  • CrossFit Impavidus: CrossFit For Hope

    You know what I realized this morning more than ever before – how much I love to help others discover how strong they are. I coached the 6A class this morning and the workout was Helen – she’s a hard one. 400m run, 21 KB swings, 12 Pull ups – 3 RFT. Yeah quite a…

  • Pay It Forward…

    I won a $25 gift card at work the other day and have decided to donate it to a local family I heard about today. Times are hard and this family is having a rough go — the husband lost his job and wife is on disability and they are not making ends meet. The…

  • American Cancer Society Relay for Life

    It was another proud moment yesterday watching Hannah up on the stage sharing our family’s story. She worked hard to improve her presentation and it really showed. Remember, she’s only 9!

  • Hug someone today

    thought that this was worth re-posting: Since we found out that my dad was sick with cancer this past year, I won’t leave the house without hugging and kissing my parents. I have come to realize that every minute I have with them is a gift from God. Every hug, every word, every kiss—all gifts…

  • CrossFit and Community

    We met Kelly again today at CrossFit. She is one of those mean ladies that are considered benchmarks. I woke up with a sore throat and tired and should have listened to my body more but I love the challenge of doing these benchmarks — so I went. It was tougher than I expected. I…

  • Squat Cleans

    Since we had family in town this weekend, we officially moved Father’s Day to next Sunday in our house.  Sometimes you have to do what you have to do — It was so fun to have my big brother here for the weekend. I love seeing my kids around their family since we don’t live…
