  • CrossFit Games Athlete: Gretchen Kittelberger Inspires Me

    Here are the top 3 women in the CrossFit Mid-Atlantic Regionals this past weekend. Christy Phillips, Jen Jones (top spot), Gretchen Kittelberger.

    This pic makes me smile. It’s my niece Amelia and Sis In Law, Janine. 2 people I would love to be able to spend more time with in my life.  It’s hard when you live clear across the country. It’s definitely easier now with Skype but sad that I don’t get to be a regular…
