Crossfit is an emotional rollercoaster, and I believe that between my drive to be a better overall athlete and my bucket list goal to complete a half marathon, I will be riding the coaster for quite a bit longer.

From my recent post about reasons why you should compete in a Crossfit Competition, one of my top selling points is that you find out that you are capable of doing things that you never thought you were able to do before.

For as many posts as I have about how amazing and wonderful Crossfit is, I feel I am starting to add just as many about some adverse effects, like injuries and demotivation. Either way, I still think Crossfit is the best thing ever. I even was published on TabataTimes yesterday for a short random musings […]

There is always a bit of friendly competition that goes on within my Crossfit box. First and foremost, you are always competing with yourself.
