat will run freely.

10. A couple that works out together stays together posted February 14, 2011
    

    Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! What a great night tonight. The whole family made the trip out to Crossfit Langley for the 5:30pm class. The girls were busy coloring while Mom and Dad crushed a couple of WOD’s. Gotta say, love working out with my lady there. Makes me push myself a little bit harder…
