Welcome to my CrossFit training journal. I started CrossFitting about a year ago with my good friend Eileen. This summer, I took the big leap and achieved my CrossFit Level 1 Trainer Certification. Now, of course, I am completly CrossFit obsessed!

As you can see, I am not the strongest or fastest athlete out there. However, my goals are to improve and to get stronger, faster and fitter using CrossFit. In CrossFit, I have had the most fun and the most challenging workouts of my adult life. I am passionate about the CrossFit ideas and ideals. I love the CrossFit concepts of fitness for myself and for the athletes that I coach.

I prouly use CrossFit to help train our Green Mountain Aquatics swim team athletes. I look forward to building my CrossFit knowledge and experience over the years and promote fitness with everyone I know. I credit CrossFit with my improved health and well-being . . . Thank you CrossFit for enhancing my life experience and making my life richer!
