I have always been an athlete. I played sports from Middle School all the way through college. But, after getting married and starting my career, things changed. I tried to squeeze in the gym when I could, or go for a run when I felt like it, but never anything really consistent. Then, I had kids and it changed even more. Workouts got fewer and farther between. In May of 2016 I found crossfit and fell in love! It is an athletic workout that can be scaled for anyone. It is different every day, so never boring. It is challenging and as competitive as you want it to be. Since beginning my time at Crossfit 925 I have regained the strength I had as a college athlete, have endurance enough to keep up with my kids (that's a lot!) and am hopefully extending my life by staying fit. I work out at 5:15 a.m. to beat the heat, start the day right, and be able to chase the kids around in the afternoons. It definitely isn't easy, but totally worth it. I hope that I am able to continue to improve on my fitness as I forge into my forties...
