What’s your favorite thing about CrossFit? I have never been a part of such a strong, powerful community! It automatically creates a common ground with other crossfitters. Without this community, there is no telling what I would be doing.
Favorite quote? Phil. 4:13
“I will act now…” Og Mandino
see full quote below:
“I will act now. I will act now. I will act now. Henceforth, I will repeat these words each hour, each day, everyday, until the words become as much a habit as my breathing, and the action which follows becomes as instinctive as the blinking of my eyelids. With these words I can condition my mind to perform every action necessary for my success. I will act now. I will repeat these words again and again and again. I will walk where failures fear to walk. I will work when failures seek rest. I will act now for now is all I have. Tomorrow is the day reserved for the labor of the lazy. I am not lazy. Tomorrow is the day when the failure will succeed. I am not a failure. I will act now. Success will not wait. If I delay, success will become wed to another and lost to me forever. This is the time. This is the place. I am the person.”

What’s your favorite thing about CrossFit? It’s so hard to pick just one! I love the feeling of family and community present at my box, as well as the way that other facilities welcome me as if I’m one of their own when I visit while on the road with work. I love the support and encouragement that is prevelant throughout this amazing community. I love that it gives me an healthy outlet for my Competitive/Type A Nature! I love that no matter how much progress I make, there is always, and will always be more work to be done and more goals to work toward.
