You don’t know who you inspire

June 29, 2015

“Wow, that was amazing!” the unfamiliar face said to me with wide eyes and a big smile while I was standing up after being exhausted from pushing the 360# sled across the turf. I smiled back at the very petite mother of two, who looked like she weighed no more than 100# herself, impressed at […]

May 21, 2015

A while back I had somewhat of what I would call a Crossfit-induced identity crisis. I am the kind of person who tends to go all-in with things. I get fixated on something and then everything else around me gets blurred out and then it might go from one vice, or obsession to another. In […]

Why do you do what you do

May 14, 2015

I posted a quote on Instagram last week that really made me think about myself and how I have judged others in the past. It made me realize that we only see such a small piece of what people are doing, and we can see the actions that they take; but we don’t know their why. […]

I am whatever I say I am..

April 27, 2015

I was looking for an image to go along with some recent thoughts I had about making a major life change, changing your mindset, and being open to new things, and I came across this. It got me thinking of how often we do fall into some bucket or category that we, or that someone else, […]

Road to the Crossfit Regionals- Athlete Spotlight: Alexis Johnson

April 20, 2015

Do you remember the first time you watched competitive Crossfit? Or when you first saw a female athlete and thought, “I want to be just like her”? When I started Crossfit, one of my first friends was a little petite thing with the drive and passion that was unmatched to anything I had ever witnessed in […]
