Austin's Fittest

 

A big THANK YOU to CrossFit Central for nominating me for this year's "Austin's Fittest" issue in Austin Fit Magazine. I still remember 3 years ago when I was checking out the whole CrossFit thing. I came across Carey Kepler's bio on the website and saw she had won Austin's Fittest. Then 2 years ago Coach Crystal McReynolds won the same award. I thought to myself, I want to be that person---the person in the community that people recognize as fit and who stands for fitness in all capacities.

I know it's only an award, but I wrote down on my goals 1 year ago that I wanted to be recognized as a fitness example in Austin, TX, and now I have the possibility to realize that goal thanks to the community I am a part. BAM.

I need your help by voting!

Starfish

Empowering, coaching, & believing in all possibilities regardless of the situation. Those are my starfish.

What are your starfish?

I challenge you to keep throwing them back into the water. Every day. Do that, and you will be be happy.


Starfish Story
One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean.
Approaching the boy, he asked, “What are you doing?”
The youth replied, “Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them back, they’ll die.”
“Son,” the man said, “don’t you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can’t make a difference!”
After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it back into the surf.
Then, smiling at the man, he said, “I bet I made a difference for that one.”

Vacay

It's summer time which means lots of fun traveling. Two of my clients sent me pictures from their most recent trip. Vanessa in the Relentless Boot Camp at Lake Pointe sported her Relentless tee while in Carmel, CA.

Michelle in the class at O'Henry Middle School traveled to Colorado for the Bolder Boulder 10K and fueled her body with mimosas and bacon, of course =).

I am fired up and ready for my vacation to Cali for the CrossFit Games. I can't wait to cheer on my fellow teammates and showout for 5 days straight. Sun's out, SHOWOUT!
