415ish WODs

=10,000 page views

Wow!  While this blog has been focused on my workouts, my getting better... everyday stronger... this past year (and a bit) has been about so much more than that.  It's been a transformation for my body - getting leaner, stronger, more capable but it's also been a transformation for my mind - stronger, clearer, braver. The stats, the improvements, the milestones are all there but it’s nice to look back on how far I have come in just over a year – it’s a long way and I’m happier, more confident and overall in a better place because I found crossfit, this lifestyle and most importantly this group of people that I’m surround by.  So, just for fun – a little look back on it all – in links.
