I got to spend my Monday evening with a few really wonderful Portland bloggers and Lisa Hill from Lisa Hill PR checking out Tula Bakery Cafe in North Portland. I have driven past Tula numerous times since it’s on the way to my friend Hannah’s and also to where our Sunday kickball games took place, but I had never stopped in.

PCA Tribute Lunch to Marcella Hazan at Nostrana

So, in T-Minus 12 days, I’ll be competing in my first legit Crossfit competition. Yikes. I’m a tad freaked out but in theory it should be a fun time.

I have been doing Crossfit (at CF Pearl District) for about 2 years now and absolutely love it. It is challenging, fun (in a crazy sort of way) and an amazing group of people.

Plus it is a great way to balance out all of the food I eat to make this blog a reality (ok, ok, I would still eat this much regardless of the blog).
