I asked, “What do I do if it gets hard?”

She said, “JUST RUN FASTER MOMMY!”

So much to say about this weekend, but for now, try and beat my finish photo, you can’t!

I’ve spent most of my life with a chip on my shoulder. Proving I belonged. Working harder. Turning the hard shit into fuel.

And it worked, kinda. I’m sure my therapist thinks differently 😅

But becoming a mom has made me realize I don’t want my kids to need pain, comparison or “I’m not good enough” to find their drive.

I want them to work hard, have grit & know how to fight for something. But also being proud while they’re doing it.

I hope my kids grow up thinking they’re cool as hell. I hope they know they’re strong, capable and badass without needing anyone else to prove it to them.

It’s my job to show them that. Thats my fuel.

And if someone challenges them?

You better believe I’mma make sure they let that dawg OUT. 😤

This time I’m showing up proud of the work, grateful my body can do this, and ready to have a hell of a time.

The dawg is still in me.

She’s just wagging her tail now, with a slightly smaller chip. 🤘

Don’t make us say “talk to the hand.” 😏✋

Just a few house rules. We promise, it’s all in the name of keeping Backyard the best place to show up. 🫶

There really is no recovery days in motherhood. And it’s these tasks that make me question everything about my fitness level.

To all the moms out there, movement for us should be about empowering ourselves, improving mental health, releasing those feel good endorphins and taking a piece of joy and badassery for YOU. We all know we will get these physical feats of mothering done one way or another.

So find movement that empowers you, even if the day to day will still humble you! 💪🫶 by @laurmkrich

“Eight 1Ks? That’s fine!”

While pregnant with twins, @laurmkrich chose HYROX as her postpartum anchor, and recruited friends at @backyard.bos into suffering with her.

We talk endlessly about preparing for the baby. Considerably less about what one might need after.

A conversation about choosing the hard thing, finding freedom in structure and why it’s better with company.

@laurmkrich’s favorite hype song is “Eye of the Tiger.” She lost her first boxing match. She still describes being in the ring as one of the best feelings of her life.

In front of a sold-out crowd at the @hobboston Lauren realized boxing had given her back her confidence and a community that made Boston feel like home. She wanted other people to know that feeling, which sent her all in on fitness.

Today, she co-owns @backyard.bos, one of Fort Point’s coolest fitness spaces, and brought Hyrox to Backyard.

The episode lands during her birthday week. A fitting way for her to enter another year: choosing to do something hard, on purpose. Solo, obviously.

Happy birthday Lauren! 🥊

My dad would have turned 70 today and there are two things we always talked about, but never got. One being, he couldn’t wait to watch me be a mom, he had the highest expectations of what that would look like. This weekend, I had a whole weekend of being just that - a mom. We did so much, and I feel so grateful for this special time with just my babies.

It’s never easy, but every time it gets hard, I think about how much he believed in me and the way he did it. Because of his belief, I know how important it is to soak in every once of parenthood. Knowing he wishes he had more time, makes me extra grateful and aware of mine.

HYROX Boston is almost here — and if you’re in training mode, this one is for you!

We sat down with three of Boston’s top HYROX coaches and athletes — Sal Martinez of EverybodyFights, Brendan Shea of MYSTRYDE, and Lauren Keenan-Rich of Backyard Boston — and asked them everything. Training timelines, pacing strategy, the biggest mistakes first-timers make, and what they wish every athlete knew before stepping on that course.

The answer that surprised us most? All three coaches said the same thing about the biggest training mistake. Swipe to find out. 👀

A reminder that you can lift heavy things, and also let them go.

You can run fast, but also slow down enough to see how far you’ve come.

In my hybrid rockstar era, and it’s been so healing. 🤘

Proof that no one is immune to a treadmill humbling. 😅

Thankfully Lauren is totally fine, but consider this your reminder to pay attention when getting on and off the tread. A few extra seconds can save you from becoming the main character in the gym. 💀 taken in Backyard Bos by @laurmkrich

I joked with my class on Saturday that this was either going to go really well, or really bad. Glad it went really well 😅

In all seriousness, I usually keep our relationship to us. But thought it was a good reminder to share. If you’re in the thick of it with raising kids and life, stop comparing your relationship to anyone else, especially the past versions of your relationship.

Sometimes growing in love doesn’t look like candlelit dinners, sometimes it looks like showing up every single day and choosing each other.

13 years and he’s still my safe space, the one keeping me grounded and taming my wild side when I need a rest.
