Background:
Before joining Albany CrossFit in March 2008 I jogged for 20+ years, participated in several 5K runs a year, finished three 10K races and one 1/2 marathon. 10+ years of aerobics and two years of kick boxing was my exercise program.
Crossfit is now my exercise program!
My favorite WOD is anything that involves thrusters or lifting. I like box jumps, climbing the rope or getting on the rings for “skin the cat”. Basically I just like hanging, on anything, bars, ropes and rings. My hardest WOD involves rowing. My goals are to lift heavy weights and get a better string of consecutive pull-ups.
I like knowing everything I can about CrossFit and I enjoy sharing that with others. I find a great deal of pleasure teaching, training, and helping people get healthier, fitter and happier in their exercise program. I get a thrill when someone gets a PR or gets better at a certain skill during my classes.
Diet:
I have been on the Zone diet since August of 2008 and love it. I measure and weigh out approximately 12-14 blocks per day. I not only lost 18lbs my first year on the Zone but I have more strength and energy then I have ever had.
Outside CrossFit:
Outside of CrossFit, my favorite past time is reading and research. I not only have a passion for CrossFit but I have a passion for God. Christian music and Christian books lay side by side by my CrossFit books. Weekends are based around family, chores and a never ending job of renovating an old house. The coolest thing besides shopping and the movies with my daughter has to be riding my Harley Davidson 1200 Sportster. That is a feeling beyond words.
