Increasing my strength.

If you could give yourself one piece of advice when you started CrossFit, what would it be?

Why’d you wait so long?

What are your favorite words to live by/quote?

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones that you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.

Explore. Dream. Discover.

~ H. Jackson Brown Jr. ~
