STRONGER, HARDER, FASTER


All of my friends who don't do Crossfit are a little (uh, ok alot) weirded out by my undying love and devotion to it.

Crossfit is so, well for lack of a better word I'll quote Jason on this, "VIOLENT." It's a way to get out all of the negativity that we ALL face in our daily lives and leave it all on that mat. My journey to all things Crossfit began actually when someone told me that I wasn't athletic. Instead of taking that as an insult, I used it as momentum. There's nothing I love more than getting the last laugh :) Gradually working out at Crossfit evolved into a completely different thing for me. I've had the chance to meet alot of drama free, disciplined, funny, great people. Crossfit is great because there is no real "ultimate goal", there is always a new way to challenge yourself. Fitness is not a goal, it's a way of life.

New goal: Crossfit 4 days on, 1 day off.

I have 9 months ahead of rigorous training ahead of me...BRING IT!

Rabble-Rabble-Rabble-Rabble


Today I went Kickboxing at Crossfit Unlimited.  I knew I was in for a treat when the following dialogue was uttered:

Trainer: Well, uh I hope you don't think this is like "Tae-Bo."  This is REAL kickboxing
Me: -Gulp- okkkkk???
Trainer: Good, remember you'll need gloves and tape.

Currently, my hammies are crying.  Mission accomplished.

Ergh, I guess I'm moderately trendy now....


Hollah Hollah friends and family I'm so excited to start my very own nifty blog. This is mostly going to consist of my random insights (-anyone who knows me knows how random I can be-) as well as my fitness journey.



...but most of all I just wanna send a whole lotta sunshine all of your way!
