This was never on my radar. Never once could I have imagined myself in the position of training for the most life changing, positive or strength-testing experience of my life . . . . . . . . . When I found OCR/Crossfit, I was in the most vulnerable place in my life. I felt unloved, uncared for, shame, guilt and like my worth was absolutely unrecognizable. Through @craigfit at @gritlife_gr I have been able to find myself; find my grit, my fight, my worth. I have been able to fight my demons with my might not my words. I have also tested myself far out of my comfort zone. I'm incredibly proud of myself not only for the ridiculous amounts of new I have accomplished this year but for picking myself back up and finding something I am passionate about, something that brings out all the good I have in myself. I would have never thought in my wildest of dreams I would be kicking ass jumping over 8' walls, carrying heavy objects or hoisting myself through tough conditions, ones that would make the toughest person, give up. I could imagine a more perfect race yesterday. I may have missed or attempted seven obstacles and had to do 215 Burpees but I am beaming with pride. Everything about that race was perfect in every way. #spartanrace #spartan #iamaspartan #spartansuper #finisher #ocrtraining #ocr #crossfit #blessed #guilt #shame #enough #vulnerable #trailrunning #trailrunner #mycoachisthebest #trifectabound
