The two Crossfit rules of perseverance:

Rule #1. Take one more step.

Rule #2. When you think you can't take one more step, refer to Rule #1.

Unfit or Crossfit, It's up to you!

One Year on

Today is exactly a year since I began CrossFit. Over this last year I have become the fittest i have ever been, made some really amazing friends, met some of the coolest people on the planet and joined a community that inspires me every day.

I am so glad to be a part of this and hope to be able to spread the word as much as possible.

CrossFit Rocks!
