I do not think my life to be extraordinarily interesting as a whole, nothing
to make someone run to check out my bio or inspire burning questions about who
I am. But I will admit that I occasionally have days that beg to be recorded
because I truly cannot make up this stuff called life!
A few weeks shy of my 48th birthday, I am a bit introspective; it’s been the busiest year of my life. I have had challenges I never thought I would have. In one respect, I have accomplished more this year than I ever have before in my life, with goals yet to be reached. In another respect, every day I realize I am only scratching the surface of what I am meant to do. My mom always told me I could do anything. Well, she just might be right about that!

I began CrossFit back in 2009 in our driveway. My fitness freak and Taekwondo Grand Master of a
husband, Mark, talked me into trying it with him and we began to invite another
couple over to work out with us. In January 2010 we decided to open Trinity
CrossFit. My husband has been Coach Mark at our box (Crossfit slang for
"gym") since then. I have had a love/ hate relationship with
CrossFit ever since we began. For various reasons I would not get
on the same page as Mark about it. I would work out for a while. I would stop working out. I would start
again. I even jokingly referred to myself as the career "On Ramper",
which is what we call a new athlete at our box. As of August 2012 I chose to
jump in with both feet and try to be the best me I can be. I am more involved
in the business aspect of owning a box than before. I am well on my way to getting my first
pull-up and I plan on looking good in a swimsuit for the summer of 2013!
I am healthier and slimmer and STRONGER than ever before. I spend more time with my husband and I have made some friends that I hope will be lifelong. Oh, and the couple that came over to work out in the driveway? They still work out with us at Trinity! All this proves that it is just never too late to start doing something good for your health. Whether you are starting for the first time or you're like me and have started over and over before, just start!
I am very proud of your accomplishments and I know Oleta would be so proud of you as she always was.
