On May 14th after a few “false starts,” I joined Crossfit XLR8.

I never in a million years thought I would ever touch, let alone pick up a barbell. Lifting weight was a totally foreign concept to me until I joined Crossfit. In fact a lot of the things we do at Crossfit I never imagined ever doing or even attempting. Crossfit has become such a big …
I have always said that my name and the word “athlete” should never be used in the same sentence. This is all thanks to my height and speed, or lack thereof. Therefore, to even be considered for the Athlete of the Month is very flattering. I have exercised for many years and tried all the …

Pic from crossing the finish line at the Rock and Roll Half Marathon. I have been blessed to be part of Crossfit XLR8 since October of 2009. When I started Crossfit, I was not sure what I was getting myself into. I thought it was another “class” that I would attend for a couple of months and …
